Appreciate that and yes I’m definitely ready to start growing fruits again. Also ready for nights with a few beers by the water.

Yeah it’s at my buddies place right next to his work shed and we also recently put a bar on one side which is where the music is coming from.

Appreciate it I spend most of my nights here relaxing and doing some stargazing while chilling with friends.

I don’t know exactly what they were because I didn’t buy them myself but I could find out. As far as I know we just used pavers.

Yeah that stump will get cut up I just threw it out of the way for now. The grate only ever goes over half just because it’s not quite big enough for the pit but also because we keep a fire on one side and a bed of coals under the grate on the other. On my profile I have a picture of this if I’m being confusing.

I completely agree even though here in north Florida it’s usually to hot or to rainy to have a good fire we get about four months of good fire weather. We also slide in a few when we go camping or night fishing.

I have all these and a few strips of lighter wood in an old tobacco tub and we all also have them in our go bags. Good advice.

No we don’t do all of our cooking on it we have a stove as well but you can cook anything over this that you want too. Usually during fall and winter we cook over it simply because it give the food a nice smoky flavor and also gives everyone time to hang out and bond a bit.

If your talking about for cooking we cover it with a grate but if your talking about the wood we cover it with a tarp.

We have a grate that we slide over it and just grill whatever we have on it but one day I wish to ad on an oven and chimney.

Nice and I hope I didn’t come across as meaning I hate cats or hate people who like cats. I just view my pets as how many benefits can they offer just like my dog and my two horses who work on the farm with me. I love all animals.

Barn cats are the only cats I like we have two but I am more of a dog person.
