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.

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.

( new update 6/16/23) still looking good. Ashes get scooped out every 6 months. Compost or refill. 26-27 inch inside diameter (not a circle). Up side down, down side up each way gives you a different look ( we prefer the not normal look its a badge at the StatUpBox team 😂😂) Firepit in action here is a picture (5/16/20) instagram.com/p/B8usAaGHwaD/?igshid=a1hhs0hvgw5s and here is a video (2/18/20) instagram.com/p/B8uqC0sn-1T/?igshid=1rstgbrfgf7oq

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.
