Anyone around the Louisville area have one? We are moving next week and have a backyard that would allow for a great setup. Have friends that have gone all out on some with expensive brick patio, etc to friends that took rock from the creek and made their own pit.

Any idea on what one would cost with a small stone/brick patio? I have no idea. How much more is it to have a gas line connected to it? Completely clueless on this type of project.

if you bury canisters (read: plastic milk jugs) of high octane gas underneath (with perhaps an inch of so or dirt covering it, so as to not be an eye sore)... you don't have to worry about kindling. just a helpful tip from someone who cares about your good time. toss a flame into that and you got an instant party.

a 50 gallon metal drum with a few holes in it works great. I prefer to make the holes with a .22 pistol. Sit it up in a few bricks and bust up a few pallets for wood. Its nice to stand around warming the hands while sipping on some wild irish rose and singing "Take me back".

I spent about $200 at Lowes and my son and I built something pretty much like this without all the rocks spread across the top. Looks good and works great. If you want paved stone and archways you can spend thousands, but this works well for us. If we end up wanting something more elaborate, it will be easy to tear apart and let the professionals take a shot at it--but so far so good.

If you really want to do it right, bury a pipe underneath that comes out downhill to allow for a "draw". Cover the pipe with large rock. Install a grate to lay wood on.

These are as easy as can be. I got my bricks from Tracy Sand and Gravel in Frankfort.

Pics aren't loading. I'll post them later.

What you're gonna want to do is get as many local government officials as possible involved in this project. If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, you should definitely get them involved as well.

By doing this it will ensure everything goes smoothly and on schedule.

Good idea. I have already contacted our HOA, local Fire Chief and emailed Hilary to get support on this delicate project. I wanted it in by the end of September but now its looking more like late spring/early summer 2017. Not too far off.
