Do you do airmiles? I got one through them a few years ago. It was the only thing from them I ever got that wasn't a piece of crap.
Have you tried the usual suspects? What about Lee Valley?

Take a look at stuff on clearance at Superstore, Canadian Tire, Home Depot etc.
Barbeques Galore has some nice stuff but its pricier.
Id also keep in mind that the city might revisit the firepit ban again in the near future (hopefully they dont but with guys like Pincott on council you never know)so you wouldnt want to spend a ton of money on a firepit and the setup around it to not be able to use it in a few years.
You could also get someone to build you one out of an old steel barrel or drum.

The best metal firepit I've ever seen was the drum out of a clothes dryer. It's cylindrical, perforated with small holes to let air in and exactly the right size.

A washer drum works great, too.
You can build legs onto these bad boys and, yes, they are awesome. I have one at our recreational property that includes a snuffer. They put out heat at just the right level and the holes get an epic bed of coals going.

I got mine at CT, and the great thing about CT is everything is on sale eventually if you can wait. I think I got mine last Oct, on sale, because I like to have fires, and watch HNIC on CBC(no cable needed) and have a couple of 6packs. Great way to spend a night outdoors.

How big?
We sell scrap wear liners as firepits to campgrounds, they absolutely love them. If you want one I can certainly hook you up, but they're about 600lbs and bigger.
The reason campgrounds love them is they're durable, they don't melt or break, and once you get a fire going in them they absolutely radiate the heat. We were selling them to a guy who would weld feet on the bottom, and put a spit across the top.
They look like this:

probably because people normally don't move them anywhere either, at 600 lbs.

You'd be surprised......I loaded one into an enclosed trailer a few years ago that was about 1500lbs. No idea how he got it out.
You can roll them on their side, but it leaves a pretty good trench through your lawn. Ask Kevin Lowe, he has one at his cabin in the Shuswap
