    Our cousin has the big sky firepit and it's nice and deep to hold a lot of wood for a good fire. Very nice looking with the designs on the side too.
    We have a more shallow firepit with tile around the edge which we enjoy on cool New Hampshire evenings. Nothing like chatting around a fire.

    I like the one in the YouTube video. It would be great for a back patio. Nice information.

    I have to say I like this better than the chiminea we have now, but that will have to nearly disintegrate before we'll buy one. :D Thanks for the preview.
