My sister had the same fire pit. The first time she made a fire there was no air flow. You have to have some gaps in the base in order to get some air to the fire to keep it lit. It looks nice but people are either going to have to pour gasoline on the fire every 20 minutes or keep blowing from the top. We simply removed a couple of rocks from either side of the ring and bingo, the fire did not stop blazing!
Thanks
You might want to consider my previous comment! It works great!!
I’m bulding the same thing without the metal ring so I still need airflow like that?
I just installed a cast iron burner into the bottom, attached it to a cheap 12v hair dryer blower. With so many places for the air to be released from, its low flow and doesnt blow my ashes around, and can stoke a fire in a matter of seconds.
Would there be a problem with ashy water draining out onto the patio through the holes after a rain?
Wow, that looked amazingly simple.
I recently had a Belgard patio, pool deck, and fire pit installed. However, I added a shaped stone ring to the top to give it a more finished look and to give it a wider area around the pit than the Weston stone gives. I also lined the inside with a SoloStove to burn the wood more efficiently, cut down on smoke, and make clean up (ashes) quick and easy! If you're thinking of a stone patio, I can vouch for Belgard!!
The river rock/fire rock tip was great, as was the one on how to always have dry base. Many thanks
I love this guy! Makes funny and informative videos. Thank you!
Super Excited I wanted to put a fire pit by my pool so that my guest house and myself can have full access to it! Was not sure if I had to break concrete yay!!! Stoked !!
That is a really nice fire pit I just made one with an old wheel from a oil truck. It works but I like your much more thanks for sharing.
Can't believe you cut flower the fox for this final part. although I live in the UK so materials are different, it great to watch really skilled people and learn little tips and tricks
I think you guys are awesome because everything that you do is explained step by step and you all have a good sense of humor.Awesome
Thank you for this great info. I am building a 10x10 foot sitting area and will build a fire pit on top. Great info
Lol glad I saw your video. You’re so funny, and random 🤣 Glad to see the guys having a good time with you too 🤣
you rocked it on this one Stanley....bidding a job on Monday and I'm sure I can sell the job and seal the deal with the help of your video. thanks again.
Nice, can't wait to build mine. Great vid! Thanks!
nice build
Another awesome video. Thank You!!!! God Bless.
Love the pit system you used, but my concern is with the rain water. Won't it eventually leech its way out on to the patio and bring ash with it staining your nice white patio stones? Would it be better to cut a circle the ID circumference of the pit and dig down a few inches into the soil, then fill it with the granite chips keeping it below grade when you start the first course?
My Belgard crew left "weep" spaces to allow rain to run out.
Did anyone find a solution to this?
@@BryantAvant Yes, see comment below.
Absolutely yes. And with the bottom rows of exposed stone they will crack after a few fires unless they are actual fire brick
Huh, a lot more straight forward than I thought. ☺
Awesome video!!! A Mexican can do it in 30 minutes, so this should take me 4 hours.
So youre racist and stupid?
This was fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Love your sense of humor as well!
HI Stan. Love your videos. You and The handyman videos have helped me out so much. I'm new at commenting on you tube. So I probably sound plain. 😄😄
Entertaining video. However, structurally it might have been a little better to design air holes so that the fire would not only draw, but produce significantly less smoke.
Amazing easy even I might be able to do it
Definitely my favorite fire pit build
A great fire pit insert alternative is the zentro by breeo industries. It is a smoke-less fire pit insert.
👍
I like this setup would love to build a fire pit just like this
Do you have a link to the fire ring and the pavers you used?
awesome job and great tips. especially regarding the lava rocks.
Beautiful work
god bless you too! thanks for the tips!
Great video, great job, and........a great sense of humor! Life's too short to take seriously.
Phenomenal video and God bless you too brother!!!!!
Thanks! You too!
Thanks! You helped me out a lot!
Looks GREAT!!!!!
Thank you!
100% I am going to do this. What a kick-ass video.
You guys are so fun ! Lovely video
Love your video, right to the point.
Thanks Pavel!
Where can I get a ring like that. Looks good!
Great informative video with some laughs. I like it that way.
