DIY Propane Fire Pit: How to Build a Fire Pit
March 9, 2023 - Depending on your desired height of the panel, and overall height of your fire pit, your number of layers will vary, but just embed the panel into the stones. Score and break a stone if needed to fit the panel as desired. In our case, we were able to adjust the gaps to fit the panel without breaking a brick. You can use construction adhesive to hold the ignitor in place. The gas line that ran through the ground to the propane tank can be connected now.

r/DIY on Reddit: Interested in making a DIY gas firepit. It seems more costly to try to do it myself than buy one. Am I missing something?
July 7, 2024 -

So as the title states I'm doing research for a natural gas fire pit. I have a gas line for my pool heater near where I want to build the fire pit so I planned on extending this for the fire pit (my BIL is a plumber so he would help with gas piping). After looking into it, it seems way more expensive to build my own with landscape blocks, purchase a burner table, burner controls, burner than to just by one already assembled. Am I going about this wrong?

See links I am referencing:

52 landscape blocks for a 36" firepit

38" burner table

30" burner

I’m well over a thousand dollars and this isn’t even including the rocks to fill the pan, material for gas pipe, etc. Anyone have experience with this?

How to Create Your Own Gas Fire Pit – Fire Pits Direct Canada
March 18, 2020 - Some of our manufacturers have different regulations for burner size, but a good rule of thumb is to have three inches between the edge of the burner and the inside edge of your pan on all sides, so a difference of six inches between burner size and inside fire pit dimensions. For both propane and natural gas, 36 square inches of ventilation is required to create proper air flow within your fire pit.
