A man was a moment ago at my house telling me it would be $2,456 to build me a fire pit. I presume this is nuts! I am sure that I can do this myself for a lot smaller number. Just a small one that is within the ground with fire stones. Anyone own any great ideas for me to start near?
Answers: That's crazy, thats way over priced for only a fire pit!
Here a way easier solution and would cost you no more that $150.
stir to a hardware store that sells bricks, pavers, etc. buy some wood or landscape ties to frame the ground (keep from grass growing in), dig your grass out surrounded by your framed area,smooth it, (example 5X5 square) get roughly 1/3 yard of pea gravel...buy satisfactory fire pit blocks to make the design you want. Make a circle contained by the center with fire pit blocks (self forming to a circle) , (check to get sure its level, it will form better) surrounded by the center of your framed area. Fill the nouns with pea gravel and a scrubby layer inside the pit. Put another shroud of bricks on top (finished now if of late a basic fire pit is considered necessary,) If you want to add a grill (great for outdoor cooking), you can buy the grill to fit these fire pit blocks, affix more bricks...see link for some concept. You'll get the conception.
They used fancier blocks in this relation.

Its so easy.
I made one a few years ago, and its great.
Go to a truck second-hand goods yard and buy a "centerless" rim. They are something like 22" in diameter. Clear the nouns of grass and any other combustables and lay 4 bricks down. Set the rim on top the bricks and build your fire. This is what most campgrounds I have stayed at enjoy. This way you can also use refrigerator shelves on top for grilling.
