fire pit/grills
 

buddy of mine scored a couple of 18 wheeler rims and wanted me to make him a grill. i did a grill for him and a fire pit for me. the grill has a bottom flue and the pit is sealed.
still need some expanded metal for the grill. anyone got any?

Nice work. Post a few more pics. I think I can get a few rims

all the pics look about the same as far as construction goes.
i cut the backside of the rim off flush with the lug nut plate and welded it onto the front side on the fire pit. i did the same on the grill, only didn't weld it back on, i built the grill in the cut off pc and inset it into the main rim. i put outside handles on the grill and a davit on the bowl. the boot ring is a 3/4" pipe bent in a hyd jack bender and welded at the ends.
the grill brace on one is 1/2' SS ROUND STOCK AND 1/8" X 1" FLAT BAR on the other. like i said before, still need some grill material. really don't want to have go buy it in a 4 x 8 pc.

You do good work!

thanks, just an old retired boilermaker, beatin on some metal.

Best fires around come from 18 wheeler rims, no doubt. Perfect vents that are elevated and don't get clogged
