I built a fire pit out back using the stacker type stones that you can get at any Home Depot or Lowes. I built mine in kind of a "D" shape with the back being straight. I will try and take some pics this weekend. It works great and it didn't cost too much to build. We have a woods buffer between us and a farm and we have a hill in the backyard so I put it on the edge of the hill overlooking the woods, so most nights sitting out there it's real quiet and relaxing. Plenty of heat but keep in mind I usually have 6-8ft flames shooting out of it. This is what the pavers/stacker stones look like.
