First things first, you need to address the issue of safety. So pick a that is far away from flammable structures, debris and objects. Don’t let it near anywhere a tree, dry grasses, shrubs, dried leaves, wood sticks and so on. If you are using it to provide warmth and ambient light, be sure that you have it in location that has a lot of room. Before ultimately deciding on the location, it will do you good to check with your local fire department and see what are the laws that apply.
The size of the pit will depend on your intended use. If you are looking to build an outdoor fire pit that’s best for cooking, barbecues, grilling and so on, then a 2 to 4 ft. diameter pit should be perfect. But if it is mainly for providing warm and ambient light, a 2 ft. diameter fire pit should easily be able to service a group of three to four people.
