I think our fire pit is almost done. And yes, I will post pics of it when
it is. They are back there now building us a wood rack and cutting up
whatever wood from the old play structure that can be used for burning.
They said that we won't need to buy any for a long time.

I already bought long sticks for marshmallows and a fork for wieners. Have
since ordered another fork, a single square pie iron and a pie iron
cookbook. The fire pit is for use by the teens. I wasn't sure how well the
pie iron would go over. They also make a round one and a double one. I
also ordered a large pie iron storage bag that will hopefully hold all of
these things.

I did see a corn popper for sale but at almost $30, I passed that by. What
else can be cooked with a fire pit? Ours has a domed safety lid sort of
thing over it so I am thinking that things like hobo packets or baked
potatoes might not work unless perhaps we could put them on top of that.
And I had thought one could do corn on the cob but saw no instructions on
how to do it.

I actually don't know the particulars of the pit just yet. They will show
us how to use it. But progress has been slower than expected due to
unexpected rain again and again.

He did point out that there is room at the back for a BBQ but we agreed that
we likely wouldn't use one. Not sure how much use the pit will get aside
from a time or two for the novelty of it all. Especially with our frequent
burn bans. But... The eyesore of a playground is gone and now we have some
grown up stuff back there that looks really nice. His friend made 4 rustic
benches out of logs and there are copper looking tiki torches all around.
Pics soon, I hope.

Anyway... Is there anything I have missed in terms of food that could be
cooked on it? Any tools that I've missed? We do have a set of rarely used
fireplace tools but I am thinking I might need log tongs or something,
specifically for this. Oh and a bucket. He said to keep a bucket of water
nearby.

Thanks!
