Instructions

1. Choose a location for the fire pit and clear the area. 2. Dig a circular hole about 2 feet deep and slightly wider than the desired size of the fire pit. 3. Fill the bottom of the hole with a layer of gravel for drainage. 4. Create a level base using sand and a level. 5. Begin stacking the larger stones in a circular pattern, using fire-resistant mortar to secure them. 6. Continue layering the stones, alternating between larger and smaller stones, until you reach the desired height. 7. Place the fire ring in the center of the fire pit and surround it with fireproof bricks. 8. Use mortar to secure the fireproof bricks around the fire ring. 9. Allow the mortar to dry completely. 10. Test the stability of the fire pit and make any necessary adjustments. 11. Add a layer of gravel around the fire pit for a finished look. 12. Finally, gather some comfortable outdoor seating and enjoy your premium stone fire pit!
