A fire pit can be a cozy place to relax or a great place to grill.
If you want to sit back and relax or cook dinner outside to give your kitchen appliances a break then this is a project for you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

    Choose an open area to start building. A small out of the way place where you want the pit.

    Start by clearing a place. Dig a small trench where the brick can lay in a circle pattern.

    doesn't get easier.

    On the next layer you will need to do the same to adjust the bricks.
    Once you have them laded where they fit together like you want them.

  4. Step 4

    Then you can pick up
    each brick on at a time and put some liquid nails on the bottom and
    place it firmly back in its place.
    When all the second row is glued you can move to the third layer. Doing the same thing over again.

  5. Step 5

    Add as many rows as you want to reach the desired height.
    Wait for a few days to allow to become dry before lighting a fire in it .
    This pit is not only a fire pit but place a grate on top and use it as a grill.
