How to build a fantastic smoke free fire pit from an old washing machine for free!

Here I will show you how to build a fire pit out of an old washing machine. This only took me a couple of hours and cost us nothing (aside from having to get a new washing machine!). Its always nice to be able to reuse something if at all possible!
We had some bits of scrap metal that we used to create legs but if you don’t have any metal then you can place the drum on a few bricks and it will work just as well.
The simple design is fantastic. The fire pit gets up to temperature quickly and burns with almost no visible smoke. Perfect to sit next to after a long day working on the smallholding (or building the fire pit!).
We are trying to be as self-sufficient and off grid as possible on our smallholding, our English homestead, with a little help from Hazel, our pup.

I love scrapping stuff and reusing it for something else! I subbed for more!😊

Mount it on an old lawnmower carriage for an easily moveable fire pit

Sounds like another good project!

nice simple build but definitely not a smokeless fire pit.
