Anvilbrother 0 #1 October 10, 2005 I am looking for plans or tips for an outdoor fireplace. I already have a in ground piped natural gas bbq pit, so this will strictly be for fires. I have a 4X4 spot already formed and pored around with concrete. All I know about building one, is I need to use firebricks, and the right type of morter. Any help or plans would rock!

skinnyshrek 0 #3 October 10, 2005 Any chance you can send me a pic of where you are building so i can get an idea I used to be in the stone businesshttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azureriders 0 #4 October 10, 2005 IMPORTANT NOTE: Concrete will explode if you build a fire on it. I have been in residential construction for 15yrs and have saw this proven many times. Its just like throwing a rock from the driveway into the fire and wait for it to get extremely hot and then it pops, sending ashes and coals all over the place. Now think about how many rocks are in concrete. It can be quiet dangerous. But like you said, you must use fire brick and mortar and be sure to cover the concrete with a layer of those fire bricks. Other than that I dont have much advise, just be careful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #5 October 10, 2005 We have a concrete fire ring in the backyard, a 24" diameter sewer coupler. Think that'll stand up to the occasional bonfire? I guess it really doesn't mater if it does crack, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anvilbrother 0 #7 October 10, 2005 I am a firefighter, I know about concrete and "spawling". It is not going to be built on concrete, I have just already poured the spot where I am going to build the fireplace around. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.
