Hey! Great work! My wife wants one now. Smart on reusing a table top. I'll have to come back to this video the next time I need to find the center of a circle!
Saved some money with the top for sure. You know what they say, happy wife happy life. Thanks for watching and your continued support. 👊🏼
Nice build! That project should last for years!
Thanks Mr Fred, I appreciate you watching and your support. 👊🏼
Great fire pit build! it looks amazing. I know barrels can be tricky to work with , my hats off to you brother. 😀
Thanks brother, I appreciate your continued support. Lol I was surprised with the weight of the barrel since it was still pretty freshly emptied so it was really wet inside. I popped the top and let it air out for several days.
This looks totally awesome. I can’t believe these sell for over $3,000. Good deal on the whiskey barrel
Thank you, I couldn’t either! I wanted to show others so they could get in on the cost savings. 👍🏼
It came out so good 🔥 . I would have liked to seen the way it looked with the hideaway table hooked up. Thank you for sharing and many blessings.
Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching and welcome to the channel.
Whoa! Very cool! Gotta be very nice on a gorgeous fall evening on the back patio! Nice! 😎
Thank you, I appreciate you watching and leaving feedback. It is very nice, the best part is being able to have a fire that is ready to go in 3 seconds. 👍🏼
Great share. Loved the narrative. Air mixer is a nice touch.
Thank you, I appreciate your continued support. In my opinion the air mixer is a must. 👍🏼
Great upload my friend!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching and continued support! 👍🏼
I hope I inspired you! I should stain mine, really makes it pop.
Thank you for watching! Yes, I agree staining does make it look good. 👍
Great looking fire pit!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

Hey man! Just thought I'd check in and see what you are cooking up next. Best wishes!
Thanks got stopping by, hope all is well! I’m between a few projects and hoping to upload new content soon! Debating about doing a time lapse of a patio build.
@@inspiringbuilds Cool man! It can be hard to choose sometimes. Looking forward to it though!
Great build! Fantastic result!
Thanks so much!!
mejanya mantul bosku 👍👍
Terima kasih telah menonton, apa yang anda butuhkan bantuan?
very useful thank you for sharing
Thank you, I really appreciate you watching!
Amazing. Incredible job!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Nicely done, looks amazing and easy to use!
Thank you! Definitely easy to use. A lot of times people only want to use the fire for only a short amount of time. I disliked having to build a wood fire pit only to put it out after it gets real hot. This solved it. 👍🏼
@@inspiringbuilds Yeah and saved bunch of money in the process. Crazy the prices of them!
really amazing video welcome here always with you
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Wow sangat bagus
Thank you, I appreciate you watching and welcome to the family. 👍🏼
Great idea and will be my next project. How did you attach the table top to the barrel ?
That’s awesome to hear! With it being a tight fit and the weight of the pan and rocks I didn’t need to secure it with a bracket or anything. Good luck on your build, let me know how it turns out!
Hey ! Great Firepit barrel,
One question for you how did you secure the tabletop to the barrel ? L Brackets ?
Thank you, I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. With the weight of the table, pan, fire glass, etc a bracket is not needed as it’s a tight fit and secure with the weight.
Perfect 👍😊
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
That’s great 😃
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Waching your full video and trying to learn on how to do it. How did you do the fire ignition work. Thanks for sharing my full support and subscribing to your channel my dear friend. Stay connected
Thank you for watching. After installing everything as shown in the video turn the propane tank on, turn on the gas valve with the key, and then light the burner. It takes roughly 3 seconds and is super easy. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Good job Boy👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate you watching. 👍🏼
Love everything you are doing. Excited to learn more. New subscribere here!
Thank you Steve, I appreciate you watching and welcome to the family! 👍🏼
That's freaking awesome. I've been planning a build like this for a while. Did you just set the insert in place or did you caulk it down? Why didn't you put the tank inside of it?
Thanks Travis! Having a fire in 3 seconds is awesome especially when some only wants to spend 30 minute for example.
