Fire pits

[Tin Diesel]

I would NEVER have an open fire on a boat. There may not be gas fumes but I'll bet there's alcohol!

But if I did have an open fire, I would put sand bags in the front benches to level the boat! Heck, I might be able to use the sand to put out the fire!

We wanted to solve both problems, unlevel boat (inside forum joke), and having a safe fire, so we took out one of the bow seats and built a brick fireplace in its place.

This is a fun thread. Just imagine what a USCG patrol, game warden, or police officer on the water would think if they stopped a boat with an intentional open fire and sandbags.

On a side note, my wife mentioned getting a fire pit for our yard but I'm too nervous an ember will land on the boat cover!
