Don’t get me wrong,but you are sure you want your kids with faces on the internet?

Otherwise fire ring and 20mm of rains sometimes aren’t enough. (Ask me how I know… )

Holy shit dude have you ever heard of a fire ring? This is how forest fires happen. Please clear the grass away next time. The flames don’t need direct contact to ignight

For the naysayers:

• We have just had ~20mm of rain for each of the last 2 days
• The ‘forest’? in the background is 2 trees and and a rose budh, then the berm and road
• there is a hose (turned on) only 3m away
• the fire was fully quenched before coming inside

That brush and grass so close to the fire pit is a hazard!

This is almost exactly how my neighbor burned down a big chunk of the forest behind my house last year

The trick-or-treat was over, and the girls came back for toasted marshmallows and camping in the paddock behind the house while I had a quite homebrew

I know I’m being a negative nancy but please don’t post your kids on the internet :-/

Which one will You be sacrificing?

Are the kids already in there?

That’ll be core memories. But yes lower grass would probably be nicer. A few houses do the firepit in the frontyard with neighbors. Looks nice but people take that ( understandably) as an invitation to stop n stare which i dont like.
