A modular fire pit apparatus provides, in at least one embodiment, a tray portion, a plurality of wall panels, a plurality of panel edge locks, and a lid portion. The wall panels are selectively engagable about a perimeter of the tray portion in a substantially vertical orientation, while also able to be arranged in a substantially horizontal orientation and stacked within the tray portion. The panel edge locks are configured for removable engagement with adjacently positioned ones of the wall panels. The lid portion is capable of removable engagement with the tray portion when the wall panels are stacked therewithin, while being further configured for removable engagement with a top edge of the wall panels when the wall panels are engaged about the perimeter of the tray portion. A bottom surface of the tray portion provides a set of legs configured for being selectively extended. |

1. A modular fire pit apparatus comprising:
a tray portion; a plurality of wall panels selectively engagable about a perimeter of the tray portion in a substantially vertical orientation, the wall panels further configured for being selectively arranged in a substantially horizontal orientation and stacked within the tray portion; a plurality of panel edge locks configured for removable engagement with adjacently positioned ones of the wall panels for assisting opposing side edges of said adjacently positioned wall panels to remain in substantially abutting contact; a lid portion capable of removable engagement with the tray portion when the wall panels are stacked therewithin, the lid portion further configured for removable engagement with a top edge of the wall panels when the wall panels are engaged about the perimeter of the tray portion; and a bottom surface of the tray portion providing a set of legs configured for being selectively extended for elevating the tray portion a distance above the ground; whereby, the apparatus is capable of being selectively arranged into one of a self-contained, relatively compact stored state, wherein the lid portion is engaged with the tray portion and wall panels and panel edge locks are positioned therewithin, and a selectively configurable deployed state, wherein the legs are extended from the bottom surface of the tray portion, at least one of the wall panels is selectively engaged about the perimeter of the tray portion, and the lid portion is engagable with a top edge of the at least one wall panel, thereby forming a container for receiving burning materials therewithin. |
