Are you able to cook on this? Didn't see it anywhere and wasn't sure if the sand would give off some kind of cancer causing chemical *rolls eyes* or something of the same nature? If it is said somewhere, sorry for the comment.

P.S. Great 'ible !

I wouldn't cook with it because, well, sand burger. Howver a portable unit to take to the beach would be sweet. Though wind could be an issue.

I was thinking about this and then I started to wonder if you understood that i mean to cook something like hotdogs and marshmallows as if a campfire

[H3xx]

Oh. I thought you mentioned actual cooking like grilling. :) As long as your sand isn't treated with anything, and you've kept the cats away from it it should be fine. Just make sure not to get any sand on anything you cook and don't drip anything into it. I'm quite sure a sand filled grease fire would be very unpleasant.

Yeah, end Zen fire pit... commence gurgling spitting oil slick. Tho' ain't wood burning fires Zen in and of themselves? Just sayin'....

I can't seem to find the burners you use at any local place. Is there something similar that is locally sourced that will work? Does the burner have to be round?

You won't find the parts locally. After a lot of people asked me where to get them I decided to offer a kit of the basic parts you will need.

Those are some awesome ideas on this last page. And like jeff-o, I think the spiral is really cool. The tall square one is neat, but I'd have idiots putting their cigarette butts in it during the day : )

Nice, dude!
I'm inspired.

Oh, that spiral of fire is gorgeous!  I was planning on building a fire pit in my backyard this year, but this is so much cooler...
