@web_goddess@aus.social Those fire pits look like they are a couple of millimeters thick, so you'll likely need a stronger drill bit made of cobalt. I'd go with a 4-6mm bit, to effectively drain but minimise size of hole. This looks reasonable: https://www.bunnings.com.au/full-boar-5-5mm-m35-cobalt-drill-bit_p0331109 However you make the hole, make sure you're wearing long sleeves and eye protection — metal splinters are painful and harmful.

@web_goddess@aus.social These things usually sit on three supports or in a ring, like a wok, but are not fixed in place. Simplest solution might be to just turn it over when it's not in use. Not a useful suggestion if it's a big one, they can weigh a lot. Alternatively, get a cover plate? Personally I don't like drilling holes in things that didn't come with holes :-) Depending on the surface below it, letting hot ash out the bottom may not be a good thing either.
