Awesome! I was worried when you didn't have the larger level but you guys really rocked this. I cant wait to see when the entire job around the pit is all done.

Great job, it does my heart good to see young men doing good things, I'm trying to build a 6 ft wide fireplace and this helped me so much

Grt fire pit!! Now Its time to roast some Tandoori Chicken, Kalmi Chicken, Tandoori Kababs and some Naan and Rumaali Rotis!!! That's our usage of fire pit... In India.!! In this Video, Ashton is the Hero for saving and helping Ben!! I never knew how fire pit is built. I have seen how woodstove is made and used here in India. We still use at my grandma's, and being in tropical country we never build fire fits. We do for some other purposes.. like when we need to have outdoor cookings for weddings and engagement ceremonies or baptisms and first Communion day for kids or Christmas or new year day. We usually have outdoor roasting of chicken in the nights or making biryanis for 100 ppl or 200 ppl or other curryies. Just giving context.. But we never set up a permanent structur for those reasons. N what's American reason for fire pits!?? Is it to beat cold or is it to have a gathering and roast some thing!!?

THis is what I want mine to look like!!! Love this. Question - what do you do about water collecting in there? What was it you put on the bottom - looked like a round stepping stone or something. Thanks so much!

@gardenguychannel 2 жыл бұрын

Hey sorry for the late reply. We put gravel so that the water would drain plus a stepping stone. But you can just do gravel.

Maybe a dumb question, but why do you line the inside with the store-bought bricks instead of just using the field stones? Also, should you leave small holes/gaps near the bottom (and perhaps randomly elsewhere) to allow fresh air to flow in and circulate? I think it would also allow warm air to flow out, instead of it all just being forced up and out the top, keeping you warming as you sit around it. Great video though!

No that's a good question. Those bricks are fire brick. They can withstand the heat of the fire where the heat is more intense. Interesting idea on the air pockets. I'll have to consider that next time I build one!

Would it be possible for you to list and/or share links of all the products you use from start to finish? That’d be even more helpful! Thanks so much!

Hello. Well, I used field stone, mortar concrete mixed with masonry sand. I believe that’s all.

@gardenguychannel 2 жыл бұрын

Oh yes and fire bricks. The fire brick on the inside needs to have mortar that has fire clay in it. Often you can get that pre-mixed at most landscape suppliers.

Good job on this. What did you do to the base before you got started? Did you did some footer prior? Also, do you ever give some air vent at the base for air intake? Thank you!

I'm looking to build a small fire pit in my back yard. I'm thinking about just using small softball size rocks and morter. Are regular rocks good enough?

@gardenguychannel Жыл бұрын

Hi Gary. You can use smaller rocks it just requires more mortar and more time.

@@garybregel4606 That may be helpful. That way you can slip the rocks and mortar in. But I prefer the freestyle look myself. Makes it look more natural. Up to you though! You can do it Gary! Just take your time and be sure to get plenty of mortar between the stones. Don't want the popping out. God bless!

Are the fire bricks needed? If planning on building a large fire pit (4.5-5ft inner ø) w/ an 18” wall depth. The pit isn’t going to be crowded w/ wood due to the inner ø being so large. Also, I don’t like the fire brick look.

@gardenguychannel Жыл бұрын

Fire brick isn't 100 percent necessary. It'll just slow the breakdown of the stones.
