Handle
A handle for lifting a firepit having an opening to a cavity defined between a first surface and a second surface with the first surface having a securement feature comprises a frame configured to span a cavity of the firepit, the frame having a grasp region shaped to be substantially horizontal when the handle is used to lift the firepit, a first support brace on the frame having a projection tab configured to selectively engage the securement feature of the first surface of the firepit, the first support brace being spaced a first distance from the grasp region, and a second support brace on the frame configured to selectively abut against the second surface of the firepit, the second support brace being devoid of a projection tab, the second support brace being spaced a second distance from the grasp region, the second distance being greater than the first distance.

Dual-fuel fireplace apparatus
A dual-fuel fireplace apparatus is described. In one example, an apparatus includes an enclosure having a door disposed thereon and a wood burning compartment disposed within the enclosure. The wood burning compartment has an insulated housing configured to support temperatures associated with burning of wood within the wood burning compartment. A gas burning compartment is also disposed within the enclosure and has a gas burner disposed therein. A mechanism including a motor is configured to cause movement between a first mode in which the wood burning compartment is viewable through the door and a second mode in which the gas burning compartment is viewable through the door.

Outdoor fire pit and post holder
A fire pit includes a main body having a double outer wall that defines an air inlet. An accessory support post is received by the main body within the double outer wall. A locking projection and locking flange cooperate to lock the vertical and rotational position of the support post with respect to the main body of the fire pit. A floating fire box is supported from above by a grilling flange that allows the fire box to move down when heated. The accessory post can be used with a post holder next to a camp fire. The post holder and accessory post use of the locking projection and locking flange to secure the accessory post with respect to the holder. A grill having an outer body member protects the user's finger from engaging sharp edges of an expanded metal grill.
Modified Burn Barrel Assembly
A modified burn barrel assembly for collecting and subsequently disposing of ashes from a burn barrel includes a burn barrel that is comprised of a fire resistant material thereby facilitating the burn barrel to contain burning fuel. The burn barrel has a bottom end that is open thereby facilitating ash to fall through the bottom end. A stand is positionable on a horizontal support surface and a plurality of support brackets is strategically arranged on the stand to facilitate the burn barrel to be stood upon the plurality of support brackets. A drawer is slidably disposed in the stand and the drawer is positionable in a closed position thereby facilitating ash from the burn barrel to be collected in the drawer. The drawer is positionable in an opened position thereby facilitating the ash to be emptied from the drawer.
OUTDOOR FIRE PIT AND POST HOLDER
A fire pit includes a main body having a double outer wall that defines an air inlet. An accessory support post is received by the main body within the double outer wall. A locking projection and locking flange cooperate to lock the vertical and rotational position of the support post with respect to the main body of the fire pit. A floating fire box is supported from above by a grilling flange that allows the fire box to move down when heated. The accessory post can be used with a post holder next to a camp fire. The post holder and accessory post use of the locking projection and locking flange to secure the accessory post with respect to the holder. A grill having an outer body member protects the user's finger from engaging sharp edges of an expanded metal grill.
Modular brick or block outdoor structures
A modular brick or block outdoor structure includes an outdoor structure that is constructed in modular sections. Each modular section is fabricated from a plurality of paving bricks or retaining wall blocks that match the brick or block used to construct the patio. The bricks or blocks are preferably assembled to each other with adhesive. Each modular section includes means for transporting thereof with some type of equipment, if necessary. It is preferable that each modular section include channels to receive lifting forks of an end loader or other suitable transport device, if necessary. However, other methods of transporting the modular section may also be used.

Non-gas fire pit
A fire an inner chamber wall circumscribing and defining an inner chamber. A plurality of primary air apertures defined through the inner chamber wall at a first, lower level and a plurality of secondary air apertures defined through the inner chamber wall at a second, upper level. A fuel grate is supported within the inner chamber at a level between the lower level and the upper level. Solid fuel supported by the fuel grate, when combusted, is provided primary combustion air from below the fuel grate by the primary air apertures and provided secondary combustion air from above the solid fuel by the secondary air apertures, the secondary combustion air promoting combustion of unburned gasified combustibles rising within the inner chamber.
