Hey Guys,
The wife and I are adding a concrete patio with a fire pit. My question is how do I design the drain in the bottom of the fire pit? Could I just leave a hole in the concrete where the fire pit will be? Dig down a couple feet and fill it with gravel then loosely place fire brick on top of the gravel so it will drain? I've read where I could just have a concrete bottom and put a drain in the bottom with a pipe to drain the water. But how do you keep the pipe from filling up with ash? Any suggestions?
