Has anyone seen any deals for patio fire pits-I'd like one a little bigger. Saw one on target.com but it said 16"-that's not very high! Seems more table top.

lowes has recently been clearancing outdoor patio furniture. Might want to give that a shot. YMMV since they've had a lot of good deals from it and it might be pretty well picked through.

I have a friend who is into cool things like that and he usually finds the stuff at Target.

whern we bought this house, there was one in the backyard inside the ground but it was simply a weber kettle without the legs. they kept firewood scraps in it. I got tired of being worried about snakes so we got rid of it.
