My first real DIY project - backyard fire pit
While it didn't turn out perfect, I'm proud of this one. I watched hours and hours of YouTube smokeless fire pit and came up with this configuration. The spaces at the bottom feed oxygen to the fire, and the ones in the middle feed air to the secondary combustion chamber which should help push the smoke back into the fire. I added a high-temp silicone sealant to the fire pit ring and drilled air holes too. Only thing left to do is apply high temp mortar to the bricks, but I'll do that another day. What I would have done differently: - Done a better job digging a perfect circle, tied a string to a post and spray can and marked it clearly rather than eyeballing it - Picked larger bricks so they sit together better, this many smaller bricks has been hard to keep even - Dug a little less deeply submitted by /u/shockwave_supernova [link] [comments]
