![]() Even if I opted to have the material delivered, it’s not easy lugging it by wheelbarrow. Then I’d have to get the concrete into the trench. In our case, that means excavating down through clay and rocky soil. For these, you need to dig a minimum of a 30-inch-deep footing trench. I considered building a traditional brick fire pit on a concrete footing, but that’s no small undertaking or expense. And we were concerned that a wind-blown ember could start a brush fire in the nearby woods. But we didn’t like the ugly charred circle that these fires left behind. A cozy fire and a circle of friends is the perfect soft landing after a day’s work. We live on a quiet Pennsylvania hilltop, and our house backs up to some woods. My wife Bev and I love to sit outside in the late afternoon or in the evening with some friends and enjoy a fire in the backyard.
