You have to run a pipe to supply oxygen to the very bottom of the fire, and to make it truly smokeless you’d need a small blower. The only way to get rid of smoke is to make the fire hotter, and air is usually the variable that controls how hot it gets (assuming your wood is dry). If there’s not much of a breeze in your yard, you could also put a small blower in front of one of the opening you made in the bottom.

I think everyone that builds their own fire pit always makes this mistake the first time. Everyone building a fire tends to make this mistake too. You don't just pile up wood and light it on fire, you need to kind of stagger the logs or build that iconic teepee like structure that you associate with the boyscouts. Fires are all about the airflow.

Now you need to build an elevated platform to hangout and see those mountains.

The ascension of the drone to capture the view of the mountains was not something I thought I needed today.

I had a Fiero ! Back in 92. 👍👍😉

If you take away a row or even two to the fire pit, it will feel more like a camp fire, you will actually get to see the fire and coles. You will get to enjoy more of the heat from the fire, and get less smoke because it will receive more oxygen which creates a hotter fire which results in less smoke. 😁. Love your channel, just found it tonight.

New subscriber! Here from the fire pit video. Subscribed for your humility in admitting when things could be better, and entertaining others’ ideas on how to do so. Very open minded of you. Don’t be afraid to start a Patreon to fund more builds.

I really appreciate the high quality video and audio in these

I thought you were kidding about the Fiero. Then there it was!

I wasn't expecting a Fiero to look THAT nice. Seriously, it's gorgeous.

With all the Home Improvements I have been doing - you guys are my new NetFlix! Loving your videos!

Loved the upside view of the mountains. Oh my! God is so good!! We just don't even know!!! Great job!!

I got Nothing but respect for bro🏌🏽‍♂️

The part of the drone showing the mountains deam that was beautiful dude

Sir addicted to your videos

I would give my right Hand to live there. Beautiful landscape.

You need to drill 1 and half inch holes all the way around the top diameter of the metal ring insert like on a Solo fire ring

Just two bro’s chillin by a bro fire

I'm glad I found this channel. I love supporting everything Bert Kreischer does.

Cut out holes in the top third of your metal ring that sits inside. This way, the gaps in the lowest layer of bricks brings air in, the air travels upwards towards the holes in a gap between the metal ring and bricks, goes inward through the holes and uniformly attacks the smoke in the middle. The warmth from the fire contributes to this draft and should dramatically reduce smoke. Good luck! Edit: Here's a great link that explains the same idea from HAXMAN. He went the route of also making his own top concrete slabs, but I think you guys are good on those! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9-aq86d3snKemg.html

"Crust, oil, flour..." yep that's a recipe for pizza alright.

This guy is the type of person to build something just for fun

Oh man, a pizza oven at your backyard sounds so dope!

This was so amazing! My best friend and I will be building this for my Mother in law!

I have to tell you that I was thinking about the holes during your first build - the airflow is a must, I am happy you figured it out and repaired it so easily :)

2:06 damn... that looks amazingly beautiful

drill holes around on the top of edge of the metal ring. will allow more airflow and lead to a cleaner burn

You also have to consider weather conditions. Atmospheric pressure and wind greatly affect the fire. It appears to be a relatively calm day and, with that sunshine, you are likely in a high pressure system. The woodstove at my family farm always had trouble burning cleanly under those conditions.

I am a big JDM fan but I can't help but love the fiero... Such a cool car. Looks great wasn't expecting that extra little treat!

Honestly, stumbled across this channel because of the fire pit. It got me excited because I getting to that point in life where I’m about to get a job and get a house and I’m excited to do projects like this and hang out with my bros. I love the vibe of this channel! I can’t wait for more builds and project videos!

Your yard has so much land. I love that. Also I think you should build a beautiful space for your wife. Like a sitting area with flowers etc

This channel has the potential to reach million of viewers / subs real quick! Kudos

I don't see many people mentioning using wood that is quite dry ... The moisture content will determine how smokey it will burn. This is why you see stacks of wood left outside during the year, to give the wood time to dry out enough. The best moisture percentage is between 10 and 20%. There are meters you can buy for that. Good air flow helps, but it's not the cure-all.

You guys really brighten my day. Or to coin a phrase, like the earth turning, you make my day!

On your way to fame fellow brothers with such a short amount of videos you have completely inspired me to get handsy I hope that one day you both will make it to the top! Good Work

When I saw those mountains I was like, Brooooo! Looking good guys. Great work. 😎

I enjoyed the 1st one and then saw this. Awesome. I am thinking of building one like this.

Oh boy gee wilickers fellas I’m so excited your gonna make more videos. That’s swell

Keep up the good work!

Here's to more bro builds For the ladies🥂 For the bros🍻

If you drill 1/2" holes about 2" apart and about 2" down from the top of the ring, you'll get added airflow into the top of the fire. That will ignite the smoke before it leaves the pit. I believe the ring sits about 3 - 4" above the bottom of the pit, eliminating the need for any pipe or blower. Just pull the bottom layer of blocks away from the ring until you have about a 1/2" gap between the blocks. No removal of blocks needed and you maintain the joints in the blocks as you stack them. It also needs to get very hot in order to work properly ( which it will). I did this in my pit a few days ago. Works great! VERY little smoke..

Love seeing the trial and error process as you guys go. So much better than pretending to be experts. It makes these projects feel more approachable I think :) subscribed!

Guys I really like this set up, it’s so cool & the yard is so beautiful made. Very nice

Great work 🧠

Why do I love this channel so much

I love the detail you put into your videos. Appreciate the work you do, looking forward to more yard project videos. 😃

There are many videos showing how to make a smokeless fire pit. Bro Builds, you should take the time to view them. You only have two things to do to get your fire pit smokeless. Drill holes in the metal ring and leave about an inch between the bricks and the metal fire ring.

