    That looks fantastic! Thanks for the credit too. Most channels don't do that. 😂 I have found that making sure the fire touches the sides helps get them hot enough to get the smokeless effect. I always build my fires wide. Awesome job, it looks beautiful! 👊

    To make the posts less wobbly, put a few screws with about 50% of the screw sticking out in random places on the posts in areas that will be covered by the cement. Then pour the cement in. It will give the cement more to grab on to once it sets.

    • @JacobAnawalt
      @JacobAnawalt 2 роки тому +4

      Idk, I’m tempted to file this in “sounds good in theory, but not in practice”
      I’ve never done it seen this done and center set posts were fine. It makes me wonder how long before the screw corroded. The bigger issue was post placement in the hole and maybe the “mix in hole” method. I’ve also never seen it done that way.

    • @iluomopeloso
      @iluomopeloso 2 роки тому +1

      @@JacobAnawalt Definitely the placement. I used to work for a deck/fence installation crew, and we always poured dry quickcrete into the post holes. It would probably have helped if he'd put some sort of footing in the hole first, too. Just a busted up brick in the hole before dropping the post in there.

  • @jth086
    @jth086 2 роки тому +21

    Looks great. As for the posts. I'm not a professional, but my personal rule is to have the width of a post be the outside circle around the post. So, for your 6" post, your total outside hole diameter would be 18". I also use the rule of 1' of depth for every 4' of height above ground. It may seem like overkill for some applications, but I'd rather it be way too sturdy than flimsy at all, primarily because you never know what you might want to do in the future and having it overbuilt is better than having to completely redo it later.

    Great job thanks for showing the mistakes…that’s the most helpful part. For a smokeless fire the fire itself has to be below the holes. The holes add extra oxygen to the top of the flame for a secondary burn that eliminates the smoke. If you overfill any solo stove it will smoke just like any other fire.

    nice job. 2 things I would have done a bit differently.
    1) since your internet connection runs right through the middle, why not move the entire "patio" over 10' so it doesn't? Murphy's Law dictates that if there is a problem with that cable, it will be directly beneath the "patio"
    2) using that vent pipe for air intake is good idea. but why not move it out beyond the edge of the "patio" where it is more open to the surrounding air?
    Just my 2 cents.
    You did do a great job.

    • @TheFixFinder
      @TheFixFinder  2 роки тому +6

      For number 1. I positioned it in that spot because of future plans for a porch area over our back patio that will be complimented by the fire pit and off that patio a walkway that connects the patio to fire pit and our back sliding door, walkway, and firepit will all be in line with each other.
      2. You could do that if you wanted. My thought is this way you don’t have to worry about grass growing up around it or being messed up with weed eater or mower whereas with it coming up around the pavers it stays neat and clean.
      Thanks for the kind words!

      @TheFixFinder  Рік тому +1

      I think they were 10in. because the 6x6 and two 2x's are about 8 1/2in. thick, so that gives enough room for washer and nut. Thanks! Appreciate it!

    How is it smokeless? Won't that hole get filled with Ash ? Where do you put all those things from the build like the saw and trailer

    • @TheFixFinder
      @TheFixFinder  2 роки тому +2

      The air vent helps the fire breath really well to help keep it smokeless. The holes on the drain cover are big enough to not get clogged with the ash. Shop vac can clean up the ash really easy too.

    Quick question: How did you bend your foamcore? Did you use a special kind?

    • @TheFixFinder
      @TheFixFinder  Рік тому +1

      It was only a half inch thick board so it was pretty flexible. I have a follow up video on how my cement ring ended up failing. I just gave up on trying to do it, so I don’t have one now.

  • @SithLandlord

    Looks great. Only comment I would make is you should put some patio edging around it so it doesn't shift over time. This will ensure your pavers are in the same place 5 years from now.

    • @TheFixFinder
      @TheFixFinder  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you! That is a good thought, although from how it has held up so far it doesn’t seem like it’s going to shift easily with what I used. That may change after a while though🤷‍♂️

    I like that the @HAXMAN gave you a shout out for your shout out.
    The top ring one piece idea was something I was planning to go for. As I watched I was curious how you were gonna lift it. Then I cringed multiple times during the moving and laying part.
    I was shocked and happy that it didn’t break on you. I know you said you used fiber in the cement but I plan to use some rebar.
    Well done!

    • @TheFixFinder
      @TheFixFinder  Місяць тому

      Yeah that was pretty cool of him!
      It ended up cracking apart on me do to the heat and the fiber mix concrete didn’t help. Small Rebar of some kind would definitely be better. Another video I gave it another try and it failed even more. I decided to just do without and also ended up removing a layer of edging pavers from the height of the ring.
      Thanks for the compliment!

    Great job, though you sand looks to be blocking off the lower inlets of the Haxman smokeless fire pit idea.

    • @TheFixFinder
      @TheFixFinder  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you! It is blocking the air from coming in beneath the fire ring so it will come up the channel in between the ring and pavers and in the holes at the top.
