Hey have any of you converted a wood fire pit to a propane one or other fuel one? I have been looking at kits on line and they are expensive. I thought about using an old bbq grill burner and regs but i don't think that will put off enough flame and heat. I made a proto type with copper pipe and using a propane torch just for burner tests and it seems a little wild (burned my eye lashes but kept the eye brows
) last night before we went out to dinner. Because of recent developments i am starting to doubt the saftey of this home made time bomb and was thinking of using kerosene or citronella in a stainless steel "tank" with 1/2 inch tiki torch wicks going through pipes drilled through the lid of the tank. I figure it has got to be as safe as those tiki torches, or more because it will be in the copper fire pit. It is going to be getting cold and would like something that is fast warm and easy to use when i go out to smoke.
Any ideas? Other than stop smoking.
