REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/673,987, filed Apr. 22, 2005, and incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention is related to fuel burning devices, and more particularly to a fuel-powered fire pit. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] There have been a number of backyard fireplaces known in the art, from large wood-burning units to small copper pots fueled by real wood or twenty (20) pound propane cylinders. It is also possible to fuel such devices with DURAFLAME logs or other synthetic self-contained fuel sources. Many of these fire pits are decorative in nature and feature copper bowls, stainless steel bowls, granite rings around such bowls, and other aesthetic enhancements. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The following presents a simplified summary of some embodiments of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some embodiments of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later. [0005] In accordance with an embodiment, a fire pit is provided that is fueled by a small, disposable propane cylinder. In an embodiment, the small, disposable cylinder is directly connected to the fire pit without a hose. [0006] In accordance with an embodiment, the fire pit includes a pilot light extending through media and having a fuel feed and an air feed. The fuel feed is provided by a conduit that leads to an electrode for the pilot light. The air feed is provided by a perforated cover that extends around the electrode. [0007] In an embodiment, a fire pit includes a manifold for permitting the attachment of multiple propane cylinders. The manifold may include, for example, multiple input attachments for multiple propane cylinders, allowing one or more propane cylinders to be attached to the manifold to provide fuel to the fire pit.
