Introduction

A dramatic patio fireplace can set you back a hearty chunk of change. Traditional masonry units can cost upwards of $10,000. Happily, this basic fire pit can give you all the warmth of a more elaborate fireplace without the drain on your wallet.

Failure to notify the authorities risks breaking the law and endangering yourself and your home.
