Reply to comment by Not2daydear in Is this outdoor fire pit safe to use as-is? by theonewhoexists

Yes I mentioned the solo stove because it is portable. The 2ft away is because this concrete tile/block space is only about 15ft x 15ft with the fence on the east side, grass on the south side, house on the west side, and a plastic deck on the north side. So the more I move it away from the fence the closer I’d be moving it to the house.

Should I stick with the original gas fire pit idea then?

I think gas or solo would work. Most of the time it’s not an issue. Most issues with fire pits come from the drinking that goes on around them. I would just move it a little further out from the fence. I’m glad that it is not a structure. That’s what I originally thought it was. My other concern was that there was a tree above it. A wood fire burns hotter, and also has the ability for the ash to fly than a gas fireplace, which has greater control in the height of the fire. Enjoy your new home and your fire pit whatever you decide.
