A real firepit!!

Stars and Sun from that epitome of cosmopolitan stores – Rural King.

The Moon and Stars – first time I saw it I thought, “Who would buy a funky firepit like that?” I had that same “who would buy” initial feeling about the little green car, as well, and we all know what happened to my heartstrings.

The second time I looked at the Moon and Stars, I got a sense of a compatriots gathered in ceremony . . . er, maybe Druids – not that we wanted to sacrifice anyone. This is not going well – my description. Let’s just say it grew on me and so Summer and I bought it and brought it home and put it together. Then we had a fire and it smoked. So we are refining out wood techniques, realizing that we are not aiming for one of our go all day in the winter fireplace fire, but a cheery little segment of the evening fire. We are gearing up to split our firewood into kindling and pieces a bit larger than kindling; in other woods, we are in the training wheels phase of firepitting.

Der Bingle wants a real picture of our exact firepit with some of the patrons of the Peanut Butter Cafe & Roadhouse sitting around it toasting foldovers. We will see if we can oblige because he says, “If it’s not on the cow, it hasn’t happened.”

One thought on “A real firepit!!”
