I appreciated the video AND the music. But my family is from the mountains of NC, so maybe I'm just broken. =) Definitely going to retain this for later inspiration, this is just about what I wanted to do in our yard. Thanks!

i dug a perfect rectangular hole about 4 feet down and just put a layer of brick around the top it's a pit pit country style

[nycisne]

you have to liner the inside to avoid concrete to explode

[MistressSinsation]

What kind of bricks are they and the name? I want to make a fire pit exactly like that...

[ttabet5555]

I didnt see wood put in the fire pit. is there a reason for that?

[s2000julius]

Love it. I built mine into the middle of the brick layout in my backyard bar and grill design and it came out lovely.

Thanks, i was going to buy one but after watching the video i am going to make one, i have a half pallet of landscaping bricks in the backyard i can use :)

[pmul246]

Your video is great. Thanks for sharing.

[Lwyte17]

man i hated that shitty music but good instructional

[dizynstar]

You should have checked out the version with audio instructions. It's on my YouTube channel. There's no music on that one. Glad you liked the instructions though :-)

[alexispwns000]

this video was posted on my bday...lol.....oh and i guess your video was alright..i was realy looking for something to explode =P but good job making the pit

[dizynstar]

Since they are interlocking bricks, they are quite stable. Using a concrete or mortar to bind the bricks would be okay but it's not needed. The air flow is good for the fire. However, if you're using regular bricks that don't interlock you want want to use some mortar.

[davidward123]

do you just lay the bricks on top of eachother or do you use a mix to bind them?

[spdbmp3]

Quick, easy...looks great!

[theropingeffect]

Very nice!

[OBarbara]

good job!~

[PrivateUnknown007]

were those the hollow bricks, and if so, did you have trouble with them cracking?

[dizynstar]

They were not hollow bricks. They were solid bricks that interlock for building retaining walls.

[ceestrate]

Bravo! Well done, Lady. I'm going to do one too!

Many thanks for this fun little slideshow. I'm inspired!

fire!!!!! fire !!!!!stop drop and roll

[FobRocker88]

lol, nice fire pit!

but this music is driving me crazy!!

AHHH

[dizynstar]

Good thing it's a short video! LOL

[iampetro]

cool pit but bad fire XD

[ni1522ke]

Nice design with the rocks on the outside, terrible use of the slate on the bottom of your pit. Slate has air pockets so as your fire heats up it could cause the pocket to burst causing hot sharp rock everywhere. Overall I like it.

[dizynstar]

Thanks for the tip. I think It will be okay since I have yet to remove any of the ash. I'm pretty sure the extra ash is insulating the fire pit's floor. Also, I don't think the floor gets all that hot because heat rises. I've noticed that even with a roaring fire inside the pit, the surround stones/bricks don't get hot. I'm looking forward to enjoying the fire this fall!

[KingsFan4Life010]

hey do you have to put something inside it? we built one for my friends backyard. it is built on top of flat even cinder blocks.

[marks71BB]

I agree, great job up until I saw the slate. Slate can explode when exposed to high temps.

[dizynstar]

Be sure to check out my newer firepit video with audio instructions and a few more images!

[Steems2008]

Very nice. Looks like a flower! Steems

[dizynstar]

Well I suppose you could barbecue, but the grate would be quite close to the flames. Maybe a bit too close, unless you wait until the fire is a burning umber. Than go for it!

[T850CSM101a1676]

You can barbeque on that I assume.

[far3]

Did you cement it?

[dizynstar]

No cement required. The minor spaces allow the fire to breathe, therefore it will burn better.

[shupufff]

I like the pit
