We found this DIY firepit idea that's a simple solution for creating your own backyard chimenea. Steel washtub, bricks, and wood, and you are ready to go. Make sure your firepit is on solid level ground and that you've got the proper fire extinguisher, sand, or water nearby.

I bought a giant metal bowl (c. 3' in diameter) from a used restaurant supplies place years ago, and over the years it has sat around rusting beautifully. I use it as is for a firepit, and drag it about at whim. I love this fire bowl.

Reminds me of the old days hanging out on the beach with the firepit at Golden Gardens in Seattle. Good times.
