Sycamore Brewery in Charlotte ordered two more fire pits. But elevated to 30 inches tall so the patrons would not fall into them.   |

Those are so cool! I bet you'd sell out in no time if the shipping wasn't an issue cross-country.

Combined weight 320 pounds. All you have to do is open an account and get their discounts. That was a cheaper than normal quote though. |

Starting to look like one of those Martian tripods out of War of the Worlds I assume the Death Ray will be an option on the next model. |

If you made little fire pits for roasting marshmallows, you would sell lots to a new market. I think.

Ha, War of the World's has been mentioned before on long legged fire pits. Suppose a better artist mind could make sales on a better reproduction of such. Funny, the guys buy the ones with legs, and the gals like the pedestal mounts. Maybe some sexy metal mannequin legs... |

Spending fire pit profits on marsh-mellows Pat. Not many a fire goes with out her roasting them. Never thought about marketing them as such. Probably 2 out of 3 are sold to parents/grandparents to do fires w/the kids.  |

Placed an order yesterday for 100 more bowls. About sold out of this stock since the first of the year. note to Etsy sellers: Try Etsy's ad service. I set up for $1/day's worth of added ads and sales went up 300%. pretty sure it was the reason. This is a drained swamp(ex constructed wetland), covered with permeable geo-textile fabric. Using the humidity and dampness to rust 'season' the steel. The bowls come in coated in very messy graphite that is used to lubricate the forming process. Rust is about the only way to remove it.  |

Man, but you have really been going through those this year. That's a good thing! They look like a bunch of mushrooms that cropped up after a rain.
Have you ever used them for sledding in snow?

Those two would plot welding two bowls together with (someone) inside. Great minds- she laughing. Lye-I have no idea Bob. Check Ebay, anything there. Specially chemicals... |

Yep. rockpickerforever, they have started to attack all the sudden. Mentioned this earlier, pay $1/day on Etsy for extra ad exposure and hold on. I buy 2nds, sold so fast I had to buy 42 inch ones that were not defective till they run a bunch and create defects. Costs more $$$ Can raise price, may not get any balkers. Having fun. |
