It did show the first step you should take when planning a small yard: get your measurements & plan what you want & check to see if you've got the room for it to function. Other than that, agreed.
In my experience with fire pits they are awesome but best if you have the extra vented variety. The ability to draw in air from underneath really makes them less smokey and more enjoyable. Even just having a grate underneath the fire can help a bunch. Everyone loves sitting around the fire but no one likes a face full of smoke. This type of ring will likely smoke a lot because its difficult to draw in air from the sides/bottom of the pit. Years ago I had a really nice freestanding steel pit that had airvents and a nice ledge. Unfortunately it's ling since rusted/gone but I preferred it to most pits because it breathes and burned cleaner. Before putting in a pit I might shop some other designs for ones better ventilated. Also if you have one of the steel pits be cautious of allowing them to get covered in snow and rain because they rust out easier than you might expect.
@@brianglade848 Actually a fire with side vents or built over a grate allows the fire to draw non - combusted higher O2 air from below and exhaust the hot air out the top. Both outside but one built differently. Personally I've owned and constructed a dozen fire pits/I'm an avid campfire enthusiast/backpacker/read the scouts manuel on making fire AND I have a BS in Physics. I assure you there is a difference. Maybe listen to people with grey hair who are experts before calling people dumdum. Maybe research the topic a bit or visit any National park campground or look at a charcoal BBQ grill or spend some time around campfires or take a class in chemistry or physics or building science at your local community college. Or perhaps just don't call people names. I'm making my suggestions based off of decades of experience - established science- patents like Deets lanterns. What exactly are you basing your insult on? I offered kind advice and you offered an insult?
Hi ikantspell4 have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
Everytime this show features 'digging', or other laborious tasks, it is apparent to me, that off camera, other than those shown, do the actual work. JMO
"I like to melt the bottoms off of my shoes!" Sorry, but this wasn't really masonry work. This was just assembly work after making sure to do a good job prepping the base.
Unfortunately, the reference to circumference is wrong. He should have referred to the diameter - which is the distance across the circle through the center. i. e. Circumference = pi x Diameter
We gave him a ATOH timeout over that horrible blunder. He took a huge pay cut and we fined him as well. He learned his lesson. Along with that the editorial staff was severely disciplined for leaving in that unfortunate situation . Thanks for your input. Check the description for details for a free ATOH hat and tshirt for your keen observation. Thanks again, Ed- ATOH production team.
Insert big long comment I copied from the better homes and gardens website talking about fire pit do's and don'ts and tweek it a bit to make it my own. Then wait for the clams to show up and climb into the kettle of "bowlin wahta". Then go get Tohmee and the gang, don't forget the buhta and the seaznin salt! :)
I solved this by just buying an huge above ground firebowl with a swing grate for cooking etc. Just some nice patio blocks with a design for the base embedded into the ground. Ive done it this way before as well, but if I ever move, I can take my Pit with me at least. Plus it wasnt as time consuming as this. But this works just as well
For starting a new yard, I would first check the drainage pattern to make sure water is going where you want. Then start doing things like patios, beds, and fire pits.
No offense but burn pits are soooo 1970s. IMO they make the yard smell repulsive. Here it's illegal to burn yard waste so I'm actually actively fighting against burn-culture.
@@brianglade848 Your home needs to be exchanging 15 CFM of fresh air per person or you're poisoning yourself with our own used-air. It's not unreasonable for my county to enforce 300ft away from homes you don't own unless it's recreational & less than once every 60 days.
@@brianglade848 The only thing you've said is Karen. I also have white house trim so please make sure your hydrophobic soot doesn't dirty the things I've cleaned.
