In this video I show you how to build a smokeless fire pit that really works. Coming up with a solution to cutting down on the amount of smoke was important to us and this has really delivered. There are smokeless fire pits that can be bought online and at some stores but they are somewhat small, pricey, and just not our taste. That being said, the reviews said how well they worked so this was my attempt at using the way that they are designed to help eliminate the smoke and turn it into a more standard, larger, and less expensive smokeless fire pit.
Items Used:
36" Fire Ring: amzn.to/2Rev8jC
or 27" Fire Ring: amzn.to/3xWvsUV
Hole Saw Kit: amzn.to/3ucgqIB
12" Retention Wall Pavers

Instead of buying a metal ring, a broken washing machine or a drier is free and has a nice, big metal container inside. Bonus: it already has holes in it, so no need for drilling. Just cut it, invert it so that the holes are on top, and continue as normal with the bricks (making sure to make the top as airtight as possible so that the heated air travels out the holes, you may have to use mortar). Extra bonus: if you have welding skills, weld on pipes at a 45 degree angle to the right or left for the air to travel through. As is rushes through the angled pipes it creates a spinning vortex and you'll get a fire tornado forming.

Thanks for creating this video! I’ve enjoyed all kinds of fire pits over the years while camping and I’ve found the best way to cut down on smoke it to scout for dry hardwood (usually from storm damage) and split it into smaller pieces allowing more air to mix with the fire as opposed to burning large logs. I’ve also noticed that fire pits with high sidewalls block radiant heat so you have to stand almost over the edge of the fire to get warm which can be hard on the eyebrows 😬

Thanks for the video! Was about to build my own firepit and will definitely be using this smokeless method. The only thing I may adjust is spraying some high-temp paint on the drilled holes so the exposed metal doesn't rust as easily since the rest of the ring is treated with high temp paint already.

That's not a bad idea, dude, since there's going to be a lot of oxygen going through them, along with a lot of heat absorbed by them, which is going to promote faster than usual rust.

If you don't have larger fires, maybe go with a slightly smaller ring so the holes are closer to the fire. Both of these should just make it even better. Also, I have a 2nd video showing part 2 of this, would recommend doing that install as well! Thank you for the feedback!

The metal jacket is essential for the effect he is trying to achieve - not merely better general ventilation at the bottom of the fire, but the heat/convection-powered forcing of fresh air into the superheated exhaust stream at the top of the fire, to duplicate the "afterburner" smokeless design of the expensive stainless firebowl shown at the beginning. Merely adding more vents at the bottom helps burning generally, but it does not create the afterburner effect that completes the burning of the exhaust gases.

@How To Home - Good idea & video, thnx! BUT for a true comparison you should lift the fire ring out and try it with just the 3 layers of stone (with the spaces on bottom as u have now). Your previous design was in-ground I believe, with no airflow (= smoke). I've always wanted to see a standard firepit with airflow vs a firepit with a ring & holes design. (The idea being, do you really need a ring to create the draft, or does the fresh air coming straight into the fire at the lower level do the job just as well). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this! It would be easy with your setup.

No need to cut the stones. Stagger the bottom circle with two less stones in a way that will leave the desired cold air inputs the correct size.

Great video thanks. A few questions 1) would it be OK to create space between bottom layer pavers rather then having to cut them at all? 2) Are the retention pavers 12" wide & 12"deep? (I'm trying to figure which size fire ring I should buy if I want the total size of my firepit with pavers to be no larger then 55" diameter) 3) the hole saw kit link you provided is not available is there another you recommend or should I just shop Amazon for cheapest price? #diy girl here that's the reason for all the questions. Thanks!
@HowToHomeDIY
@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад
1) Yes you can, I just didn't want that look personally and wanted only a few opening instead of small ones all the way around as I believe it creates a better vacuum affect but others have said they have had success doing it the other way too. 2) The retention blocks I bought are 4.75" x 11.75" x 6.75". 3) Yeah they sold out of them recently but think they should restock but I also have had luck with my craftsman hole saw kit. Make sure you are getting a kit capable of cutting metal. Even then some of them wear down really fast. I hope I was able to answer all of your question! Glad to hear you are a DIYer, that is what this channel is all about is trying to inspire folks to try to fix and create things on their own! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

You can also just subtract out one block from the bottom and then evenly space out the rest of the blocks around it.

Great video.. I’m going to try this this weekend! I do have a few questions though.. what is the diameter of the holes you drilled, how far apart did you space them, and how far down from the top did you drill them? Are you at all worried about the bricks moving with people putting their feet on it?

Great concept! My concern is any time I've used metal rings is they don't last long. Heat burns off any coating, steel trusts, fire burns rust...two years later the ring is burned through. For that reason I'm working on something incorporating the smokeless design but using fire brick instead of steel.
@jamesglenn520
@jamesglenn520 2 года назад
Did you get it figured out and built 🤔 I would guess that the fire brick would insulate the heat from the outside chamber. The idea is to have super high heat air rushing in to the top to create the re-burn.

@cakeshoe
@cakeshoe 3 года назад
Thanks for that. And just an idea here: regular stones would absorb and conduct a ton of heat, right? Well, if you live in a cold place and have a fire for heat -- that's perfect. But if anyone wants a fire for the aesthetics or for cooking but are in a hot climate (and actually don't want to be warmed up), then experiment with aircrete blocks instead of stone -- they act as insulators -- you may even be able to rest your hand on the outside of the ring while the inside is glowing hot (also prevents kids getting burned fingers)

@ValkyrieIA
@ValkyrieIA 3 года назад
I am curious on the impact the hole size has on the effectiveness. I have one of the solo stoves but it is a bit small and the heat gets directed straight up vs to people sitting around it. The smaller holes on the bonfire create a pretty forceful heated airflow to the top of the pit that eliminates the smoke very well. Do these get pretty good circulation of air?
@einsteinvondaniken
@einsteinvondaniken 2 года назад
If you don't want to break stones, you could build your pit with a thin brick paver placed edgewise between each big stone. Then remove the bricks from the bottom ring, and you have about a 2 inch gap between each stone.

I subscribe to your channel and you gave me some hope with this video for which I am grateful. You see, I am 61 and have never really built things or taken on big home improvement projects; mainly from a lack of confidence perspective, sadly. My wife & I recently bought a house that has a firepit in the backyard but it needs to be redone. I was able to follow your video very well and I liked how you explained each step very thoroughly as you did not hurry through it. Thank you for that! I even watched your follow up video where you answered folks’ questions on this topic. I subscribe to your “How To Home” Channel and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Keep up the good work to teach us how to get things done around the home. :-)
