Thanks for the simplicity of this video. This is my first project on our property since my husband passed a year ago. We kept talking about getting to it, but his illness got in the way. I am finally at the point where I can continue where we left off from our plan. Just a part of the healing process now. I figure the fire pit will be done by his birthday in May. My Dave and I worked well together, a lot like you and Brooke do. Give God thanks everyday for that blessing. I still do, I thank Him we had it for almost 40 yrs together that way.♥

Im sorry for your loss I really mean that. It's still difficult for my grandmother even after 10 years of my grandpa passing.

You got it right Dave, I agree, every memory I have of camping had rocks around the fire pit. It’s timeless. There is a lot of fire proof material you can use and it’s all good, but rocks around the fire pit with a cup of coffee, or a cold brew is perfection.

Need to let you know, that very similar to you 2, we just purchased an of grid piece in high country Arizona. Though your house was in much better shape, due to long term vacancy. Let the sweat equity begin, 2 weeks ago we took the 60 foot mobile down to the frame, rehab'd a step van that was left behind so know we have temporary shelter. Going back in 2 weeks for more clean up. Amazing how much you can get in a 40 yd roll off. Send you pictures if I knew where.

The ash cover rusted in a few weeks. And then I stopped sitting by the fire. That thing wasn't as good as the rocks. Im going back to rocks and back to enjoying my fires.

On the island was a stone fire pit that someone had crafted out of the natural limestone rocks from the beach. Our boys had a blast burning fallen pine tree branches. It made me realize it doesn’t take much to build a beautiful fire pit. It’s all about the memories and the people we love.

You know Dave's in shape when he doesn't bother to back the truck up right to the pit. Carrying the huge rocks 50 yards makes them more special. My new invention is a chimnea chimney thing that has a more open, more tactical , triangle type base so the fire light goes all the way around the ring , no one is deprived, they would be if you used one with the bulb base. Inside the smoke stack is a stove fan that continues to suck the smoke upwards. Sidenote: For my smaller backwoods camp stoves , I built an "Ikea Woodstove" out of a 10" cylindrical steel kitchen utensil holder. It has vent holes already. Three bucks online. What I do now is insert 1-2" thick kindling in VERTICALLY so the burn is far more efficient. Much less smoke. It's almost like a Swedish log . In fact you could insert a 6" log in it, split 4 ways, with the starter (birch bark, fatwood) in the middle. This creates a higher, brighter "flame tower". And if you have some good hardwood, will produce a blue flame. You can also sit really close to it, so adding wood is not a problem. You don't have to get up. Yeah the smoke game is hilarious though when an acoustic jam is going on . Then your guitar smells like pine ...

"There's no right way to build a camp fire pit." True, but I appreciate that you kept your fire ring low. I cannot say how often I have been off-roading, found the perfect camp site, only to find a fire ring that someone build up over two feet high, effectively blocking the heat from your legs. The ambiance is still great; but keeping those legs warm on a cold night is pretty nice too.

Your description of choosing and placing the rocks reminds me of the way my great grandparents used to build rock walls in rural Texas out of the rocks that they pulled out of the fields, in order to make the fields tillable. Good, honest, fulfilling work. Those rock walls that they build in 1880 are still standing today (except where the land was sold and developers knocked them down). Also, I enjoy the way that you and Brooke always work as a real team. Thanks for another great video Dave, and best of luck to you both.
