      Next time place concrete, water the concrete and then put painters plastic or better (mil thickness) over it. This keeps the moisture from escaping, way less chance of any cracks due to cure. I just poured 20 yards in my backyard, watered it daily with plastic over it for 3 days, came out perfect.

    I really appreciate how you go through the process of your builds and tell us about the problems you find or what you would do different the next time. Many videos skip those parts and I find that they are the details that make or break a project. You use very smart techniques and it helps to see the details of the steps. Awesome work and great videos!

    My dad also found a washing machine drum on the street, so he just made a base for it and we've been using it as a camping fire put for years. The drilled holes on the side really let off a good amount of heat. Your concrete donut looks like it meshes well, cool project.

  • @1Aorangi
    @1Aorangi 5 років тому

    Two things I'd do to get that pit humming. Dig a couple of small channels under the pit on each side so air can be sucked in underneath. I'd use a couple of old barbeque grills to cover the holes so you don't trip into them. That air from underneath will stop it smoking so much out of the top and getting in your face. Also if you want to start it easily and burn it longer, fill the tub with big chunks of firewood, and start a small kindling fire on the top. Put the biggest bits on the bottom. The fire will start quickly and easily on top and will burn down into the pile taking a couple of hours to burn. Any smoke that forms will pass through the hot fire and get burnt rather than coming out the top. As kindling burns down, it will ignite the bottom bigger logs. Once it's roaring, you'll be able to simply drop big logs in from the top into the ember bed.

    Some washer drums have a balancing medium in the rim. If you don't cut/drill into that part of the drum it can build up pressure and eventually vent violently. Definitely worth checking into. We used washing machine drums in Scouts for burn barrels and learned our lesson after the first one burst.