Thanks Giovanni !
Awesome video Stanley👍👍👍👍
Excellent video. We are about to build that exact fire pit in our yard.
I would like to build a firepit on a concrete slab like yours . What can I put down to keep the slab from cracking? The granite stone you mentioned?
Great video Stan. And the fact that you can put up with Cousin John makes it that much better, hehe
Another great video. Thanks Stan!🤓
Great video, much appreciate! What's the approximate size of that patio & fire ring that was installed?
Great video!
Thanks Guys!
Most gravel yards have it
Looks like a 34" one. They have them at Menards, Home Depot, etc.
Anyone know where to buy that fire pit ring with removable grill grate?
Liked for the face zoom in lol so cute
video is dope and you help me out a lot and want to go to Lowe’s
I love watching these videos. You seem like the kind of self made person that is awesome to work with and for. Keep up the great work and awesome content!
If you add the rock to the bottom of the pit, after burning wood, how hard is it to keep clean? I’d imagine that the coals/ash would wash out the bottom, possibly staining the patio. Any thoughts on this?
I think I'll be trying this!! Looks great!
Thanks , hope it turns out awesome for you !
LOVE!
😀
Awesome!
Very nice guys , can you tell me what to use exactly as a cooking grate and also size of fire pit and size cooking grate needed . Thank you .
top videos!!! keep up the good work mate
Can you build this fire pit on your tamped crusher run base?. I want to build my pit half in half out of my patio and run my pavers up to the pit. Then fill part way with pea gravel. Your help would be appreciated
Hilarious and informative! Thanks!
blessings from Puerto Rico ..bro
Thanks!
Where was this fire pit kit purchased? Thanks.
Great video!! Do you guys have the video showing how you did the pad underneath?
nice ride you got going down the stairs!
I don't know how I apparently subscribed to this page as I don't to construction work, of any kind unless you count filling in wall cracks with filler and wallpapering (once), Nonetheless these guys are amazing and I find their pages strangely interesting and fascinating to see them work. What marvelous men to have around the house. Their building skills and knowledge is remarkable - wish my spouse was like them! They are also amusing and witty.
Thank you!
You are quite welcome, Mr Genadek. I thank YOU.
Great video... do you have the link for the fire ring with grill?
Is this a 24” or 48” grill insert? And where would I be able to purchase this grill insert? Thanks great helpful video.
Where can I buy the fire pit ring and concrete blocks? What brand?
That was great. Love the silly humor, but still covered the critical info!
Where do you recommend buying blocks at? Idk if ur a fan of the big box stores or not but it seams like to me that the bigger the chain of stores the crappier and cheaper the products are
Thank you so much for your tip of the day, I was getting ready to make a fire pit out a river rocks, and I don’t really feel like having rocks explode in my face!! Thanks again
Glad I could help!, thanks for viewing Sarah !

Beautiful fire pit. So at the base you put granite stones or 57 stones or they are the same thing?
Subscribed! Always learn more when I watch your videos! Thanks, J
Anddddd added to my favorites. 😄
Thank you!😃
Do you have a video to show how to build a rectangular fire pit, roughly two to three courses high?
Consider adding a heavy-duty metal grate on top of the loose granite stone base in the bottomof the pit. Similar look to a kettle grill grate. Only heavier 1/4" - 3/8" diameter rods. This will protect the granite from being removed when you need to clean out the ash.
“Do it yourself fire pit” shows crew of at least 3 to 5 guys🤣
looks awesome but how would I shovel put the ashes if there is stone down bottom top?
Luv it Kool
Awesome. What kit is this please? Does it come with the cooking grate?
how would you prevent wash out of ash when it rains? most people are too lazy to cover it every time it rains
Hi there I'm from UK and looking to build exactly this where can I buy this fire pit??
What was used in the base , was it the granite stones or the 57 stones you mentioned, and can I buy them at home depot?
Can you tell me the name of the patio stone you used b? Looks amazing
So what about rain? When it rains on the ashes, do they seep out at the bottom and run down the patio? Or is there some sort of drainage under the pit?
Hahah power wheels killed me 😂awesome video man
Thanks !
