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! 👊
Just giving credit where it’s due. Thanks for the tip and the kind words! I appreciate it!
Daddy’s gonna spank both of you
😅But yes uivbk
Mnn
Km innknn n🎉
Is it good to dry set the concrete like that or is it better to mix it in a wheelbarrow I’ve never dealt with concrete
Dang, HUGE project with a great final result. People don't realize how much extra work all the filming and editing adds to something like this. Nice job man.
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate it! Yeah it’s true it takes a lot of effort, but I really enjoy it!
I'm sure all the editing and whatnot takes a decent bit of time and work. But, it doesn't add much to the actual project other than setting up and turning on a camera.
@@Sublime_1 often that's true. But in this video there were a ton of different camera angles throughout, which makes it super engaging to watch. And that's a lot to do if you're working on a project by yourself.
@@Sublime_1 maybe if you only set up 1 angle for a Timelapse of the whole project, but setting up a ton of different angles throughout the whole time definitely adds up
@@BroBuilds I did notice, after my comment, that you did a lot of different angles. I was wondering if it was different cameras, but, obviously not. I bet you did spend some time, getting the angles. Hats off to ya man, it makes for a much better video, but, I wouldn't have the patience for it personally. Good video, and the fire pit looks nice.
Great example of how you can take one (or two) awesome jobs and use them with your own skills to make something even more amazing! It looks great and I'm sure ya'll are enjoying the heck out of this setup with the weather being colder now.
You’ve done an awesome job and very proud of your accomplishment ! I see some happy gatherings in this chill out spot with family and friends. Blessings to you and your family and friends !!!!! I had a friend of mine create for me a seven foot in circumference diamond wire grate . My hopes are to create a really nice gathering spot that can be used year round. Once again great job !!!!
Very well done.
I too am planning a smokeless fire pit for our backyard. I have used the "dakota" fire pit for stealth camping and those have always worked great.
How did it turn out?
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.
Thanks! That’s makes a lot of sense and sounds like a good rule of thumb to go by! Thanks for your info!
Appreciate the time, effort and energy you put into this project along with the video
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Awesome!! I love the one piece form of the concrete top. Eliminates the gaps for water to penetrate.
Great job. I will definitely come back to this when i start mine.
Stuff like this is so fun to build. I had a side job where I used to live building retaining walls, fire pits, ponds and other outdoor landscaping.
It really is, I love working on outdoor landscaping projects.
Renaissance man! This sure was a lot of hard work but you saved a boat load of money- not to mention the pride and satisfaction of creating something beautiful. Great work
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
This was refreshing to watch. Someone not so arrogant to admit mistakes or that there may be better ideas. Definitely gave me some ideas for my back deck project.
One thing I know is there is always someone that will know more than you. I am just here to share the things I do with what I know and hopefully give a decent idea for someone else to use and even improve on. I am always ready to learn. Glad you got some ideas! Thanks for the kind words!
Great job, it is so cool to see someone doing their own projects, very inspirational
Thanks so much!
Great job! Loved the video. And admire the hard work you put forth to make this on your own.
Hey thank you! Well I’m a big believer in hard work and keeping busy to get things done.
I have been amazed by the amount of views this has already recieved! Hitting 20,000 views on 7/15/22. Thank you so much everyone for watching and for the kind words! If you have suggestions, make sure to comment them below to help someone else make theirs even better.
And now hitting 100k views on 7/19/22! I’m amazed! Thanks everyone for the kind words and suggestions!
And now on 7/25/22 hitting over 265,000 views! Feel very blessed to have a video do so great!
Great job! Thanks for sharing it with everyone!
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for watching! That makes sense, I am going to be doing some modifications sometime and will make more videos on improving the design I went with.
@@TheFixFinder Applaud your efforts here. Extremely Impressive. Please keep us updated as you apply modifications.
ThankYou
I love watching the building process. So satisfying and relaxing. Thanks
Thanks! Appreciate it!
That all looks great! Really like the pergola porch swing in your latest video as well. Keep it up! 👍
Thank you! Appreciate it! Your method is working very well so far for me!
