I have this same problem with clay pots. It's typically due to the expansion of moisture when left outside over the winter months. If you get another, try bringing it inside or putting it in your garage (I know, kind of defeats the purpose )

wow...

$350 for a fire pit??



Out here, we just use the drum from an old washing machine.

Already ventilated and aerated...burns great.
