Chimineas are lame -- get these

There's nothing like a crackling, man-made fire in the Midwestern Fall, unless the man who made it is named Bull, in which case there's just nothing left of your house. Get the warming Fall flames without fear of a Backdraft, with Higley Fire Pits.

Designed and fabricated right here (in Minneapolis that is, not on your computer), Higley's frill-less, mild or stainless steel flame rigs run from full-on raised fire pits, to more basic fire rings, so expect the ghost of Johnny Cash to be down, down, down with your yard's new addition. The mainly 7-gauge steel pits (round, square, or hexagonal) come in a variety of heights and widths, and feature open bottoms for use either on top of or buried in the ground, or full bottoms that have optional legs so they can work free-standing, also a new, way more boring version of free running. Until someone pulls off a One Leg!! They've also got a handful of cooking attachments, like grates affixed to a vertical pipe for adjusting height and alignment, and a full-on grill stand with two cooking grates, adjustable pot holders, and even a battery-powered rotisserie, not to be confused with a fantasy baseball team lead by Albert Pujols -- dude's a machine!

And because why not, Higley also makes trikes for kids and adults, as well as snowmobile ski-to-wheel conversion kits, letting you outfit your ride with what Bull would surely call man's second greatest invention.
