The size of the pit is determined based on your intended use. If it is for keeping warm and creating light, a diameter of 2 feet is usually enough for one to three people and three to four feet for larger groups. If it is for cooking, it will depend on the food. The recommended 2-4 feet diameter is often sufficient for barbeques, direct grilling, and Dutch oven cooking. You might consider making two pits for indirect grilling especially whole stuff like for roasting whole pig.E-MAIL: vphillips@desnews.com2. Drive a stake in the ground at the pit center.
