I am building a retaining wall which will be the back drop of a gas fire pit. I was planning the following: Inner diameter = 55 inches (140cm) 36" SS fire ring Outside diameter = 80 inches (200 cm) Height of pit walls = 20 inches (50 cm) Walk way around fire pit = 28 to 35 inches (70 to 90cm) The built in seats will be 18 inches (45cm) deep and the back will be 26 inches (60cm) high. I am freaking out because I am questioning: 1. Will this be too big? 2. Will we be too far from the fire? 3. Will my propane tank provide enough pressure (65 feet or 20m from the pit. 4. Is it better to have the SS fire ring be the same size as the fire pit. All you fire pit kings, thanks for your help. Keep in mind that it is a hard built structure, so I will have to live will all the dimensions I go with. Thanks. Patrick

I have just purchased a copper fire pit on a wrought iron stand. I am wanting to not only use it for a camp fire but to roast hot dogs and marshmallows on. I know the fire logs that can purchased are convenient but can't be cooked with because of how they are treated. I am a single mom new to this fire starting thing. Can someone please tell me how to get a good fire started in a fire pit and keep the flame going? Thanks!

I am bricking over my concrete patio and wondering if I can make a fire pit at the same time. I am thinking of using concrete bricks. Is there anything specific that I need to know? Like, should I lay something on the bottom?

I am looking for a rough cost to buidl a fire pit. I need to have the propane line pulled probably about 12 - 15 feet. I think it has to go underground? Also, I want the fire pit to be roughly 4' in diameter and probably around 3-4' in height made out of stone with the top "open". Thanks!
