Hey all - I'm looking for fire pit ideas for a house we just bought. We have a big backyard, and we're looking to build a gazebo or pergola with a built-in fire pit so we can use the space year-round. The thing that's always bugged me is how much heat gets wasted as it emanates upward more than outward. Any suggestions for a design that traps the heat or positions the end-users slightly above (not in a "cooking" position of course) the fire pit?
I like the simple stones with with a metal fire pit. Can be done pretty easily, but can throw as much money as you want at it I suppose.
You can get vb logos and others cut into them now too! Pretty flash Or use an old washing machine tub But pintrest would have ideas for the fully sick ones. It'll be on my radar next year for one i think
I've built a basic brick one, haven't ever felt the need to put myself further 'over' the flames, if anything I seem to get too hot! Plus smoke would be an issue. Perhaps you could arrange the seating in a way that had some spots closer to the fire?
