[Sca-cooks] Looking for a Fire pit

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< Can anyone help me with where to get a good sized (Medieval or  
Renaissance
looking) firepit? >>>

See these files in the SCA-CAMPING section of the Florilegium:
firepits-msg      (18K) 10/ 9/08    Useful ideas for firepits.
DFofH-Firepit-art  (8K) 11/17/08    A firepit that sets up large and  
packs down
                                        small by Duke Frederick of  
Holland.

The second file includes the plans to make a not-very-difficult  
firepit which Duke Federick has made popular in the West Kingdom and  
elsewhere. If you don't wish to build it, I think there are also some  
references there to folks who have them available for sale.

"a small trailer". Does this mean you are following the usual  
progression I see in SCA vehicles? :-)

When folks start out in the SCA they often have a small, compact car.  
They then start playing and decide they need more carrying capacity,  
so they get a bigger car. This later moves to large car or mini-van  
or to a full-sized pickup truck or van. Somewhere along the line a  
trailer gets added. Sometimes the trailer itself gets bigger. (We  
will be looking for a 5x8 box trailer to tow behind our Honda  
minivan, to replace my low-slung box trailer once I find a job). I  
have seen this progress to small buses.  In Ansteorra, large horse  
trailers are now getting added to the mix.

See this file in the TRAVEL section:
SCA-transport-msg (26K)  1/24/08    Typical and unusual SCA vehicles and
                                        transportation.

I did wonder whether this push towards larger vehicles would be  
halted in the rising gas prices last summer, but gas is cheap again.
