For this fire pit I used ideas from the channels How To Home and Haxman. I built this over the course of a few months and love the addition it is to our back yard!

That looks fantastic! Thanks for the credit too. Most channels don't do that. 😂 I have found that making sure the fire touches the sides helps get them hot enough to get the smokeless effect. I always build my fires wide. Awesome job, it looks beautiful! 👊

Looks great. As for the posts. I'm not a professional, but my personal rule is to have the width of a post be the outside circle around the post. So, for your 6" post, your total outside hole diameter would be 18". I also use the rule of 1' of depth for every 4' of height above ground. It may seem like overkill for some applications, but I'd rather it be way too sturdy than flimsy at all, primarily because you never know what you might want to do in the future and having it overbuilt is better than having to completely redo it later.

To make the posts less wobbly, put a few screws with about 50% of the screw sticking out in random places on the posts in areas that will be covered by the cement. Then pour the cement in. It will give the cement more to grab on to once it sets.

Idk, I’m tempted to file this in “sounds good in theory, but not in practice” I’ve never done it seen this done and center set posts were fine. It makes me wonder how long before the screw corroded. The bigger issue was post placement in the hole and maybe the “mix in hole” method. I’ve also never seen it done that way.
@iluomopeloso
@iluomopeloso 2 жыл бұрын
@@JacobAnawalt Definitely the placement. I used to work for a deck/fence installation crew, and we always poured dry quickcrete into the post holes. It would probably have helped if he'd put some sort of footing in the hole first, too. Just a busted up brick in the hole before dropping the post in there.

Great job thanks for showing the mistakes…that’s the most helpful part. For a smokeless fire the fire itself has to be below the holes. The holes add extra oxygen to the top of the flame for a secondary burn that eliminates the smoke. If you overfill any solo stove it will smoke just like any other fire.

nice job. 2 things I would have done a bit differently. 1) since your internet connection runs right through the middle, why not move the entire "patio" over 10' so it doesn't? Murphy's Law dictates that if there is a problem with that cable, it will be directly beneath the "patio" 2) using that vent pipe for air intake is good idea. but why not move it out beyond the edge of the "patio" where it is more open to the surrounding air? Just my 2 cents. You did do a great job.

For number 1. I positioned it in that spot because of future plans for a porch area over our back patio that will be complimented by the fire pit and off that patio a walkway that connects the patio to fire pit and our back sliding door, walkway, and firepit will all be in line with each other. 2. You could do that if you wanted. My thought is this way you don’t have to worry about grass growing up around it or being messed up with weed eater or mower whereas with it coming up around the pavers it stays neat and clean. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks. It’s true, but if I moved the whole thing one way, it would kind of be over the septic and leech field, if I moved it the other way, it would be in the way of anything I wanted to move into the back yard through the gate. So this is the spot that we ended up with. That’s the main reason I’m not worried is because they lay those new lines in like 10 min. I have seen several other lines laying around here so you know they have done it a few times.

Really nice will probably last a solid 10 years before you have to check for weaknesses 1. Dry pour concrete is really not the great. So much to show how weak and brittle it is compared to pre-mixing but it's surrounded by dirt and deep so you may never notice anything for some years. 2. Wood will rot and be destroyed due to the concrete and ground contact. It would last a crazy amount longer if those were braces above the concrete. And placed steel plates in the concrete to support the beams above once it's all dried. Overall still incredible job and for DIY this will do everything and then some for what it's purpose is.

One thing to note is that concrete will explode when it heats too much, that's why it's not used in fire pits, ovens, etc. You would typically use firebricks for that or a special mortar mix. It will have to reach a very high temp in order to explode, but it's definitely possible from burning wood, especially for a prolonged period.

Honestly, Great video! Fun project! Since "landscape professionals" have been knocking your work, I'd love to see follow-up videos 📹 so we can see how this project holds up over the course of a few years.. My guess is that you'll be enjoying this fire pit for decades to come, with no real problems popping up..

You really had that spray paint tied up there at the beginning 😂 Great video though! Very impressed you got the concrete top on by yourself without it breaking

If you ever make the mistake with the post again, you can wait till the concrete almost dries, carefully dig the other 180 and pour the other side. Make sure ur still level and square good to go. I screw that up all the time because I pre dig the wholes when I have spare time and sometimes it's a touch off 😅

Our area is probably 50-70 percent sand so it’s really nice to work with. The garden sure loves it!
