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! 👊
Dang, HUGE project with a great final result. People don't realize how much extra work all the filming and editing adds to something like this. Nice job man.
I'm sure all the editing and whatnot takes a decent bit of time and work. But, it doesn't add much to the actual project other than setting up and turning on a camera.
@@Sublime_1 often that's true. But in this video there were a ton of different camera angles throughout, which makes it super engaging to watch. And that's a lot to do if you're working on a project by yourself.
@@Sublime_1 maybe if you only set up 1 angle for a Timelapse of the whole project, but setting up a ton of different angles throughout the whole time definitely adds up
@@BroBuilds I did notice, after my comment, that you did a lot of different angles. I was wondering if it was different cameras, but, obviously not. I bet you did spend some time, getting the angles. Hats off to ya man, it makes for a much better video, but, I wouldn't have the patience for it personally. Good video, and the fire pit looks nice.
Looks like an awesome place to sip a whiskey and enjoy a roaring fire with the people you love. Bravo, buddy. Your hard work paid off. You've inspired me!
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.
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.
@@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.
Not the best idea. Rusted screws will split the wood/concrete. Just mix the cement properly. ppl need to stop dry pouring cement on things that aren't just surface corrections.
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.
Renaissance man! This sure was a lot of hard work but you saved a boat load of money- not to mention the pride and satisfaction of creating something beautiful. Great work
Very well done. I too am planning a smokeless fire pit for our backyard. I have used the "dakota" fire pit for stealth camping and those have always worked great.
@@TheFixFinder Awesome! Love to hear it. I know when I added the pipe, there was a noticeable difference. Glad to see you installed it early on instead of after the fact like I did haha.
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.
Thanks for watching! That makes sense, I am going to be doing some modifications sometime and will make more videos on improving the design I went with.
Wow!!!!! Outstanding job, I am totally impressed! I have been watching tons of videos and looking at fire pit kits online! Your seating area looks beautiful and very professional. I love your stone fire pit design as well. Thank you for sharing the entire process!
Great example of how you can take one (or two) awesome jobs and use them with your own skills to make something even more amazing! It looks great and I'm sure ya'll are enjoying the heck out of this setup with the weather being colder now.
Thanks so much! Well I lived in South East Florida for the last 10 years until moving this past year, so that may have been closer to you! 😂 Now I am back to being a hoosier boy.
This was refreshing to watch. Someone not so arrogant to admit mistakes or that there may be better ideas. Definitely gave me some ideas for my back deck project.
One thing I know is there is always someone that will know more than you. I am just here to share the things I do with what I know and hopefully give a decent idea for someone else to use and even improve on. I am always ready to learn. Glad you got some ideas! Thanks for the kind words!
Very well produced and your attention to detail is obvious. Awesome! Id like to see an 8 mos review: what works well, what would you do different. We watched then asked ourselves, “does it work? Was the drain effective?” Other then that we watched a lot of work for something that does look nice.
Thanks! Appreciate it. I have plans on a follow up I would like to do sometime soon on a few improvements I would like to make. The airflow coming from underneath seemed to help it burn a little hotter.
You’ve done an awesome job and very proud of your accomplishment ! I see some happy gatherings in this chill out spot with family and friends. Blessings to you and your family and friends !!!!! I had a friend of mine create for me a seven foot in circumference diamond wire grate . My hopes are to create a really nice gathering spot that can be used year round. Once again great job !!!!
Nice job on the build. My back was hurting watching you lay those pavers! Hahaha. Did you ever get it as smokeless as you want it? Gotta love HAXMAN and especially for him stopping by. Wishing you happiness. Enjoy the journey.
YOU MADE YOUR OWN FIRERING? bruh... that's next level. You did an amazing job. I've been researching how to do the breather hole and I really like your method. Thanks for including your mistakes so I will *hopefully* not make them lol. Great video sir!!!! And GREAT Firepit!!!
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.
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!
Thanks! I did have a follow up video about some of that, but mainly the height of the fire pit walls and the bottom inside changed to concrete were the main things I changed
1:36 I have that same tiller Troy Built Horse its the best tiller ever made super expensive as nobody makes them like that anymore to last forever. Ask your buddy if he knows it has a PTO you can hook up a generator too or that you can pump water with the optional torque pulley its nuts. that thing was designed to be the power source for entire poor villages in Africa through an enterprise level R&D project to bring prosperity to arid Africa through innovative agricultural machinery. its unbelievable and contains honda formula 1 driver cage engineering for strength as it can pull a truck NP with the included extra low separated towing gear.
Please dont just put Wood directly in contact with the ground. It will just start to rot really quickly. Put a Metal cover around it, it will also stabilize the pole when the metal sticks into the ground a bit more.
That will actually end up being a future video, because the heat did end up causing it to crack, I will end up redoing it and reinforcing it like I should have. Fiber mix didn’t work out too well for holding it together.
@@TheFixFinder ok that’s good. Smoke didn’t used to bother me, but now, it’s like instant headache. Big reason I never did a fire pit. But may have to try this.
Good work! Give some time for the fire pit to warm up, it may take over an hour since the size. Expensive commercial ones takes time too to work smokeless
Great job and loved it when you mentioned all the booboos down the road, honestly that helps future builders. Keep your smile and enjoy smokeless fire pit.
You should have built the Dakota Fire pit portion where the air vent comes to feed the side of the fire, and not under the fire. Generally Dakota pits are not as wide where the fire is contained. Helps isolate airflow.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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! 👊

