It’s getting mighty chilly here in New England so we’re warming up to the idea of these DIY fire pits that combine easy-to-find materials with easy-to-build designs.

We’re talking fire pits that will take the chill out of the air and throw off warmth while also becoming special outdoor focal points for chilling out on chilly days and nights.

1. A repurposed washing machine drum is the perfect size and shape for creating the contemporary style DIY recycled fire pit, above.  Find instructions at House & Fig.
