I saw this post almost a year ago, and thought it was the best tutorial on building a fireplace that I’ve found. Well, it took me a while, but I’m just about done…I need to put a cap on top. Take a look at how mine came out. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMR5UVEtsnIVnCvmuNekgKLlSvL99ymBv?si=JkQa6lJNP_-GnlPr

Thank you so much for uploading all of these videos! I've been looking to make something just like this! Subscribed!

are those just run of the mill pavers for the garden or are they some kind of fire paver?

A larger pipe will have less heat transfer. Several smaller pipes would be better.

You would be better off with multiple smaller piping in ground to exchange heat easier

OK, I am building this now and had a quick question for you regarding the lining of the firebox. You don't use one. What is your rationale for not lining the firebox with fire bricks? Thanks so much for your consideration. I also think we are going to make the cooking fireplace too.

Thank you…!! This looks really good

I JUST LOVE how you are using cement for a rock finish....so cool

I'm waiting for HD to deliver my bricks for this project. Thanks man

Could you use red instead of gray? Is it the same product?

thank you so much

Wonderful job !!!

How many pavers and what is the outside measurements and opening measurement

Dude. You're the real Jeremiah Johnson

Wow this is very nice i wanted to see it with the fire going. Thanks i learned a lot!

Hello Sir, Would out tell me the size boards you used for the walls, the notch sizes, and what you chinked with, please? Thank you.

PLEASE could you give me the dimensions of those bricks.

Wow, Amazing work !

Looks awesome!

Did you do any kind of footer or is you cinder blocks the footer??? do you have a spark arrester or a cap??? Looks cool I want to do one. But it needs dressing up.

This looks awesome...I'm gonna try this technique over the next summer with a project I'm thinking of doing.

Why don’t you use fire brick?

Looking forward to part 3. Looks great, love all your videos. Appreciate your ideas.

This looks great! My only concern is the angle irons. Do I need a specific size? I’m worried they won’t support the weight of the chimney and collapse….What about a cap? How do you keep the rain out?

3×6 inch wastewater flexible nonporous piping works perfectly. You need 100 feet out and 100 feedback so 200 foot when it’s 90° out you’ll be blowing 55° air into the room and a bigger fans a good idea.

'hotter than Satan's ass' ;)

Just a FYI, I suggest cutting grooves on the two blocks the angle irons sit on, so they are level with the blocks. That way the blocks stacked on top of them aren't tilted and you don't end up with a gap for smoke to leak out. My angle iron is 1/4" thick so I cut the block down with a saw with a masonary blade in it set a 1/4". I also painted my angle irons with high temp paint to keep them from rusting over time.

Try this: Build an underground chamber that pulls cool air into your place near the floor and put a dome ceiling with a fan that exhausts hot air out the top of your home. I noticed our basement was always cool year round, so we put fanned vents between the first floor and basement that pulled that cool air up from the basement, then vented the ceiling to draw the hot air out and our cooling bill plummeted. We reverse the fans in the floor in the cold months to warm the basement.

I just built mine a couple days ago. I built mine 10 ft. High so the chimney would be over the roof of our patio. It's so nice to have my morning coffee out on the patio by the fire and evenings are especially gratifying next to the fireplace. They are so easy to build I can't see why anyone would'nt want one in their backyard!

men!!! Efficiency failure, put your intake on the ceiling and the output level on the floor or a foot higher. Then add an electric fan to circulate the air

The reason why the house is not cooling down is because you don't have an attic fan to pull hot air out. Run an attic fan as well as the underground pipe fan then you will see a difference. Also, instead of putting 10 inch pipe down the tunnel, you can spend the time and money to build an outside shell, at least a foot away around the cabin instead. Air's R value is 3.6 per inch. One ft will have 43.

Dude I so love your lifestyle - from the dry brick builds to the food - how do you not have more subscribers ❤

Could you do another update on this?

What size angle iron?

Got one built and I can't thank you enough. If I figure out how to send you a picture then I will. Cheers

With restriction of 6", the only resolve, is to increase air flow. Unless.you cut the furthest section& make the two 6" pipes both returns,& your intake shielded from direct heat. Rearrangement of existing structure, minimizing work done.of trenching,& upgrading.you want bigger exchange. Volume air flow. The intake could be like a ac condenser- a water cooled tubing chamber, like radiator. Bulk of water could be a underground water reservoir, maintaining temperature intake.via a circulation pump,manual thermostatically controlled, as per heat of the day. Yet adjustable. Great work. Good luck. With variables.

Nice video. Question ? Can you safely burn in this without fire brick? I've seen where concrete can explode with too much heat?

If the cabin is 95 degrees, of course it's not going to cool it down, because you are blowing hot air through your tubing and it's just recirculating the hot air. Now if you were near a creek or a large spring, you could run your tubing through that and you would get a cooling effect.

I wish you showed outside temp and air temp coming out of vent using the same device.

I feel like your problem is not size but conductance. Smaller pipe in longer distance would probably give you better results. But corrugated or solid pvc, neither is anywhere near conductive enough. Copper tubing would be great if you could go from a larger size into multiple smaller tubes over long distances. I've seen "earth ship" homes in the desert that have a long pipe come out the back that flows through large buried hillsides, but its metal corrugated pipe, not plastic. The conductivity is so much greater with metal.

Cost wife go with 2x 6 inch to acheave same circumference of ciotact in total.? Maybe cost wise and ease of install is to consider. Run the material cost number.

I was hoping you'd build a fire in it to show how the chimney pulls the smoke up and feeds the fire with air. But thanks for sharing! Good job!

Nice work!! Why didn’t you put your fan outside? A lot less noise

thanks, man

Put your exhaust close to the ceiling and your supply close to the floor. It will remove the hottest air from your home and exchange the heat into the ground. Use longer tubes for more heat exchange.

Wow this is amazing

What if instead of using the small fan to push air through and worry about potential of mildew, use a dehumidifier, have it drain itself outside also. Larger fan pushes more air.

Dang those concrete pavers are $3 a piece at my local Lows. Guess I can thank Sleepy Joe for that.

I’ve been looking for a how to video on this for years. Thank you sir!

In the complete build video, I thought you mentioned another version, open on all 4 sides? Am I wrong? Link please?
