I really like your fire ring. got a story on it, homemade? store bought? got a link? highdesertranger

I had it made for me by a blacksmith friend. Another friend saw it and had him make her one. He said it was a royal PIA to do, and he'd never make another. He won't; his arm got messed up and he's hung up his hammer. But another smith might.
Mine has 3 legs and 4 flanges that turn in above the fire ring to support a standard round grill grate, which is the size it is. And a horseshoe handle.

When I worked at the Sahara Tahoe casino in the 70's I had an employee who spent the winter living in a teepee. Was a very comfortable home, but does take some adjusting to. I had an 18 ft. and used it often. Sold it at the Pacific Primitive Rendevoux in Oregon in 2009.

Do you have a website for the rendezvous? It sounds very interesting.

I boil coffee. But it's in a filter. No grounds.

Most rendezvous do have websites. Google reenactment fur trade rendezvous black powder, stuff like that.
Put your state in the search terms, too.
