I am looking for an outdoor fire pit such as a propane fire pit, fire pits for sale, discount fire pits, cheap fire pits, and fire pit rings.

I was planning the following:

Inner diameter = 55 inches (140cm) 36″ SS fire ring
Outside diameter = 80 inches (200 cm)
Height of pit walls = 20 inches (50 cm)
Walk way around fire pit = 28 to 35 inches (70 to 90cm)
The built in seats will be 18 inches (45cm) deep and the back will be 26 inches (60cm) high.

1. Will this be too big for a fire pit?
2. Will we be too far from the fire to enjoy the heat?
3. Will my propane tank provide enough pressure to keep us warm?
4. Is it OK to have the fire ring be the same size as the fire pit?

The propane line will need to be approximately 12 – 15 feet long.

Also, I want the fire pit to be roughly 4 feet in diameter and at least 3-4 feet in height. I plan to make the fire pit out of stone with the top open.

I am getting ready to hang a bench swing and wanted to possibly inlay some bricks under it so it doesn’t get muddy and also at the same time I want to build a fire pit. I tend to lean toward simple or rustic designs. I need help with ideas, patterns, and any hints you might have.

I am wanting to not only use it to keep warm but also to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. I know the fire logs that you can purchase are convenient but they can’t be used for cooking because of the chemical in them. I am a single mom not very experienced at starting fires. Would someone please tell me how to get a good fire started in a fire pit and keep the flame going?
