Materials

  • Galvanized wire mesh roll (2 ft high × 8 ft long, 1-inch grid)
  • 200–250 mixed-size rocks (3–5 inches each)
  • 1 steel fire ring (20–24 inches diameter)
  • 1 round hanging grill grate (20 inches) with chains and hooks
  • 3 metal support rods (4 ft tall)
  • Pliers, wire cutters, and gloves

Instructions

  • Roll the wire mesh into a cylinder about 2.5 feet wide and secure the ends tightly with wire. Reinforce the shape with 3–4 vertical support rods evenly spaced inside.
  • Line the bottom with a layer of large stones for stability, then continue filling the sides with smaller rocks, leaving the center open for the fire.
  • Place a steel fire ring or metal bowl in the middle to contain the fire and protect the mesh from direct heat.
  • Set up the hanging grill above the pit using a tripod or suspended frame. Then attach the chains evenly to ensure balance and adjust the height for cooking control.
  • Light a small fire inside the ring and allow the heat to distribute through the stones before grilling.
