    I have two friends with a fire pit, and we have discussed hanging out around the fire pit on semi-nice days this winter just to see some human beings face-to-face now that we're being plunged into the misery of winter. But this does not look fun to me. Then there's the staff to think about--bad idea, folks.

      Yeah, I have a fire pit and have met people for a beer at parks, but not since it's gotten south of freezing, and not since the massive spikes

        Yup, things are extremely bad in my state right now, so the fire pit idea is on hold for now, but I think we'll do it on a few sunny days even if it's very cold. You know how it is once you get far enough into winter that a sunny day feels absolutely balmy even if it's below freezing.

          A point of pride for those in the Midwest that above freezing is t-shirt weather in February. I should post in !diy@hexbear.net, but you can buy propane fire pit kits on Amazon, along with a Weber grill and some volcanic rock makes a very portable, aesthetically pleasing firepit. I have it on my balcony, great for even 20 minutes of hanging outside.

            Oh interesting! My dad has a Weber grill--I might see if we can have some outdoor family hang out time this winter. Thanks for the suggestion!
