I've seen a few fire pit build videos. Practically every one is different. Some suggest digging a 6-8 inch base as would be done for a paver walkway. This Lowe's video only shows digging down 2-3 inches and leveling the dirt before putting in only 2-3 inches of stone. Is that adequate for a fire pit? I'd like to avoid digging 6-8 inches if 2-3 is sufficient.

you take it too seriously man. Just dig a bit. Even Neanderthals used fire without burning themselves.

they dont give the diameter because this thing is too small to be of any use it is decorative at best and a total waste of time and energy if you want to actually have a useable fire

1:39 looks really crooked (big gap at the top where the fire ring meets the stones). Middle row stone in center of footage at 1:39 also appears to be higher than the adjacent stones.. Wondering if that is due to variation in the shape of the stones or lack of attention to detail during the assembly process? The bottom row looks pretty even and level, but that middle row throws everything off. Maybe this is the best that can be done with that brand of stones without using mortar. I'm getting ready to attempt this myself with Pavestone brand "Rumblestones." Hoping for better results.

@loganbaker3254 жыл бұрын
Most retaining wall blocks contain moisture and can potentially be damaged or even explode when exposed to high heat, so they have a steel insert to protect the blocks. Fire bricks can also be used but they are expensive

Its because there are no gaps or holes to allow oxygen to flow into the fire. When you starve a fire of oxygen, it will smoke a lot.

The metal ring serves a purpose. Concrete stones over time will fall apart from the heat of a fire without a steel ring or fire bricks lining the inside. This is why they also fill lava rock up to the ring to protect the bottom row below the ring.
