Filling the pit up with Lava Rock is genius. I just bought the stainless steel pan w/burner ring which was the most expensive part.

Right lol do i need a damn pan ?

Thanks for the super informative video! It was educational and to the point, but still entertaining. Very well done.

Thanks for the video, saved me quite a bit of $$ to just do it myself vs hiring out or buying a pre-built.

Perfect! Very similar to what I want to install!

I wish you guys was in Texas. I really like that fire pit

Thanks for the great instructions. Now I'm going to build one!

Go for it! Be safe...

Is it a good idea to install the burner ring (star in this case) with the holes facing down to avoid water getting into the gas line when it rains. Assuming you don't want to cover it when it rains

Would it be beneficial to add a suspended floor so you use 1/5 of the rocks?

Do you have a link to where I can get that 18" (?) burner, I don't see it on the site listed above.

I’m so glad I found this video I’ve always wondered how to do this job

How would you suggest removing an old burner safety tips?

That’s a pretty good size flame for a 3/4” pipe and not being connected directly to the gas meter 👍🏽

Great Info!!! If we are connecting our fire pit to a valve off the back of our house (such as a bbq connection valve) and not the main gas on the side of the house.....do we still need to have someone licensed to install the gas line? We are in the state of Utah.

Shouldn't the gas shut off valve be before the union?

What a great video!!!! Any referral plumbers in east Texas you can recommend? Athens, Texas Henderson county. It's so hard to find a good plumber out here that knows what they're doing.

Can you use a flex from the valve to the burner instead if hard piping it?

Hola gracias por la información, puedes comentarnos si el ingreso de agua es con la misma presión de agua de la casa o se usa con un hidrojet o presiónwasher?

Sí, la línea de gas de la casa va hasta el pozo de fuego y tiene la misma presión. No hay agua, solo gas natural.

I bought this house with a pool and it looks like there was a fire pit that was removed by the previous owner.The half inch pipe is mounted right in the middle of the 24"circle and the DANTE shut off is on the ground.When you said that you don't want the line in the center may I know why?Is it because you need to install a shut off valve? Mine already have a shut off Dante valve on the ground.Please respond,I'm a subscriber thank you.

About how much is this estimate

wheres the vent located ? should there be a vent at the bottom of the firepit ?

How much lava rock did you use on this one?

Great video. Thanks. How many PSI is the pipe rate for? I am going to run direct out of a regulator from a gas well that has 40 PSI. I can't find any pipe for it.

1/3 of a pound is all you need.

Do you need to have the fire glass covering the burner first before it will light? I tried to light the burner without the fire glass just to test it and only one hole on the burner lights. all the holes on the burner are not flaming up.

It sounds like you may have water in the gas line... Try using compressed air to blow the gas line out. You will need to disconnect the Gas Line from the source. A less expensive way is to use lava rock over the Burner. Also you should cover the burner when your not using it to prevent water from getting in.

Once you are at this stage, what is the process to add an igniter? What are the good options that will work with this nice looking fire pit?

@mrEnergy511

With adding an igniter for something reliable your in some extra cash... the manually operated key is the safest and cheapest way to go. Every time I priced one out no one ever purchased it so I never sold them $1000 or more!

Where can I buy this stuff or ask for advice. I’m half way done with mine. Trench done with 1 inch piping. I pressure tested it and then buried it with the wire. Just need help to finish ;)

Don’t think you want NG line moving around on wheels... ALL NG hook ups will be a Hard line with a short flex on the end. If you want something to move do LP with a tank under the pit and access door. Napoleon makes a nice mid range Fire Pit Table or you can build one custom...

Good Question... With an underground utility you need a way to know exactly where it is. the Copper wire is can be found with a metal detector so you wont dig it up and cause a leek and maybe cause a Fire or explosion! Thanks for the Question

Don't you need to add venting in the stone?

@mrEnergy511

The stone has a gap allowing for some air flow and extra oxygen for combustion.

Is there an ignition kit? It would be nice to start like a BBQ to save the eyebrows

Use your hand to light the Burner and keep your eyebrows out of it! The electronic ignition for these burners are NOT cheap... but available Thanks for the comment.

You forgot to mention turning off the gas before unscrewing stuff! Someone might not have experience and blow up their house.

Unfortunately, I do not. I live in Utah. You can try your local fireplace store, HVAC company or plumber. You are looking for someone that is gas certified.

What about an air mixer? Without it you will generate a lot of smoke.

@mrEnergy511

Ryan Wilhite you will need the “air mixer” for LP. On natural gas you don’t need to have one. If you did add more oxygen it will make the flame hotter and shorter and also turn the flame blue. Most customers want a large yellow flame 🔥 it looks better that way. Thanks for the comment...

Kevin Marshall It has lots of combustion air... The block is not air tight and the large lava rock gives you air space as well. Natural gas is lighter than air so it will rise up through the pit. LP gas will require extra air under the burner.

Do not trust compression fittings, use fusion fittings
