Disclaimer: It is highly suggested that for safety reason you should use fire safe bricks such as fire bricks, refractory bricks, or even red clay bricks that can withstand high heat. You can order fire bricks through Amazon through this affiliate link here: amzn.to/3JAuANs
Build and use at your own risk! In addition, it is suggested that before constructing a fire pit, it is important to consult the local building code and your homeowner association to ensure compliance with any restrictions. Furthermore, it may be necessary to disclose the presence of a backyard fire pit to your homeowner's insurance policy. To understand if building a fire pit could potentially impact your coverage, it is advisable to reach out to your insurance agent for clarification.

If you want to be extra safe with your firepit then line the bottom rows with fire bricks! You can get fire bricks here: amzn.to/3rfE7TG The smaller the fire pit the fewer fire bricks you will need.

[@JustinSmith-kz2kq]

Thank you!

[@DamonTrader]

I submit that this is the reason KZbin exists.Thanks,I'm building one today but with a grate after 1st layer to cook on.

[@husbandhood]

Sounds great! We used an oven grate the first time I made the firepit cause a regular BBQ grate was too small.

[@brocklanders6011]

How did it go, is it good to cook on

[@judywilson5183]

I would humbly recommend that you put the grate in at a higher level so you don’t have so much direct flame. Even if you use a Dutch oven, a higher grate will allow for a larger fire when needed. Hope you love it!

[@margenewman9543]

​@husbandhood where can I buy an oven grate?

[@stevenazzz]

same this is a bad ass looking design !!!

[@ckfab475]

Really like the look of this. Be warned though that if you do this with standard brick and not true fire brick you could be asking for disaster. Standard concrete brick will basically explode if they get too hot. Anyone who has ever used a torch close to concrete will know what I am talking about. Just be aware. Google it.

[@husbandhood]

You are correct. Fire bricks are the best to use as they are the safest. The next up are old red clay bricks since they can withstand high temperatures. The ones I used are concrete bricks which are not porous. It seems that those are not the best to use for fear of exploding however i really make simple campfires and only the edges of the bricks are exposed. It would require high heat and constant exposure to present a threat. In my design the edges are touching the flames and thats about it. Not enough to be a risk.

[@1980Baldeagle]

The bricks don't "explode" I've been making fire pits, kilns and such for years. Bricks or blocks can Crack. Rocks can kind of explode....loud pop. If you use bricks or block be smart. If it's damp, small fire, gradually dry out and increase size. Let the moisture slowly come out. Also make the pit plenty big so the bricks aren't so close to the fire. Don't build crazy over sized fires in your pit.

[@ckfab475]

@@Jamman610 Concrete including pavers are very porous and holds water. That's whatmakes them hazardous when high heats are exposed to them. It's the steam pressure trying to escape

[@ckfab475]

@@1980Baldeagle Problem is that most people will not be wise enough to know this. I still like the concept but just want people to be aware

[@fauxque5057]

​@@Jamman610I used the concrete pavers from Lowes. The face is textured and the front is wider than the back. When a dozen are put down they make a perfect circle. Because of the taper from front to back. It's hard to explain but that's also not why I'm commenting. After about the first year all of the pavers started to crack in half and fell apart. I ended up scrapping that pit and I poured a concrete square pit and lined the center with fire brick and covered the outside with a veneer stone. The stone is thin sliced and you just stick it to the outside with mortar. It's lasted 6 years now and still looks great

[@angie2017]

I took a shot every time he said no talking and that's the most beautiful pile of Bricks I've sever eeeen 🥴

[@Freedom-Fries]

When he said 'no talking' and then just kept talking...it was just like the scene in Caddyshack where Ty is telling Danny to be the ball and does the same exact thing. This is your "zone" man. Subscribed!

[@husbandhood]

Caddyshack! A classic!! Ah the good 'ol days

[@Kate98755]

i thought the same thing, he kept talking, which slowed him down

[@mariannpaton3480]

LOVE this! Thanks so much for sharing!!! I am a visual learner so it was very helpful to see it done in real time. Thank you!!

[@husbandhood]

you are welcome. I'm also a visual learner.

[@mrsynister666]

I use an old rim from an 18 wheeler surrounded by bricks. Has good airflow and steel grating in the center to hold wood. Works great.

[@mwdaniel]

[@shawnwoodman9420]

Love this video! So honest and perfectly imperfect! Nice fire pit brother!

[@funky-landscaper]

We’ll done, This is really cool! & bonus points for not having any leftover screws or washers ☝️

[@billconserva1461]

Two VERY Important things to include!!! 1 st..............The Foundation MUST be Perfectly level, use crushed stone for at least a 2 inch thick base for setting the starter, first course of brick. The higher you stack bricks, the more Important that will become This is particularly important in Rainy and Freeze areas of the country. 2nd........ The first 2 courses need to have an Air Gap between ALL the bricks. That is how you Feed the Fire with Oxygen and get a far less Smokey fire.

