Sometimes when you are thinking harder go back to the simple things the
way they were, they still work. Fumes do not settle in the pit anymore
than they settle in your garage, air is flowing in and out all day and
night, there is no door on it, its not completely enclosed. It is easy to
think of a lot of ways some things do not work but why not think of how
things can work. Just think of all the gas in your two or three cars in
your garage with that smoke in your hand, with all the chemicals on the
shelf and the lawn mower & trimmer. There is nothing danderous about a
pit, just some people always think negative. Guns don't kill
people=people kill=people, don't guess I'll see you in the pits !!
