@wsoxman A 35″ Firepit fits right in a circle of 17 blocks. Its an easy project and it looks great.
@MickScarborough yeah this shit is bullshit..it just looks nice..your wife will make you buy it..you dont need any of this to enjoy a fire..just find some rocks which are free..make a circle you dont need concrete..put your logs in and thats it, you have a fire just like he native indians
@aatullberg A steel fire pit wont last more than 60 weeks.
That’s about 64 blocks? At about $3 a piece. So around $200 for the brick. And a steel fire pit is anywhere from $40-$100. Somewhat pricey fire pit.
What’s wrong with a steel drum.
I think rivers and trees
@erichitz79 @tosgem damn…
he should have used Galvacore.
They cut the video right where they were going to have to cut the bricks. Not an easy job for someone that doesn’t have the right saw.
They failed to state the diamitor of the fire bowl. It’s hard to believe that the bricks didn’t need to be cut.
@erichitz79 LOL if you are rich for real you dont live in America.
@tosgem i guess that is the standard Alabama Method. but if your house cost more than 15,000$ you like the appeal of nice things.
@TheCyoruk it prohibits sparks from flying off into your surroundings and setting fire elsewhere.
@TheCyoruk so the ash and other debris that may pop from the firewood doesn’t kill you or set anything on fire
why put a lid on fire?
what in the dam heck do ya need to build this for, i just lite a fire wherever i wants in the yard N use some rocks round the out side if i wanna get fancy
The point of mentioning the fireproof block was if you were not going to use the metal tray, and use it for an open fire pit. The fireproof block would keep the outer block from heating to a very high temp and or possibly damaging the outer stone long term. If you were going to use the metal tray. then the fireproof block is not needed.
whats the point of the fire block?
Thanks, I wanted something that looked more permanant than a table firepit. it is a bit late now but we can see the city’s fireworks from our backyard on the Fourth of July and NewYears and a firepit would be such a great way to spend the night.
Stumbled upon the howto video and this is a nice idea instead of just putting the firepit alone. Thanks.
@WafflePower go to lowes web page and search “Unbranded 9″ Tan/Brown Countryside Wall” the stones are about $3 each
You do not need the fire block.
so easy to do and looks awesome i poured a concret footer because of living in the midwest i didnt want it to move in the winter but in total it took about 3 hours to build and all mat. was about 250 bucks the fire block is very costy
JIMMY JOHNSON IS #1

I checked with my local Lowes and they don’t have those stones either. Kinda lame to put it on your webpage when you don’t even carry the product you are pushing.
