Build and use at your own risk! In addition, it is suggested that before constructing a fire pit, it is important to consult the local building code and your homeowner association to ensure compliance with any restrictions. Furthermore, it may be necessary to disclose the presence of a backyard fire pit to your homeowner's insurance policy. To understand if building a fire pit could potentially impact your coverage, it is advisable to reach out to your insurance agent for clarification.

If you want to be extra safe with your firepit then line the bottom rows with fire bricks! You can get fire bricks here: amzn.to/3rfE7TG The smaller the fire pit the fewer fire bricks you will need.

Really like the look of this. Be warned though that if you do this with standard brick and not true fire brick you could be asking for disaster. Standard concrete brick will basically explode if they get too hot. Anyone who has ever used a torch close to concrete will know what I am talking about. Just be aware. Google it.

@husbandhood Жыл бұрын

You are correct. Fire bricks are the best to use as they are the safest. The next up are old red clay bricks since they can withstand high temperatures. The ones I used are concrete bricks which are not porous. It seems that those are not the best to use for fear of exploding however i really make simple campfires and only the edges of the bricks are exposed. It would require high heat and constant exposure to present a threat. In my design the edges are touching the flames and thats about it. Not enough to be a risk.

@1980Baldeagle Жыл бұрын

The bricks don't "explode" I've been making fire pits, kilns and such for years. Bricks or blocks can Crack. Rocks can kind of explode....loud pop. If you use bricks or block be smart. If it's damp, small fire, gradually dry out and increase size. Let the moisture slowly come out. Also make the pit plenty big so the bricks aren't so close to the fire. Don't build crazy over sized fires in your pit.

@@Jamman610I used the concrete pavers from Lowes. The face is textured and the front is wider than the back. When a dozen are put down they make a perfect circle. Because of the taper from front to back. It's hard to explain but that's also not why I'm commenting. After about the first year all of the pavers started to crack in half and fell apart. I ended up scrapping that pit and I poured a concrete square pit and lined the center with fire brick and covered the outside with a veneer stone. The stone is thin sliced and you just stick it to the outside with mortar. It's lasted 6 years now and still looks great

I would humbly recommend that you put the grate in at a higher level so you don’t have so much direct flame. Even if you use a Dutch oven, a higher grate will allow for a larger fire when needed. Hope you love it!

Two VERY Important things to include!!! 1 st..............The Foundation MUST be Perfectly level, use crushed stone for at least a 2 inch thick base for setting the starter, first course of brick. The higher you stack bricks, the more Important that will become This is particularly important in Rainy and Freeze areas of the country. 2nd........ The first 2 courses need to have an Air Gap between ALL the bricks. That is how you Feed the Fire with Oxygen and get a far less Smokey fire.

I have one of these too. I copied a photo off of google, but I kept to the photo with 18 bricks to the ring. I was impressed with how well it performs as a fire ring, radiating the heat back off the tall wall. It also breathes really well with all the gaps letting the air get to the bottom of the fire. Toss in a few dried pine cones with some split pine and you can light it with a match... I actually use my propane torch from the workshop because, why not?

Masonry, my favorite. Very cool! We can't have fire pits where I live because the next town over has been burning underground since the fifties. You can Google that if you like. I'm thinking this would be great for flowers in my case. I have done so much masonry in the last six years repairing this old house. Working on a crawl space now. I did a staggered retaining wall with bricks and it fell because I cemented it and did not use pipe to secure it. The last time I staggered them and did not use mortar 'cause this way the freeze thaw cycle had a way to release the water. Still standing today and oh yeah, I get the perfectionist reference. Nice to meet you fellow perfectionist.
