 You can transform an old satelite dish into a nice backyard fire pit by doing this simple instructable. I hope you have fun and
success with this project, and that your hotdogs and marshmallows don't turn into smoldering black piles of gunk :)


                                                                                          Stuff You Need:
                                                                               Enough stone blocks(all the same size) to make a square that's 2-2 1/2 feet on each side
                                                                               Unwanted home satelite dish 
                                                                                
                                                 
                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                                       Note: all pictures came from the Internet

The Base

Take the stone blocks and make the previously mentioed square. The broadest sides should be facing the ground and the sky.

Dishular Preparation

Remove all parts of the antenna. Do the same to the stand.

Finish the Pit

Place the now standless and antennaless satelite dish on the stone square. The bump should be facing the ground, and the dip facing the sky. In short, it should look like a bowl. The stone square should support the sides of the satelite dish.

Note 1: It won't look like this picture, but I needed a picture, so I got it off the Internet
Note 2: Depending on where you are, it may be required by the law to have a lid for your fire pit.

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