@@TheFixFinder Awesome! Love to hear it. I know when I added the pipe, there was a noticeable difference. Glad to see you installed it early on instead of after the fact like I did haha.
Man you saved the day. Firsts project I’m tackling on our new home. Thanks
I got a new video coming out this weekend with some updates and improvements you can check out that I did.
It's midnight and I have classes. TH-cam decided to recommend me this, therefore I must watch.
🤣
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.
@@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.
@@JacobAnawalt It works and is a well known practice. Just use galvanized screws that won't corrode.
@@dlindy9143 seen this done plenty of times yup
Not the best idea. Rusted screws will split the wood/concrete. Just mix the cement properly. ppl need to stop dry pouring cement on things that aren't just surface corrections.
This is awesome. I plan on building a fire pit in my backyard too. And you have me so many ideas I hadn't even thought about.
Great video.
Thanks! Appreciate it! Glad it could help with ideas!
That was a great video. Well done. I've been watching Haxman for a while and you did him proud! Come build me one.
Thanks so much! Well I lived in South East Florida for the last 10 years until moving this past year, so that may have been closer to you! 😂 Now I am back to being a hoosier boy.
Very well produced and your attention to detail is obvious. Awesome! Id like to see an 8 mos review: what works well, what would you do different. We watched then asked ourselves, “does it work? Was the drain effective?” Other then that we watched a lot of work for something that does look nice.
Thanks! Appreciate it. I have plans on a follow up I would like to do sometime soon on a few improvements I would like to make. The airflow coming from underneath seemed to help it burn a little hotter.
Brother this was an absolutely beautiful project! amazing work and thank you the video
Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate it!
Hats off to you man! You did a great job on making this firepit.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!
Thank you for an excellent educational video. I learned a great deal. Carry On Sir!
Great job sir, thank for sharing your knowledge !
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Fine work on those pavers and working towards quality. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
Steps, details and instructions were great. Can you share a list of materials please
Great job! Shows to always try, you never know how wonderful it will turn out
Thanks!
That looks fantastic. I am looking forward to finding your video with the swing.
Wow!!!!! Outstanding job, I am totally impressed! I have been watching tons of videos and looking at fire pit kits online! Your seating area looks beautiful and very professional. I love your stone fire pit design as well. Thank you for sharing the entire process!
Hey thanks! Really appreciate the compliment!
And this is where my wife tells me she will prefer if the whole thing was moved 10 yards further away from the house...😂
🤣
Great job! Love the thought and effort and just going for it! Looks great!!
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
Great job bud! I’m gonna get started on my mangy yard in the Spring. Thanks for sharing the ideas and know-how!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
YOU MADE YOUR OWN FIRERING? bruh... that's next level. You did an amazing job. I've been researching how to do the breather hole and I really like your method. Thanks for including your mistakes so I will *hopefully* not make them lol. Great video sir!!!! And GREAT Firepit!!!
Okay the flower was insane 👏🏽
Very well done video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Looks great. Well done!
Great job! Love it.
Keep going.
Thank you!
Great video! I'm in design mode now and you (and the Haxman) have given great inspiration to me!
Thanks! Hope it goes well!
You should have built the Dakota Fire pit portion where the air vent comes to feed the side of the fire, and not under the fire. Generally Dakota pits are not as wide where the fire is contained. Helps isolate airflow.
Nicely done!
That came out real good
Appreciate the kind words!
Beautiful work... I'm making one this summer to be ready for the fall. Thanks
Thank you! It’s a fun project to do
Well done! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words!
Nice job. The swing is an uncommon idea by a fire pit but outside the box thinking. Swing is a 👍.
Thank you!
Great idea for the cover, could put the kiddos hand prints in it to add extra memories
Great job thanks for the video! Enjoy.
Thanks for watching!
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!
Man your very skilled guy I respect that teach all how nice work
Dude nice job!! This is super well done! Love it! 💪🏻
Thanks! Love it when a project finally comes together well!
This actually is what I want to do. Dakota combined with secondary combustion. Sooooooo how's it work out?
