Interested in making a DIY gas firepit. It seems more costly to try to do it myself than buy one. Am I missing something?
How difficult (or is it even possible) to convert a fire pit table from propane to natural gas?

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

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?
