<human>:  What is the best way to make a fire pit?
<bot>: The best way to make a fire pit is to clear a circular area that is at least three feet in diameter and dig a shallow hole. Line the bottom of the hole with large stones and place logs or bricks around the edge of the perimeter to contain the fire. Then begin to build your fire in the pit. Start with tinder and small pieces of kindling and slowly add larger logs until the fire is the size you desire. When finished, add on top a metal grate or barbecue grill to place over the fire for cooking.
