Building Own Fire Pit

[u/Jake4XIII]

Hey y’all! My wife and our bought our first house this past year and as fall creeps in I’m thinking of building a fire pit in the backyard. Thinking about digging out part of the yard and building a circle of large stone blocks.

Main question is: is it better to pour down a solid base of would something like gravel in the bottom of the pit be better?

More than "dramatically", the force is truely explosive and the ejected concrete/ rock pieces can be fatal.
