Need advice - Natural Gas Fire Pit Insert Size
Make your own it’s super easy. I used soft copper tubing with a Tee in the center then spiral wound the legs. Turned out I went way overboard because once it’s covered in rocks it doesn’t matter much anymore. A ‘X’ shape would work ok or a circle fed in the center. Just start with very small holes and space then out- it takes very few to get a decent flame pattern
More on reddit.comInterested in making a DIY gas firepit. It seems more costly to try to do it myself than buy one. Am I missing something?

Excited to have our Unilock patio installed in a few weeks. We are including the 'River Crest Fire Pit' system available from Unilock. The diameter for the fire pit insert is 34-34.5".

We have looked at natural gas inserts like the one below...it is 20" in diameter.

Napolean says they make them in diameters of 20", 48" and 60".
Would the 20" I've linked to work? What is done with the additional 14"?

Does the "'River Crest Fire Pit' system" have ventilation of the pit, out of the sides? Something like 2 4" x 10" openings with grills or screen?
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?
