  • man i hated that shitty music but good instructional

  • 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 :-)

  • 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.

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

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

  • lol, nice fire pit!

    but this music is driving me crazy!!

    AHHH

  • Good thing it's a short video! LOL

  • 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.

  • Nice

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

    

  • might try this myself !

  • 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

  • you have to liner the inside to avoid concrete to explode

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

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

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