Hi all.

I'm looking to buy a Charcoal BBQ that doubles up as a fire pit. Seen this one in argos:

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=3151&productId=129504&clickfrom=image

Just wondering if anyone had any experience of them, and all feedback would be appreciated!

Hmmm I was looking at this one;

 be interesting to see if yours is sturdy enough- it doesn't actually describe itself as a fire pit though- just says it has a firebowl which all BBQ's have don't they? Probably I'm wrong.

I believe it is ok to use as a firepit. Suppose it could be fun to find out!

I had a BBQ made of the same metal and after being used as a firepit / bonfire things stated to melt. But it was good whilst it lasted.

Our's started to Buckle after a short time as well , i think the stainless metal is not thick enough for the heat , and after a time it just starts to  deteriorate .
