We did not have a fire pit, but we used to build a bonfire in our back
yard when I was growing up. We cooked hamburgers, ham patties, hot
dogs, marshmallows, etc. We would also wrap some things in aluminum
foil--corn on the cob, potatoes, chicken and put them in the hot embers
to cook. Most of the fun was just sitting around the fire and enjoying
the companionship. Sometimes we would put a container of baked beans on
the fire. You should be able to do anything in a fire pit that we did
while sitting around an open campfire.
