Start building yours today by following the tutorial below.
Materials:
- 36″ fire ring or 27″ fire ring
- hole saw kit
- 12″ retention wall pavers
Directions:
Step 1
To get started, get the fire ring, then assemble it. Place the fire ring in the designated place. Next, start layering the lowest level of the stones that are going to be stacked around the pit. Make sure to leave a 1 and 1/2 inch gap between the fire ring and the stones. This will introduce cool air that will make it smokeless. Now, for air to actually pass to the pocket that was made, remove four pieces of the stones that were stacked around and fill it with just half of the stones. This will create a passageway for air to pass. To do this, break two stones out of those four using a masonry chisel and a nice size mallet. (Be very careful with this step.)

Step 2
After you broke down the stones in half, put one in each of the gaps. Continue with the second layer of the stones. Take a hole saw and cut some holes all the way around the top part of the fire ring. Finally, add another row of stones around the fire pit.
