Although I am aware, I could never complete this magnificent design in a million years. I continue to watch, hopeful that I will be able to do so in the future. You make it look so easy; I will try to make it in summer.

Home Depot sells steel fire rings this size for $150, and they last for years. Total install time averages about 30 seconds

Why no mortar in between the firebrick courses?

@Bullylover-tm7gn Ай бұрын

Can you use a concrete block on inside and normal face brick on outside???

What kind of gravel do you recommend for the bottom?

@MrDIYCraigPhillips Жыл бұрын

Just pea gravel or rubble is fine

It's called refractory mortar.

Why don’t you add mortar to the second and third Course of the firebrick? Just curious.

Dumb question. What is the inner and outer diameter?

@stun9771 3 жыл бұрын

Where did you get, and how much did the fire bricks cost…?? They are far too expensive for most folk…use ordinary bricks and get some fire cement and put a 25mm render over those bricks…works fine…just need to let dry out slowly, then have a small fire to properly dry out the fire cement….👍🏻

@MrandMrsDIY 3 жыл бұрын

The bricks are from Forterra and will cost more than a standard brick but will last longer without the need to render the inner sides, if you do use standard bricks make sure there engineer bricks what we used on the outer skin

@epiphgd4302 Жыл бұрын

Ordinary bricks can explode because they take in too much water. Engineered bricks like Craig said are designed to not absorb and retain water.
