I built this fire pit last week. I used the red retaining wall stones and which was 2.18 each at Lowe's. Total for three layers was about $86. From checking out at Lowe's to finishing up and ready to start the first fire took me exactly three hours with no help. It was easy, but it was also a good workout.

Built mine last 2 days. Looks awesome! Thanks so much for the advice! I would recommend digging out about 3-6 inches outside of the circle. It's easier to set the stones farther out, get the ground level, and eek the stones in a bit at a time. Then use the removed soil to backfill the outside of the ring.

Thanks so much man. I’ve been putting this project off for about a year now. My last steel fire pit rusted out. Me, my wife, and my 4 yr old son did this today. Had little difference. We used 11 stone for each level, and had to use 2 bags of sand and lava rocks. We did 4 layers, so a total of 44 stone. With 2022 inflation it was $2.58 a stone, and 2 bags of sand, pea gravel, and 2 bags of lava rocks (around $6 each bag). Came out to a total of $135. We had a great time, and I was glad the whole family could be apart of it. Thanks again man. You’re the real MVP.

Needs better ventilation to allow more oxygen (fuel) in. Depending on the height you build, I'd remove one block from the middle or bottom level and space those out evenly. Otherwise it's more likely to choke the fire out.

We made this yesterday and it turned out awesome. We actually started off instructing our two young adult sons, about half way through we turned it over to them while we reclined in the house. Only thing they did wrong was decided they wanted to do 11 stones per row, not the agreed upon 10 so we had to send them back to the store for 6 more stones. We are very pleased with the end results. Great directions

Made this today. Thought I was being smart and decided to build on our overgrown concrete slab. It ended up being harder than if on grass. I had to remove a 2.5 ft high anthill and a lot of overgrowth. 😲But once I did that it went smooth like you shown. My stones are rough cut unlike yours so didn't meet seamlessly like yours, but still looks good and will do the job! My granddaughter will be roasting marshmallows tonite!! Thanks for the fun and informative video. Made it look easy.
