Is there a special mortar for fire bricks in a fire pit?
Comments (0)When you build a fire pit do you need to use a special mortar? What premix mortar is best? How thick should it be mixed?...See MoreFire Bowls and Fire pits?
Comments (4)I utilize fire rings from Cunningham Gas Products. On firebowls I use the 6" and on firepits I use the 18" or larger depending on the size of the firepit. If your placing the firebowl on top of a pool beam you must use a sleeve through the gunite and then run a copper tube through the sleeve. Noble Tile has some fire bowls that range from very affordable to very expensive. Try Googling Noble swimming pool tile for their website. I would definitely suggest using a plumber to make your gas installation on either of these features. This is a job for Pro's, many people have no idea of just how volatile Natural Gas is.

Comments (27)hoosier, you are definitely on the right forum, these ladies are a wealth of information and some of the nicest folks you'll ever get to know. Their good advise is always spot on and they don't seem to mind telling of their experience. I sometimes am embarrassed to ask a silly question, but they always jump in and answer me! They have gotten me thru multiple projects and I'm sure there will be more questions from me in the future! They advised me to put a layer of thinset on a manaquin, that I am still working on by the way, and my tess is adhering just fine. I don't have a lot left to finish on it but my time to work on it just doesn't seem to be there lately! Good luck on your fire pit cover, I know it will be amazing!...See MoreBuilt-in fire pit or portable? I could use some advice!
Comments (18)Here's what I've found: I know this has little to do with the fact that you're asking about portable or fixed, but I was concerned about wood-burning or propane unit: 1 - The ones with the glass rocks that use propane (whether portable or not) aren't as warm as a roaring fire in a wood-burning unit. 2 - Glass rocks are prettier than the wood, but there's something so cool about a roaring fire as opposed to a pretty one 3 - Guys love throwing wood and sticks into an open flame. 4 - Flame from wood-burning keeps the bugs away, and it makes for a cozy atmosphere at night. It even spreads a good amount of warmth - Fun times with drinks, and marshmallows (Need to buy extra long sticks on Amazon- then toss in fire afterward). You cannot roast marshmallows on the unit with glass rocks without ruining the rocks. 5 - You will come into your house smelling like fire when you sit at a wood-burning unit. 6 - If you use something portable, you can move it to adjust the party size layout.
