I had one like that, and it was always full of rain water. It was like a mini frog pond. I too didn't want a mess under it. I ended up cutting a hole in the center, and made a cover/plug for the hole. Kept the ash/coals from falling out while burning, and after a fire I would clean it out so the rain water could cleanly drain. Worked great.
BTW....yours looks great!

Nice..
one observation I have from mine. If you put expanded metal (even the thick stuff) it WILL warp from the heat. Weld some round stock across it
I also know if you have semi damp wood and stack it under the pit to "dry" it will eventually catch fire
But...both events may or may not have happened with generous amounts of whasky and 6-8 hours of fire time.[emoji16]
