With the arrival of Autumn, I am looking forward to some fires in our fire pit and — of course — some S’mores! I made a fire pit in an afternoon last year after we had 14 trees taken down (boo hoo!) Sadly, they were dying or diseased. But, I was able to turn a negative into a positive by using some of the stumps for seating and the spot where two trees used to be as my fire circle.
If you want the details about how I built (or rather dug) the fire pit, head over to Parentables to find out. I guarantee you don’t need any special skills to create your own!
Also, just a gentle reminder that TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!! You do want to meet a DIY Hunk don’t you? Or at least win an iPad2, right?
Well, be sure to enter your trade secret at the GMC Let’s Trade Secrets contest by October 25th.
You can enter one secret per category, which would give you three chances to win! I’ve already uploaded mine in Home Décor and Home Improvement. It was relatively easy, you just need to submit some photos or a video and a description of your trade secret.
Now, go forth and seek out a DIY Hunk!

I love this post. Any suggestions on finding cheap slate, or even scraps or remnants?
Kelly, actually I do! Try all of these sources: DiggersList.com, CraigsList.org and your local Habitat ReStore. Otherwise, check with your local stone supply company and see if they have leftovers or know of any landscapers that might have excess leftover from a job. Good luck!
Would you believe, I’ve never eaten a Smore! We don’t have them here in Australia!!!!
What??? No marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate in Australia? Unheard of! My thoughts are with you.
I love whipping off the fire pit cover for s’more time. Great DIY! Spread the s’more love.
