Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Apr 06, 2023 1:03 pm Hello, I'm in the process of having this firepit built and before using it, I wanted to get some opinions on the safety of it. It has a brick base with concrete above and a firepit bowl directly on top of the concrete. Do I need to be concerned about the concrete overheating and exploding? Thank you!

Worse case scenario is that it develops a crack from different rates of expansion but hopefully it's got some reinforcement in it so even a crack won't be a problem Accessible Carpentry & Cabinets accessiblecarpentry@gmail.com accessiblecarpentry.com.au https://www.facebook.com/pages/Accessible-Carpentry-Cabinets/583314911709039 Fine with me... just let 'em step in with some affordable (but good) gear... 12 5685 The concreter will take and reuse. In my case I bought structural LVLs and scraped them back and used them as joists. 1 5429 |
