​@@StatUpBoxwhat are the dimensions of the pit? Would like to make sure I have enough space before buying anything

Cool. I'm doing it next weekend when I have time. Thanks for letting us know it turned out great.

I believe I’ll do this myself. I already have the wall bricks.

Best DIY commentary out there, hands down!

Thank you!

I don't think I've ever laughed so much learning how to do a backyard project

[@TSVFishing]

"The last thing you want on a clear and sunny day.... is to die." My thoughts exactly.

[@goofi78]

I have to be honest, I usually don’t like corny jokes when watching DYI videos, HOWEVER, this video in its entirety made me smile! Great job. One of the best videos on KZbin regardless of the category.

[@SpyEyes26]

Best DIY video I've seen, while standing at the HomeDepot line waiting to enter. Covid 19 true story. LOL

[@mattszalankiewicz8177]

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.

[@victoriaheindel1143]

I came to learn how to build a firepit and ended up laughing my butt off in the process. Thank you!! Priceless!

Just built this earlier today with my daughter. Thank you for the instructions! Your pricing was super accurate and helpful as well.

[@eyezwideopen]

I'm doing yard renovation and found some of these exact bricks left in the yard so they are now going to be included in my fire pit. Thanks for the tips!

[@jakefry9608]

Really enjoyed this video! I am going to be building a firepit for my wife's birthday this weekend. I was a little anxious about making sure I got every detail right, but your humor made this so much more of a fun experience. Looking forward to building this week!

[@rerelux6311]

I’m looking at building picnic tables and fire pits on several of our vacation rental properties and I’ve watched so so many DIY videos - taking notes the whole way. I had to double watch this one as I found myself just giggling as the instructions. Very good video with all details needed, and not boring to watch! Double plus!!

[@lairafonner7957]

I really love your sense of humor. Thanks so much! We enjoyed watching and plan do this today. . .

[@LOHEAT]

Thanks so much man. I’ve been putting this project off for about a year now. My last steel fire pit rusted out. Me, my wife, and my 4 yr old son did this today. Had little difference. We used 11 stone for each level, and had to use 2 bags of sand and lava rocks. We did 4 layers, so a total of 44 stone. With 2022 inflation it was $2.58 a stone, and 2 bags of sand, pea gravel, and 2 bags of lava rocks (around $6 each bag). Came out to a total of $135. We had a great time, and I was glad the whole family could be apart of it. Thanks again man. You’re the real MVP.

[@hectorgurts3425]

That’s an awesome Idea. I was thinking of doing the project myself. Definitely asking the wife and kids to help out so we can enjoy this together.

[@jozejeaux3962]

I don't need to watch another DIY fire pit. THIS IS THE ONE!!

[@wakaul]

this is the most inspiring video of DIY fire pit so far I've seen.

Excellent video filled with pertinent information for the novice or like ourselves builders of many flowerbeds but no experience with a much needed fire pit. He has an an excellent sense of humor which encourages me to want to listen to the end to obtain all essential info. Thank you so much for your production.

[@tracyp1992]

BEST DIY tutorial I’ve seen! 😂 Anyone can do this project and take away some helpful ‘tips’ along the way. I’ve already shared this video to 5 peeps. Thanks for making learning FUN!

[@rainycitysound]

Thanks so much for this! We made ours today (my wife requested it for Mother’s Day) and it was awesome! The Home Depot bricks we got would have required more than ten bricks to make a “perfect” match for all the seams, but we made it work with ten. After all, it’s just a fire pit! Tutorial was so funny my kid actually wanted to help, ha!

[@joebigs2064]

You just made my summer exciting... thanks

Had my wife and I laughing so hard, she said "I feel like I need to hang out with this guy" 😄 We are excited to put in our firepit and show our neighbors who controls fire 🔥

[@ruthrodriguez487]

Thank you for your easy to follow Fire Pit Install. I did it in a weekend, which included pulling plants, weeds and leveling out the area; however, building the actual fire pit using your directions, only took me a couple of hours by myself.

[@afinecupofcoffee8476]

This video is so helpful. I just moved into a home that has a two-tier firepit and it's in awful condition. I was going to start from scratch but it looks pretty easy to just clean it up, and add the sand and rocks to make it look new!

[@pinba11freak]

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.

[@louiselipscomb1589]

I did it me and my two grand boys 5 and 7 they were so happy it looks really good too

[@Calypso3]

I love how easy going and optimistic! 2 thumbs up

[@altkagesa3495]

Love the humor and practicality of your videos - short and sweet!

[@charlesscandonejr.7256]

This was great, and entertaining with the commentary.

[@rickytes]

At first, I was looking forward to seeing how to make a fire pit, but as the video went on, I looked more forward to hearing the side jokes you were making. The Leaning Tower of Pisa and fire hydrant jokes had me crying from laughter. 🤣 Thanks for being informative and entertaining! 😎👍

[@neededtobesaid4275]

This is on my list for this month. The only thing I'll do differently is I'll use some of the extra dirt to level the blocks. Also, I'll put the rest of the dirt in my compost pile. Great video. Your humor is greatly appreciated!

[@JorgePille]

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.

[@jibbsmcdoink3009]

Yea bc I’m sure he needs your advice. …. Make your own video you fruit loop lipped leroy jankins

Hubby and I just made one!! We went the $100 version and used 12 stones instead of 10. We made the base grey, the middle red, and the top row grey again. It looks great! we are going to christen it tonight! Your video was fun and inspiring and yes simple. Thanks! We would send you a picture but don't know how to.

( 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

Have you had any issues with ash removal? I wonder if the lava rock would get in the way of getting rid of ash after a few fires. Great video! Thanks!

Usually we just move the lava rock around with a stick or the log scicor when dry and there gone or once it rains they wash away to the bottom , next day is gone.