Is it good to dry set the concrete like that or is it better to mix it in a wheelbarrow I’ve never dealt with concrete

Good thinking on that sand cement mix rather than polymeric sand. I've used it on multiple projects and it works just fine.
Yeah I tried that polymeric stuff on my newer project doing a paver patio and I’m not a huge fan of it.
adding this to the bucket list, nice one bro

Any tips on the actual design/brick layout?
Hi. Not very handy but planning on trying a smokeless firepit. what diameter did you do for it and where did you buy the metal insert?
Nice job. The swing is an uncommon idea by a fire pit but outside the box thinking. Swing is a 👍.
Thank you!
You did and awesome job
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Looks great! How many feet was your border from the fire pit?
About 6 feet from the brick around the fire ring to the outside, so about 15 -16 ft total across. I would recommend minimum 16ft.
1:36 I have that same tiller Troy Built Horse its the best tiller ever made super expensive as nobody makes them like that anymore to last forever. Ask your buddy if he knows it has a PTO you can hook up a generator too or that you can pump water with the optional torque pulley its nuts. that thing was designed to be the power source for entire poor villages in Africa through an enterprise level R&D project to bring prosperity to arid Africa through innovative agricultural machinery. its unbelievable and contains honda formula 1 driver cage engineering for strength as it can pull a truck NP with the included extra low separated towing gear.

Great job thanks for the video! Enjoy.
Thanks for watching!
You did a great job by yourself you needed some help right there at the end to lift that ring
I wished I could’ve helped you !
Thanks for the kind words! It wasn’t too bad, the right leverage goes a long way
How many paver bricks did you use for the ground? I want to do the same style circle but 14 ft instead
If I remember right it was close to 700. Honestly, I would recommend 16ft as a good minimum size. But it depends on how big the fire ring is.
Nice work!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
I was wondering if you've had any trouble with the heat causing the moisture popping the concrete ring?
That will actually end up being a future video, because the heat did end up causing it to crack, I will end up redoing it and reinforcing it like I should have. Fiber mix didn’t work out too well for holding it together.
Looks great. I was intrigued by the smokeless portion as smoke bothers my sinuses. This all looks beautiful, but I still saw plenty of smoke.
I noticed it definitely does make a different when the fire gets nice and hot
@@TheFixFinder ok that’s good. Smoke didn’t used to bother me, but now, it’s like instant headache. Big reason I never did a fire pit. But may have to try this.
You did awesome; looks great!
Thank you!
nice job man that came out very sharpe!!
Thank you!
Good job man.
Thank you!
Good work! Give some time for the fire pit to warm up, it may take over an hour since the size. Expensive commercial ones takes time too to work smokeless
Great job and loved it when you mentioned all the booboos down the road, honestly that helps future builders.
Keep your smile and enjoy smokeless fire pit.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
Just got urself another follower my friend. Great job. I’ll be doing something like this to my home inspired by u. Keep the vids coming
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m going to have more fire pit tweaks eventually. That’s my plan, just to keep uploading! 😄
This is very inspiring bro I can’t wait to get my own house to do the same 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Hey thanks so much! It really is amazing to own a house! It takes work and effort to maintain and improve, but I love doing it!
You should have built the Dakota Fire pit portion where the air vent comes to feed the side of the fire, and not under the fire. Generally Dakota pits are not as wide where the fire is contained. Helps isolate airflow.
That came out real good
Appreciate the kind words!

Yep there is always room for improvement! Thanks!
Very nice!! Thank you.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!
Good job looks great
Thanks! Appreciate it!
What size bolts did you use for this? Love the work you did!
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!
awesome job.
Thank you!
Incredible build and videoing!
Thank you!
Curious what the cost of the pavers was for the 15 foot circle. Thank you.
I got them free, but I suggest looking at Facebook marketplace for finding cheaper.
Nice work man.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Can you link to the how to home smokeless thing too? That sounds great, I wanna see both and get the inspiration!
You can get some ideas here ua-cam.com/video/j_nflnmm9fk/v-deo.html
So, upon completion, how well did it perform regarding being smokeless….?? Thanks
Once it gets nice and hot it does pretty well
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
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.
Very nice job man, great stuff!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Quick question: How did you bend your foamcore? Did you use a special kind?
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.
@@TheFixFinder oh dang! So is your advice not to do one at all? I’m starting this project in a couple of days and that’s the biggest unknown.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@TheFixFinder oh I gotcha. Maybe more holes in the ring or extend the skirt down?
You’ve got an awesome channel going. Keep it up.
Look great 👍
Thank you!
Great job! Love the thought and effort and just going for it! Looks great!!
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
