What do I put at the bottom of a fire pit?
Question:I have a fire pit that was made with my stamped concrete patio. The bottom of it is some chunks of concete and dirt. I was thinking of putting sand in it to make a level bottom. Any suggestions of what to do / use would be great.
Answers:
I don't think it really matters. It will be full of ashes anyways. You probably want something that drains well, so you don't have it overflowing too much from the rain.
Mine is just dirt on the bottom
fire
regular ole dirt has always worked for me if it's in the ground..if it's one that is free standing try aluminum foil to prevent rusting
There are companies that sell crushed glass for this purpose. Looks really nice. Popular in California. (but this is for gas fire pits, not wood burning)
A little bit of sand or dirt would be fine, or nothing at all, whatever you want to do.
