Personally, I wish more serial KZfaqrs did follow ups on their projects. Everyone wants to build new and big, I’d like to see how their old projects hold up after a year or five, and what they’d do different if they were to build it again. I believe that’s a sign of a good builder, a project that lasts and someone who admits and learns from their mistakes.

I saw a video recently by Foureyes Furniture and he showed a closet with a bunch of their old projects in it😂 they looked like they were holding up well, I just thought it was funny to think about these elegant pieces of furniture worth at least $1000+ just collecting dust in a closet

Good point. I can understand why it's not done if the item has held up well and there's nothing to show. It's potentially boring content. But on the other hand it's valuable to know.

You might try one of the many concrete sealers to prevent weather degradation on the fire pit. Coating it once a year seals it from rain etc. It will darken the concrete in most cases. Great builds and thanks for the follow up on this one.

I am a machinist and started my first machine shop company in the early '90s. It is amazing how many potential customers that KNOW NOTHING about machining in any way tell me exactly how to do the work and how easy it will be. Here is a quote I like. Never worry about criticism from any person that you would not go to for advice. Truth. (Burn the forms out next time. The heat will help dry, and crack/explode, your new fire pit.)

From a civil engineers perspective it was good. The from it’s self was built very well, the concrete could’ve been lighter tougher so the ‘C’ could’ve been higher for example c65 would’ve been better than the c40 you used or what I believe is c40. You did all the steps for the concrete very well, the extra rocks was a great idea and is something that is often done. The fire bricks probably did help so it was good uou thought of most things. Again like you said extra air vents would’ve been better but other than that great job. I look forward to seeing the next video

that video is why I subbed lol; it's like some of the commenters just assumed you were going to use it as a furnace / smeltery; the funniest part is the use of the river rocks internally likely gave the concrete a natural heat sink / exchanger that would help prevent it from exploding.

I built an outdoor firepit similar to yours, just MUCH bigger, 15 years ago. It has an inner diameter of 10 feet. The idea was that people could sit on the outer concrete wall and build a bonfire in the center and the fire would keep them warm. If they got too hot, they could always rotate their lower body out of the wall. Like you, I put river rock and rebar in the middle of the forms to save on concrete. Obviously my pit won't get as hot unless we build a huge bonfire, so I wasn't remotely worried about the concrete exploding. 15 years and several huge bonfires later, my pit still looks really nice. I never doubted your skills when I watched the original build video. Glad to see it worked out.

Gotta love armchair experts. And I'll admit I fall into it sometimes myself. Mostly when I see people soldering. I went to school for it, and did it for years in the military. The way some of these people are "teaching" people how to solder is worse than "fingernails on a blackboard" for me. BUT, I at least have a clue what I'm talking about in cases like that. Any other instance, before I post a question or make a comment, I actually watch the vid a couple times to ensure I am not missing something. Then, when I DO post the comment, I am at least am posting a question that is valid. If it seems snarky, that's just me trying to not take life too seriously.

I was thinking the same as other viewers to add more holes for a rocket-stove effect. You could also have the many holes enter the burn chamber at an angle (clockwise or counter-clockwise) to try to make it smokeless as well as burn in a spiraling vortex. Also elevating the fuel on a grate will help more air enter around more wood's surface area, and maybe help keep the vents from being clogged up too quickly with ash. I like it! I probably wouldn't make a permanent one but the build and texturing is really cool!