@@inspiringbuilds I totally get that. My family would defiantly only want to be out for no more than 30 min.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY The insert fits snug into place and has plenty of weight that it’s not going anywhere. I wanted a side table and it made since in my setup to hide the propane tank there. It was a bit easier to swap, you can have bigger tanks if you want, etc.
Great build! Could you use a 1 lb. propane bottle so it could be hidden in the table? I wouldn't mind having to use one tank everytime to have a cleaner look. Thoughts?
Hi Mark, you can 100% you can use a propane tank that size or larger inside the table. I used to have mine in the table as well before getting a side table. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. 👍
So you have inspired me to try this project! One question for you: the barrel you used was new but the one I purchased is a used whiskey barrel so is it safe to use a barrel that has soaked up so much whiskey - no fire risk? I understand there is no open flame inside the barrel but my barrel reeks of bourbon! :)
Hi Sandy, thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Mine was used and reeked as well. No issues using it countless times since July of 2021.
What size was the bit you used for the flame adjuster key hole?
Hi, thanks for watching. I used a 1 3/8” forstner bit and it can be seen here: 8:59
Great build Dan! I have one quite similar out of the pallet that I made. My question to you… Do you ever worry about your table top catching fire? That is my constant worry on mine as when the wind blows the flames get very close to the wood. I even had to exchange my fire ring for a smaller diameter ring. Curious if this was an issue for you as well. I chose not to go the “cement top“ route cause I ain’t that skilled LOL. Great build!
Good question, thank you for watching and welcome to the channel! The pan I use keeps all the heat in, I hit the table with a temp gun and have no concerns. We use the table to prop up our feet as well as sit our drinks and food on. 👍
Wow, awesome, I'll start working on one of those. I have a question. Is the heat generated affecting the wood in any way? Do you recommend using some type of heat resistant material between the pan and wood?
Hi Gustavo, thank you for watching and leaving feedback. The heat is not affecting the wood at all and can be touched while the fire is going. I don’t feel a heat resistant material is needed, but it wouldn’t hurt anything if you decided to add it. Good luck on your build. 👍🏼
Can you place the Propane tank in the barrel section?
Yes, I originally had a tank inside the barrel. Good luck on your build, links for all of the parts used are in the description. 👍
Wowww...it's cool project! I love it❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching! Welcome to the family. 👍🏼
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Love this DIY project. Can I ask what brand your propane installation kit with air mixer are or where you got it? How about the the gas key valve you used? Our son and I may tackle this project over Christmas break.
Hi Heidi, thank you for watching and leaving feedback. It means a lot and stay tuned for future DIY Projects. For the parts used on this build I included everything along with a link in the description. I’ve also used the fire pit for several months and it’s working great as well as I get a lot of complements from friends and family. I will say my favorite features are lighting it in 3 seconds and not smelling like smoke. Good luck on your build and let me know how it turns out. 👍🏼
Where is a good source to order the pans from? We are on this project!! Great tutorial!
Hi Connie, welcome to the channel and thank you for the feedback! I purchased the pan off of Amazon and provided the link in the description. 👍🏼
Could you show a picture of where the propane tank is and how you prevented any trip hazards from the hose?
Hi Shayla, thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! I originally had the propane tank inside the barrel hidden with no trip hazards. Just ensure you drill holes as shown in the barrel doing this method. I now have it hidden in a side table between two patio chairs and one single hose does run a very short distance on the ground from then whiskey barrel. 👍🏼
Very nice video
#technicalideaindwarka
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
@@inspiringbuilds watching my 360* rotated homemade table fan🙏🙏
Yessss!!!! This is so cool!!!! 🔥 #iwantone
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
cut the barrel in the middle and you wont have to route out the inside to fit burner pan
Yes, thank you for watching and welcome to the channel! I was going for a specific height, but you can certainly do so. 👍🏼
What kind of heat does it put out for people sitting around it? Say compared to a regular smokeless fire pit?
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching. The amount of heat is completely up to you with the turn of the valve. In summer months I have it turned down low and higher in winter months that puts out a great deal of heat for everyone sitting around it. 👍🏼
Great build! Could you modify the build to be able to put the propane tank inaide the table?
