Prometheus may have given us fire, but Karen Bertelson shows us a great way to harness and display this amazing gift. She has devised a do-it-yourself project for creating a portable fire pit.
Although this may sound dangerous and complex, Karen Bertelson has put together a relatively simple set of instructions. All you need is a "cheap metal planter, panes of glass from inexpensive diploma holders, a canister of gel fuel, rocks, metal mesh, and silicone for a total cost of $25," according to Core 77.
