There are several makers of commercial fire pits.
The round type that lookd like a big bowl with legs look good and are 16-18" off the ground. These have been used during fire restrictions and look good too. One that myself and other have used is made from an old washer machine tub. Useing the raised hole in the middle you can pound a peice of 2" pipe into the ground and set the tub on it. this keeps it of the ground. the holes in the tub look good and put out an even heat. I painted mine black with stove paint. I use a 3' peice of pipe with 12-16" in the ground.

At Fort Ticonderoga they just issue flat sheets of 1/4" steel about 3'X3'.

Goose Bay Workshops made me a copper bowl 18 inches wide with hand forged legs. Seems to work just fine, well built and gets lots of attention.
What we tend to get for restrictions out this direction is...No open flame. Period.
no briquets, no firebowls. That leaves us to using coleman stoves and propane cookers.
You all tried to do your dutch ovens on the coleman? doable but tough!
You can use provided fire rings in some state and federal owned camp grounds, but they tend to not allow the discharge of BP guns, so whats the point in even going?

With a bad back. Having already had two back surgeries , I made a brazier that sits on three metal poles and is raised up so I don't have to bend over to cook. Also I made my camp kitchen and ice box to sit up on stands. With out these "big three " I would have stoped camping long ago.
