Slip Rollers

Post by codonnell »

I am looking to start build firepits. I have been looking for a slip roller and wondered if anyone had some suggestions on one that may work to roll a firepit or cylinders. I would like something that isn't crazy expensive but I don't want to buy one that i'd have to upgrade in the near future.

Any suggestions.

Buy a used Niagra, Pexto, etc. older no problem, made in USA last forever and hold their resale value. Stay away from the Chinese knockoffs no matter how attractive they look. You will say for the price and I don't use it that much, how bad can they be. You will live to regret it.
And get one that is rated for heavier than you think you will need. I have a 36" that is rated for 16 gauge and it struggles with fire rings in 12 or 14 gauge that are only 14" long.
