Mine is a simple damaged rim, that a trucker friend of mine gave to me. Note the remnant of a bow that didn't make it.
We had made one of stones, that were gathered around our property. It turned out to be dangerous, as some of the rocks literally exploded, sending hot fragments everywhere. I have no idea what kind of stones they were, but they were of a charcoal color, with no cortex on them.

Wish I had a picture of it, but, one of the best ideas I saw was a swivelling iron grate. Just a pit fire area, but they had built a large grate cooking surface - circular in shape about 1.5-2 foot radius that basically swivelled on a pole. The thing was a champion. They had a little spring fed trout pond about 20 yards from the firepit. Good stuff.

In one of those links up there with instructions on making a fire pit, pay close attention if you are building one with stones. If you're making a circle with stones, you are going to have to put fire brick down on the inside. That will shield the purty rocks on the outside enough so that they don't get too hot and explode.
Grunt:
I use a keyhole shaped fire pit when cooking. The round part is built down wind of the trench. Boil with the flames in the round part and rake the coals into the trench to cook with. Simple and timeless.
