Fire pit designs emphasize form, function
Feb 04, 6424 | Experts offer several tips regarding wood- and gas-fire pits:
Consider your lifestyle when choosing one. Are you prepared to stock wood and build a real fire? Are there any restrictions in your area? Do you have the space around the pit for safety and proper fire management?
Put a fire pad under the pit if you're placing it on a wood deck. A 4-foot surround of brick, stone or slate will provide a nonflammable barrier.
Place the pit in a clean, clutter-free area with no foliage overhangs and lots of ventilation.
Have a licensed professional install your natural-gas fire pit. Keep lines free of cobwebs and soot at all times.
Have safety gloves, a screen and, ideally, a lid available; gloves are useful for handling hot metal parts, screens protect from flying sparks, and a lid will seal off the pit from oxygen when you're done.
Build small fires first, so you can see what's happening with wind patterns, before building medium fires. Never build a large blaze in

How can I make an awesome fire pit that doesn't blow smoke in my face?
Apr 15, 2009 by Traffic Star
I want to make a huge fire at my cottage that doesn't blow smoke in my face, and also doesn't make a lot of smoke.
I can design any sort of fire pit but I don't want to use suction and I don't want to make it like a fireplace where the fire rises like in a chimney.
Any cool ideas for fire pits? Stones to use, smoke not rising etc?
Where there's smoke there's fire, as the saying goes. The same holds true transversely. If you want to enjoy a fire pit you're going to get smoke in your face from time to time.
The best you can do to combat this, barring a ridiculous exhaust fan contraption, is to be sure to use dry wood. Damp, or freshly cut wood will smoke you out every time. And if you are having a fire on a windy night, that will be a bit of a problem too. If you keep the flames high the convection will carry the smoke away with it. Keep it hot and keep it dry. When it starts to smoke, add more dry wood. Do this and you will rarely be bothered, but you will still be bothered from time to time. Suck it up. You're outside. Next you'll be wanting air conditioning when the fire gets too hot? Princess. ;)
I want to build a fire pit into my deck?
May 19, 2009 by Ms. AEL
I saw a brick fire pit and I am wondering what is the best way to put this into my deck? I have seen the design before, but I am not certain how that will affect the wood. Suggestions?
I wouldn't recommend building a fire pit into your deck, as sparks could jump out and catch the decking on fire. However, you can lay a base of brick on the deck and set a free standing fire pit on top of the deck. Hope this helps.
