We bought the stones at Lowe’s to build a firepit. But someone told us we should put fire brick down before we put the stones around. We had concrete poured and left a 3 foot circle in middle where we plan to build it. Below is the picture of what the ar a looks like. We had planned to just put pea gravel in bottom but not sure now about fire bricks and if we do a layer or a row or just not use then.
What is the diameter of the hole for the fire pit? Hard to tell from the photo. What is in the hole now? Cement? Dirt?
I'd talk to a mason that makes custom fire pits.

Go to a welding shop and request them to make a steel fire ring in the dimensions desired. Then purchase whatever brick for outside.