Hi Andrew and thank you. Yes you can put it in the barrel. I wouldn’t cut down as far on the barrel. If you place it in the barrel ensure to drill holes for oxygen as shown. Let me know if you need anything. 👍🏼
What size propane bottle fits inside?
As long as you don’t cut too low you can fit the most common 20 lb. size, which is the same size that you use with your propane grill. I have one in each so I never run out. 👍
Be very cautious in building this. Liquid Propane Gas is heavier than air so the potential of it building up inside the barrel without adequate ventilation could result in an explosion causing severe burns or even death. By placing a pan and burner directly over the top of the barrel will not allow enough air flow through the barrel interior. With any propane fire pit, please remember to add ventilation points to prevent catastrophic events from taking place and seek qualified professionals for advice or installation.
Hi Brian, thanks for watching and your concern. Proper ventilation was added and shown in the video.
What’s the actual height of your firepit. What’s if the distance from the propane tank to the fire? Should there be a certain distance?
Thanks for watching! I’d recommend doing a clearance height test by installing the fittings on the pan and hold it over the propane tank to get the minimum required height. As long as you have clearance between the propane tank you’re good. You can then take the height minus the thickness of the table to determine your barrel height.
Great Fire pit! If I put my tank inside, do you build a side door, or not glue down your table top so you can remove it?
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and welcome to the channel. The tank can be placed inside without a door access. The weight of the rocks in the pan doesn’t allow the table to move and can be picked up and the tank replaced. Good luck with your build. 👍
@@inspiringbuilds So the bottom doesn't have wood, you can lift it up and put it on top of tank?
@@amandarae3268 The bottom does and has holes drilled around the bottom for oxygen. The top lifts off from the table on up.
So you put the propane tank in from the top?
@@amandarae3268 Correct
how long does a tank last?
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching. There are a lot of variables such as the size of the burner, how long you have it lit for, how high the heat is turned up, etc. I used it about a dozen times last summer and used 1.5 tanks of propane costing $20 per tank.
What about the wooden round table top where do I buy it ?
Hi Jason, thanks for watching and welcome to the channel. You can recycle a table top like I did or build it out of wood fastening multiple pieces tighter and then cutting a circular pattern with a jigsaw or router.
can you show where the propane tank goes
Thanks for watching. The propane tank can go inside the barrel under the fire pan or outside the barrel for example under a side table, whichever your preference.
Is your propane tank inside of the barrel or outside
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching. The propane was inside the barrel, but I built a side table and put the propane tank inside there. 👍🏼
Where did you get the burner kit?
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching. I have the link to the parts used in the description, let me know if you need anything else. 👍🏼
thank you your sharing, welcome my channel
You’re welcome, thank you for watching. 👍🏼
What was your reason for moving the propane tank?
Hi Hayden, thanks for watching! I built a side table and already had a hose that would reach it so I moved it under the side table. It made me feel a little more comfortable having the propane tank further away and it’s easier to swap out for me, but the setup in the barrel works great as well following the techniques shown in the video. Good luck on your build and stay tuned for more. 👍🏼
Forgot the tiki torches
Thanks for watching. I didn’t forget, but focused on the whiskey barrel fire pit for this build. Do you have a favorite tiki torch?
In video you said you stored propane tank in a side table. Can you put it in the barrel?
Hi Aaron, welcome to the family and yes you can put it in the barrel. I wouldn’t cut down as far on the barrel. If you place it in the barrel ensure to drill holes for oxygen as shown. Let me know if you need anything. 👍🏼
Holy cow, $3k? At that price it's definitely better to build one yourself.
Agreed, thank you for watching and leaving feedback. 👍🏼
Did you seriously use a pressed board table top? That thing is gonna turn into a hunk of junk after a couple rain storms. Sure it was quicker and cheaper but you definitely just moved your cost and time spent building on to another day. I hate doing things twice. 😩
Hi Dan, good name and thanks for watching. I was concerned with the same and purchased the cover as I referred to. I’ve used it 50+ times in the past 1.5 years with countless rain storms and it still looks the same as when I installed it. 👍