Looks great
Thanks!
fantastic!!
Wow lots of hard work and looks amazing. Great work
Thank you so much!
You did awesome; looks great!
Thank you!
You did that slim!!
Look great 👍
Thank you!
It always blows my mind how much longer it takes me to tackle a diy project I saw how to do online 😂 AND you filmed the while thing…
Yep, it always does take longer than expected, but yes the filming sure adds a lot more time
Very nice!! Thank you.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!
awesome job.
Thank you!
Amazing work
Thank you!
Nice work ! I am duly impressed
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching
I made the same type of top (used 4x pieces as the original Haxman one), but finished smooth the exposed top side while in the form. This way I did not see the inevitable air bubbles on the bottom.
Funny thing is I have received comments about how was I able to get the bubbles look because they liked it😂
Great stuff
Good thinking on that sand cement mix rather than polymeric sand. I've used it on multiple projects and it works just fine.
Yeah I tried that polymeric stuff on my newer project doing a paver patio and I’m not a huge fan of it.
Great job 👍🏿
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great job and loved it when you mentioned all the booboos down the road, honestly that helps future builders.
Keep your smile and enjoy smokeless fire pit.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
Cool 😎
Good job looks great
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Great job on the entire video. It was edited and narrated really well!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
fantastic thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Looks great. I was intrigued by the smokeless portion as smoke bothers my sinuses. This all looks beautiful, but I still saw plenty of smoke.
I noticed it definitely does make a different when the fire gets nice and hot
@@TheFixFinder ok that’s good. Smoke didn’t used to bother me, but now, it’s like instant headache. Big reason I never did a fire pit. But may have to try this.
Nice!
Thanks!
Very nice!
You have talent.
Thank you!
That looks great man. Awesome job
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Very good job!
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
Fantastic work!!
Thank you!
Enjoyed this thoroughly. Great looking fire pit
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Nice build! Gives me some ideas for my future one!
Thanks! Great! Make it even better! 👍🏼
Waooo amazing,,,,
God loves you man. Keep up the good work
Thank you! God Bless!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing this. Your damn cable line runs directly underneath the center of the fire pit. That's absurd. It literally couldn't be in a worse spot. I hope it doesn't cause future problems. The good news is that you could always run a new line from your provider and just rip the old one out.
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.
Very nice work
Thank you!
Great video man
Thank you!
Good job man.
Thank you!
Nice job.
Thanks!
This is very inspiring bro I can’t wait to get my own house to do the same 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Hey thanks so much! It really is amazing to own a house! It takes work and effort to maintain and improve, but I love doing it!
Looks great. Only comment I would make is you should put some patio edging around it so it doesn't shift over time. This will ensure your pavers are in the same place 5 years from now.
Thank you! That is a good thought, although from how it has held up so far it doesn’t seem like it’s going to shift easily with what I used. That may change after a while though🤷♂️
Very nice job man, great stuff!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Looks good man!
Thank you!
adding this to the bucket list, nice one bro
Thanks! Appreciate it!
You did a great job by yourself you needed some help right there at the end to lift that ring
I wished I could’ve helped you !
Thanks for the kind words! It wasn’t too bad, the right leverage goes a long way
This is great. Perfect video. I really appreciate your patience and craftsmanship. Something I struggle with.
Curious how everything is holding up ?
Also, not being a antagonizer; just bringing awareness to the viewers. Where I live, the swing structure actually makes this fire pit out of code. (Needs to be 25’ from a combustible structure) that’s if they care obviously. Haha. I’m just bringing this up so people who read this look into their local codes before they spend time doing something they’re not allowed to do. BC IVE BEEN THERE. HAHA
God Bless, bro. Again. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much for the kind words! So far mostly everything is fine. I need to re-do the cement top and put better support in it because it cracked apart from the heat. And there is normal little cracks formed around different parts of the cement in between the bricks.
Thanks for the tips for others viewing!
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..
Thanks for the kind words! New follow up video is posting tomorrow. Yes, we have been enjoying it a lot. It makes for a nice relaxing evening.
great job.........
