Ha right. It was about 600 quid for materials including the rotisserie on the BBQ which cost about 150 all told. Had to go to the scrap yard and buy a motor from an old Peugeout 306 car which is the only windscreen wiper moter that went all the way around and not from right to left. We attached it to some cogs from a bicycle to slow it down to the right speed so it would slowly roast a joint of Gammon without going around too quickly.
That probably cost the most apart from the block paving because we had to sort the electrics out to work to the correct ampage without burning out. It was probably more trouble than it was worth to be fair but we thought it would finish things off nicely and give it the wow factor. Will find some pics now.
I'm not one of these wishy-washy mods that can't make decisions.

They are not even illegal in the state rich lives in. In fact they have public bonfire pits in Campgaw and there are some houses in mahwah that have huge firepits in the yard
Private Bonfires are illegal in NJ. Those public bonfire pits that you are talking about are usually supervised by the local Fire Dept and are LARGE SCALE. In England(not sure if anyone still does it) you can burn yard waste and the like on your property without a permit...mainly because there aren't trees everywhere you look like here in NJ. Fire pits are a different thing because they are small and controlled.

Your beard counts as yard waste.
