I believe it is a BBQ pit. The kid's welding looks good, and he has some imagination creating the cops & robbers.

why is it called a pit,,Im an ozzie and have no idea.....

The BBQ Pit is amazing. Is there a thread detailing its construction, or maybe post a few more pics with some details. Thanks.

[zapster]

Stuff looks great!
You must be happy!

...zap!

Those look really good. I especially like the smoker. The chain and horse shoes is a great idea for the handles.

Started out as a fire pit millions of years ago. Pit =hole in the ground for fire and cooking. When we moved it out of the ground and onto a trailer we just forgot to drop "pit" part.

ok the results are in at the youth fair.my daughter won 1st place on the arch and she won 2nd on the cop and robber,my son didnt even place with his bbq smoker my heart droped we spent 8 months on that thing the judges said there was some design problems guess we should have had the judge here when we cooked on it cuz it cooked awsome,my son is very very upset well heck so am i,no one could believe he didnt place,he did place 3rd on a cross he built but i didnt have a pic when i posted the thread,thanks for the comments

The pit looks more complicated to build than those other things. Tell those judges they have no idea what they're talking about.

[migman]

thats bull s$#t that is an awsome bbq pit, the judge must have been jelous

[jptech]

the judges said there was some design problems

Did the judges say what the "design problems" were?? Didn't look to be any that I could see!! I agree---- jealousy!! Very nice job on all of their projects!!----john

[littlefuzz]

All projects look great! Congrats to the daughter on placing. The pit should've placed too Those judges must be idiots. I say we give him the WeldingWeb Viewers Choice Award

Yogie, go back and look at some old threads about smokers/pits etc. These things those guys over there build are bizarre. BBQs over here are just a piece of plate or grill over a heat source. Next time I'm in the States I'm going to find someone with one of these things and talk them into having a cook-up so I can see how they work - I'll bring the beer.

[paintman]

[redfish_joe]