[@husbandhood]

Two great points! thank you

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Yes indeed... especially the 2nd - makes it function a bit like a rocket stove 🙂

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Bingo 👌

[@sascotttx5145]

You beat me to it. Too many times combustion air is an after thought.

[@tinatomassetti4507]

How do put the air gap on the first two rows? I love this fire pit, I want to build one.

[@jont.1895]

Just did this yesterday and it turned out great. I used regular small bricks so it was a bit fiddly but not hard. Great idea. Great video. Easy.

[@pamelalindahl8535]

Thank u sooo much! Just built one today with my leftover bricks. Looks awesome! We need to wait a bit to break it in cuz of fire restrictions right now. I live in Sweden btw. 🎉

[@Bassmaster1256]

I've had a fire pit like this for 5 years now.

[@dangerdoberman]

That's a fire pit! WOW!

[@catalhuyuk7]

I was going to start counting how many times you said fire pit but was mesmerized by the building of said fire pit. Love it ♥️🇨🇦

[@budmartin8297]

I have one of these too. I copied a photo off of google, but I kept to the photo with 18 bricks to the ring. I was impressed with how well it performs as a fire ring, radiating the heat back off the tall wall. It also breathes really well with all the gaps letting the air get to the bottom of the fire. Toss in a few dried pine cones with some split pine and you can light it with a match... I actually use my propane torch from the workshop because, why not?

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Thats super sweet. Thats safer than a circle pit if you have kids around. I could see myself cooking some steaks right now and drinking a Margarita.👍

[@PROTHRASHER]

"NO TALKING, JUST STACKING" KEEPS TALKING ABOUT NOT TALKING ANYMORE AND JUST STACKING 😂😂

[@husbandhood]

I know right!

[@danielmart7940]

Excellent build. I camp a lot on my farm and have multiple sites. Usually I overthink firepits, plus they don't draw air as well as yours. I think I will build mine as an elongated oval to hold longer logs and give more front radiance. I also might include a grill across the layers towards the top.

[@Lewisusa11]

I am doing the elongated oval. My first course was 34 Bricks. I am at 100 and on my 4th x course (about 1/4 of the way). I will start half courses with #5

[@ThatVeryArtGal]

Nice. Personally, I would rake aways all that dry grass and put down some sand or soil. The dry grass is making me really nervous.

[@carolynbodnar2334]

I think that’s a great fire pit and nice to look at.

[@matthewfurst1577]

Great fire pit and just loved your commentary. Keep up the great work.

[@doloresm7396]

Masonry, my favorite. Very cool! We can't have fire pits where I live because the next town over has been burning underground since the fifties. You can Google that if you like. I'm thinking this would be great for flowers in my case. I have done so much masonry in the last six years repairing this old house. Working on a crawl space now. I did a staggered retaining wall with bricks and it fell because I cemented it and did not use pipe to secure it. The last time I staggered them and did not use mortar 'cause this way the freeze thaw cycle had a way to release the water. Still standing today and oh yeah, I get the perfectionist reference. Nice to meet you fellow perfectionist.

[@husbandhood]

Coal mine fire right? I'm familiar.

[@Fossillarson]

Really scared your little back yard fire pit will open a vent to the coal fires ? Wow Karen had her moment 😅

[@mjhepburn11]

Near Centralia?

[@Freedom37854]

Leave some spaces on the lower levels to let air into the fire. This will reduce the smoke levels.

[@jumplinjake]

6:11 "As a perfectionist, I like to waste my time with stupidity. That's how we are, unfortunately." ROFL. That hit way too close to home.

add larger cinder blocks to the other side and balance the grate that way. or remove the layers.

Thank you! 😊 the best part is that it could easily be taken down and set aside for times when you dont need it or need the space for something else.

Thanks! I saw the design somewhere online ie the thumbnail but there wasnt any description that went with it. So i just counted the bricks and recreated the photo but in a slightly smaller scale.

[@Sctronic209]

Very nice.

I guess I missed the part with "No Talking"!! LOL! Very neat idea for a non-permanent fire pit.

[@Buddha_Approved]

Ty sir this is beautifui!

[@janicegilbert4029]

That's really nice, but I'd like to see it lit so I can see which direction the smoke goes.

[@husbandhood]

thats always an issue. it often goes towards the house. I try to keep the fire real hot so there would be less smoke.

[@Kate98755]

trying for perfection is a waste of time because it doesn’t exist

[@joannwilliams4133]

Cool

[@hands2hearts-seeds2feedamu83]

@everyone This is an amazing idea. I am going ti have ti try this. Got a few more ideas for what else they would be good for.
