Someone Threw Out a Terra Cotta Firepit with Chimney. I'm Using it to Make Pizzas.
The bottom was a little cracked but it still has decent structural integrity. I reinforced it with some fire bricks.

It was a huge learning curve. I used mostly charcoal and a little wood. I had to put a metal tray inside so that the coals got more air.

I have two small pizza stones and I used them together to make a thicker stone to cook on. Since the opening is large, the bottom of the pizza cooks faster but I'm going to try a few tricks to see if I can change that.

Very nice Harry. Really like the carpet in the yard. It brings an air of dignity to the dirt patch.

Next time I'm going to put a metal trivet between the two pizza stones to make a heat buffer. If that doesn't work, I'll need to figure out how to make a door for the opening to keep more heat inside.

That area can be a bit of a disaster zone. I have a larger fire pit next to it that I've thrown some wacky stuff into. I might get rid of it and just use the terra cotta one. I haven't decided yet.

You have no idea. I was on my bike when I found it so I rode it back home. I walked to the fire pit at the same time that a vehicle pulled up across the street to get it. They saw me pick it up and they drove off.

Ten more seconds and it would have been theirs.

The flames were touching the pizza stones a little but they didn't crack. That's a good sign. I need to get a better rack to put them on.

Tricky though... I think the next ones I try will go better. Once I have it down, I'll make my own from scratch. There's still plenty of tomatoes growing in the backyard.

Oh yeah....have found some great stuff out by someone's curb for trash pick up. Had to shake my head when a young couple put out a really sweet Danish desk. Not a thing wrong w/ it. They could've sold it easily but probably had no idea what they had (or inherited).

Same thing w/ pottery here in NC.

Today I rode by a lawnmower that someone was getting rid of. The last one I picked up just needed the spark plug tightened. I used it for a few years.