Dude!!! with so much land you have you should be adding soooooo much more.. like an outdoor grill, koi pond, gazeboo,wall planters,canopy,small glass house garden. :D cant wait to watch :) thx!!!

install a liner that reaches to the bottom of the firepit that has holes drilled in it around the circumference of the top. Reassemble as in #2.

I love the idea of doing a fire pit similar to this. However I'm wanting the fire pit to be 6 ft wide. With 6 feet surrounding the firepit all the way around. As soon as there if the funds to do it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Best way to get less smoke is to use quality wood, that has been dried properly before hand

You bros are awesome! Keep it going!

Excellent work bros.

That Fiero is sick. I miss mine, should never have sold it.

Okay, glad you did this. I saw the original, my first thought was where is the air intake? Glad you got it figured out

You guys should cut bigger holes around the inside fire ring. I say at least 1 inch. Use the holes there already just join them together for one from two. You will eliminate most of the smoke along with what you have already done spacing the base bricks.👍🏼🖖🏼🇺🇸

If you put holes in the top of the fire ring inside that will allow the air to pull through other than that yous are on point great looking chill spot can't wait to see more.

Just watched the fire pit build video then came straight here. I’ve got a weirdly good feeling about this channel. Excited to see more videos

Fiero looks great

This is 1 of my new favorite channels I have discovered

Loved that fiero came out in late 80’s. Nice car.

"If you guys thought we didn't know what we were doing in the last video....oh man, just wait"! Love it guys!

I guarentee that this channel is going to be big. Concept and content 👌👌

You need to create a chamber for the air coming in from the bottom to travel to the top holes. Your fire ring needs to go all the way to the ground

That's crazy I just saw the other video yesterday 😂

Puncture holes in the ring and create a 1 inch gap between the ring and the bricks with the off set of gaps in bricks to create a 100% smokeless reaction to amaze yourself

So glad I found this channel just as I moved into a home with an actual yard.

Great job guys, I'm jealous! You just have to look at a rocket stove! Fire needs a complete combustion to being smoke-free. you need pipes which are giving pre-heated air, and tadaaam! Smokeless fire is here!

Thanx for the bro tips

Patio still needs another 12"-18" of radius. Looks great though!

Making my own backyard reno and doing tons of browsing on youtube when I get into your channel. I have finished my planter boxes and herb garden now moving into fire pit. Love the way you do things and make changes as it goes. New subscriber here!

Hallo from Brazil! The bonfire was incredible, congrats. 🤜🤛👍

Love from India 💖

You guys just got our attention so much and we liked the videos + your energy ! I am reserving my place as first and big fan of this channel ! Don't forget us , the first supporters when it is over millions ! :)

You guys are so humble i love it.

Dude! I love the firepit, Only issue I have is that my wife has been watching and now she has sooo many great ideas, lol. And yeah, the Fiero's stance looks great too.

I am wondering how in the world is this channel not at 2 million subs yet?! Enjoying the channel guys. Definitely going to implement some of your ideas when our house is finished. Can't wait to show our experience on our channel.

Try flipping the grate over too, cool stuff anyway

Super cool work guys! Loved the paver patio build too.

Just found your channel today and binged all the videos. Keep them coming!

This channel will go big. Keep it up bros! Love from Australia

DUDE the Pontiac Fiero looks AMAZING!

You guys are geniuses

Just subscribed yesterday. Gentlemen with the hat is incredibly easy on the eyes! Love the vids.

Hey guys, what might help is a sheet metal cone above the fire which will act as a chimney to "draw" air into the fire. What you need is air flow, and the rising exhaust gases will provide the suction required via the heated chimney. Downside is you might chew through wood faster.

This is great. I literally just left a comment on your other video commenting on the lack of air flow. Glad you beat me to it! 😃

Wow you did incredible

I’m excited to see what you guys do, looking forward to next video

I saw another youtuber ( Haxman ) make one. His ring went all the way down to the ground. It had bigger holes too. The cavity between the pavers and the ring was greater as well. That might probably help

The reason why there is less smoke with the holes at the bottom it’s because it provides more oxygen, therefore the fire will burn hotter making it essentially cleaner.

It depend on the wood. Dry wood less smoke. Hard and dry wood less smoky and soft wood like use in furniture with extra smoke.

you guys seems fun

Plan on building one this season. Nice work!

Smoke is unburnt fuel due to lack of oxidizer. One way to avoid that is to use drier wood, or even coal for that matter. OR built a way to "suck" air through the fire pit. Live a venturi tube. If those openings on the bottom had that venturi shape, air will rush in faster IMO.

Cool videos! Y’all aren’t annoying and you guys make great videos. Very glad I was recommended your channel! Fiery is so dope by the way

You need about a 1.5 inch gap between the pavers and the ring. Then you need air holes at the top of the ring. The air will come in at the bottom and into the top of the fire pit giving a better burn and less smoke.

I know nothing about this other than what I have watched on other channels. What I think I noticed was that between your metal insert, and the outside bricks, there should be an empty space of about an inch or two, which allows the cold air to rise between the metal liner and the brick. The bottom holes allow for more air at the bottom...then the the air that flows to the top holes becomes heated as it rises and is forced out of the top holes a little more to create that second burn that eats up the smoke. Also it works better when the fire gets really hot. Not as much when it first starts.

To fix it the ring needs to go all the way to the ground. but there has to be space between the ring and the brick. then drill holes in the top of the ring.

I think the extra smoke is the wood. If it had gotten wet, it smoke more. Keep up the good work.
