16th June challenge PETRIFIES puzzle

FIREPIT – often written as fire pit but I notice you can buy firepits from Bunnings…
The greenest watt ever produced is the one you never use. Playing as jk1956 & John is my name.
When we come out of the Covid-19 crisis, we need to make sure recovery efforts address the Climate Crisis (which can't be solved using social distancing!)

Firepit is given as a single word in a number of dictionaries, including the online Merriam-Webster, which defines it thus:

Quote
a pit dug into the ground or encased in a surrounding structure (as of masonry or steel) in which a fire is kept burning for cooking, warmth, etc.

That dictionary also gives some usage examples. I'll add firepit as a rare word.

It would have been the pits, Les, if it had been otherwise...  ;)
