how many fire bricks do you need

Hi Kathy, to be honest I have not used the stove yet, since we had a relatively mild winter until now. (I'm in Mexico)My idea however is to fire the stove with gas (LPG), since we have not much wood around where I'm living. Sorry for not being able to help you more.

It depends on how wide you want to make the bottom protection. At the moment I dont use any, I custom built a grate like in a fireplace and slid it through the door to keep everything off the bottom. There does seem to be some problems with air flow. I keep the vent open and the bung hole open, put a small fan a foot or so away to put a "gentle breeze" through the vents. As far as the bricks go, I would estimate 4 or 5 wide and the length of the barrel (about 6 long) should be enough. Just one layer thick.

You would need more than one. I would look for a larger version of this product.

you typically need 1 gallon per person each day. so, this is good for one person for 3=1/2 days. BUT that is only for drinking, usually you will need more (washing, cleaning, etc. I would figure one brick is goo for one person for 2 days. So, for 30 day you would need 15 bricks per person, 45 bricks for a month. If you look at it for survival only, one brick should be good for the 3 or you for a day, so one brick a day for the family. 30 days/30 bricks. 180 days/180 bricks. My opinion.

They are approximately 7 1/2' long, by 3 1/2" wide, by 2 1/2" tall. You should use a concrete mix with fibers because the bricks are only as tall as they are. I love mine, by the way. Here is a gallery of some of the steps I went through to do it. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3098345737956.2129999.1243506879&type;=3 I didn't put up the finished pictures yet. But I went with oil based polyurethane and sand/topping mix from Quickrete. I think it came out really nicely.

You can build more than one depending on the parts needed. This is an awesome set.

It depends on the space you are trying to fit it in. Having said that, I have 6 chairs and a couch that fit around the fire pit comfortably when needed...when I am not entertaining I seperate them and have 4 chairs around the fire pit and the other two chairs and couch with table on my back patio.

Yes you'd need two...beating up the dummy gets a little old after awhile :-)

The cost per use of charcoal depends on the brand you buy. I use about 12-15 briquets for each fire. This will cook 4 chicken legs, hot dogs and a couple of hamburger patties. I can add 4-5 coals for an additional couple of steaks.

Only 2 I think. I had to go back online and find a single wall from another company because I wanted 3 walls.

Hard to say. The size of each has changed with different orders. Never counted but its never been consistent. First order fireballs were about 3/4" in size last order they were about 1/2". Guessing maybe 500 give or take.

Since they are corner ones you'll need 4. You will defintely need a few to fill gaps between the corners depending on the lengths of your sides

Hi there- one kit makes 3 sq feet so you would need 4, but if u go to the manufacturer's website, they sell kits that utilize 3 x 3 tiles and you can make a larger for using fewer tiles. One of the large tiles is 3x3. Hope this helps!

Maybe, I bought this for my nephew who is 5, he likes fire trucks so he made it and just kept it put together. He made it really quickly so if he wants more of a challenge maybe get him a bigger set.

The unit comes in 5 separate boxes. It takes about 15 minuets to assemble after unpacked. Straight forward assembly. It comes with about 2 pounds of clear fire glass - I added 4 more lbs of different colors for a sunburst design in the fire glass. You could add lava rock, etc if you want to, but it looks really cool with just the fire glass - the clear glass looks liquid with the gas fire on.

I accidentally said yes. The answer is NO though! 50 barely fills up the bottom of the pit. I'd say AT LEAST 100 more

I didn't actually time the burn but it is shorter than firewood but longer than I had anticipated. I mix woodchips/saw dust with shredded paper to about a 50/50 mix and I haven't noticed any extra or unwanted smoke. I want to try and make enough bricks this spring and summer to get me through next winter. If you don't mind a little work then it's worth it, FYI I fill up a 50 gallon trashcan with my mix and it usually makes about 32 bricks.