Can I use this indoors as well ?
We are doing a combination pond and fire pit.....the fire pit sits higher than the pond and the pond is about 6 feet away from the fire pit....but within the same cut out design as the pond. that...would be interesting to see is one built here on you tube.
Is there a website where you buy the pavers to complete this project??
Do you need separation on the bricks for air flow or it doesn’t matter?
Love the video
Thank you !
I was wondering, what will happen to water that accumulates in the pit from rain over time? Seems like it wouldn't drain. I live in a place where it rains a bit. Thanks.
Nice job, but how do you get all the ash and cinders out?
Thanks I almost used river rock...nothing like fireworks while sitting around the flames 👍🏼
with the rock bottom how would you clean out the firepit but i love the way it looks
Scrape down to the rock and stop -if you remove some rock its no big deal.
Love the flexibility of the insert. Being able to cook food or not. Where did you get the insert?
great fire pit. Is that a kit? the ring andthe bricks....and if it is ...where can I purchase one?
What are all the items needed to build this fire pit how many bricks what kind of bricks were you get the insert and the gravel ? @Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek
Hi I put pea gravel at the bottom of my fire pit and a layer between the galvanized steel ring and pave stone. I never used it. I just want to know if it will explode?
where did you guys get the fire ring from?
We are in the camp of not installing them over pavers. We install the block on the sand bed that the pavers are set on. This allows water to drain right through the base. We find that if you set them on the pavers, it doesn't allow water to drain fast enough, then water mixed with the charcoal can leach out the sides of the block and stain the pavers. I believe it looks better cut into the pavers as well.
I agree. With the gravel in the fire pit, that hides the mess of liquid ash and overall black muck that will run to the bottom of the pit after the first fire and it rains. Because the pit is on top of the pavers, the muck (at some point once the muck acts like grout in the self draining pavers) will drain down and out across the slope of the patio. Seems like the pavers under the pit need to be removed to allow for the muck drainage into the sand and then through the base into the ground. Seems that would have been simple to do.
You are correct. I'm building a 200k pool for a homeowner which includes a fire pit. I would never build on top of a nice, twenty thousand dollar travertine deck. It must be placed on the base material and then the deck built around it for percolation. If adding a fire pit after the deck is built, you must remove the decking underneath. FYI
So is the fire built directly on top of the sand then or do you still put some kind of brick down for the fire to be built on? Also, does the fire pit need to be lined with firebricks or can the typical tumbled concrete blocks take the heat without cracking?
@Grackle2012 after extended use the pavers under the pit will be completely discolored and look terrible.
What about ventilation and cleaning out the pit after using? Thanks for posting the video. I'm in the middle of a pit build now....hence the questions.
How did it turn out? Did you put your pit directly on top of pavers like in the vid? I'm planning a paver patio with pit and sitting wall and I'm debating on putting my fire pit directly on top of the pavers vs. cutting the pavers around the fire pit. If I put it on top of the pavers I'm going to line the bottom with landscape fabric and 4 inches of sand to filter out any dirty water so it does't stain surrounding pavers. The fire pit kit that I'm buying uses a copper bowl on top so fires aren't built inside of the fire pit. Which means I don't need to use liner or firebrick.
What did you ultimately end up doing and has it worked? I'm also worried rain would wash the ashes and drain out dirty water from the bottom of the bricks to my concrete patio...
So I want to do this same idea over a existing paver patio and on the Brock paverbase site they recommend filling pit 3/4 with stone... that would mean on a 14” depth fire pit kit ( that I’m eyeing up for purchase) I’d only have 3.5” depth left over to put any firewood in. That sounds like some crazy overkill. Can Anyone speak on this?
Great Vid, quick question.
After time with all the charcoal and soot throughout the 57 stone when it rains won't the water runoff from within the firepit stain the pavers?
Same thought and question
Yup my thoughts exactly
Time to answer this one?
Mr Juarez has the same question. Need to know pls. Ready to make a pit.
Ofcourse...nooooooo answer!
Did you get that fire pit from Jamestown advanced? Also what depth did you purchase for customer?
