I looked at all the pits at Lowes,Depot and Wallyworld and all are complete junk considering the prices they want for them.

If you truly want a durable pit I recommend these you won't regret it:

Or a truck rim.

The deck is made of that composite material, or whatever you call it. I think they put stone under the pit with a fire blanket over them to act as a heat shield. We've had some real hot fires on there with no problems so far.

I hear you on the crap they have at the big stores - thin metal and absolute junk. Probably only a matter of time before the metal gives away on those junky ones.
