Thanks. It works great. The mesh grill is an added plus. Last time out, I used flat rocks. Much better idea, and light weight enough. My grandkids wanted a bonfire, but with the "no burn" restrictions in the area, this worked better, and everyone could get close enough to the fire to get warm.
Yeah Dakota fire pits are really good not to give your position away. I carry and use one of those little planting spades that you can find everywhere in spring, for planting plants. Stay safe Blitz

Yes! Thank you...found a good artist, the original guy literally fell off the planet after doing the initial work and I haven't had a chance to finish off the idea until now.
How deep can you dig a dakota fire hole and not have issues I was thinking if you dug it fairly deep 16 or 18 inches but I want to dig it shaped like a pear with a narrow opening but dig it really wide around then dig a second hole at an angle like a rocket stove and if you have seen reallybigmonkeys channel he uses some ductwork for a stove I would use something similar like a transition box with the front and bottom cut off to put over the hole for a chimney if you see what I mean and it would be fed through that second hole dug at an angle like a rocket stove....just a thought what do y'all think about it think it would work?
I can see that working well…the soil and your ability to dig deep is the big question. Sometimes the soil is so loose and sandy in my area there is no way dig more than 6 inches lol
Just to be in the safe side... I would get rid of all roots... you could start a underground fire by not take care of them... just saying... better safe than sorry
That may prove quite difficult in many kinds of terrain where there are roots. If you encounter roots while making the hole for your fire, you may end up having to upset the surrounding soil so much to remove roots that there’d be little integrity left in the soil to support a good hole structure.

Sounds like a total success, glad you liked the video. I would def prefer some rocks in my area, but alas its mainly sand and pine needles.
Definitely a great bushcrafting tip. Great way to prevent your fires from being seen
Thanks for dropping in Titan, glad you liked the video.

Yes sir, that's my favorite fire setup. I used it ALOT since in many locations I'm have to be low profile with fire.
Thank you my friend
Always welcome
now I gotta try the pit! Makes good sense.
Good times
Lovely
Good times, back in April
Thank you sir.
Most welcome
The reason they don't call this the Vermont fire pit is because we have so many rocks you're gonna spend all day trying to dig the holes.
Lol exactly! That's why a proper above ground fire pit with a big rock ring is probably the best way

I would have thought that the number one reason for not cutting down live trees is that they do not burn...
I build mine with the body parts of my enemies lol
I knew I'd been doing it wrong!
