Rather than introducing other tags, would it be better > to just better define and document what firepit should be used for? > the problem with this is, that even with very good definitions, as long as they contradict the literal meaning of the word, it will not work well and will come back sooner or later to this list here ;-) Calling something that is actually raised above ground a "pit" will probably not be liked by anybody understanding the word "pit" Maybe it could still work, e.g. the picture above was found searching for "Feuergrube" (literally translation for fire pit) and somehow could be called a "pit" even if the whole structure is raised above ground, as the inside (where you make the fire) is lower than the external wall. cheers, Martin
