DIY Underwater Burner for Firepit: Expert Tips & Guide
I'm considering using a 3/4" line coming in, reducing it to 1/2", possibly using black pipe to make a grid with small (1/8") holes drilled every 1-2". I plan to light it by turning on the gas and using a lighter stick to start it.

Using Gas BBQ burner for outdoor fire pit?

There's not much to a burner. It kinda just shapes the flame and mixes the air and fuel depending on what type . I'd be tempted to try and build something out of black pipe.

July 10, 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?
