Abstract: A cooking plate is mountable to and removable from a fire pit. The cooking plate includes support tabs that position the cooking plate above the upper rim of the fire pit to provide even heating to the cooking plate while securing it in place with respect to the fire pit. The cooking plate can be placed on the fire pit after the fire has been started and removed while the fire is burning. The cooking plate has support tabs that each has an angled surface to allow the cooking plate to be leveled with respect to the fire pit. The cooking plate is ring-shaped and provides a central opening for the flame of the fire pit. The cooking plate defines an indentation that accommodates an accessory post of the fire pit.

Abstract: A conversion ring for a portable fire pit allows the portable fire pit to be used within a block fire pit ring. If desired, the owner can remove the fire pit from the conversion ring and the block ring and use it in different locations. The conversion ring and the fire pit can lock together to limit rotational movement after installation. The conversion ring includes locking fingers that cooperate with elements of the fire pit. In one configuration, the locking fingers of the conversion ring cooperate with the legs of the fire pit when the fire pit is installed through the conversion ring.

Abstract: 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.
