DIY & Maintenance

Learn to automate a square fire pit safely: require certified ignition, sensor-driven shutoffs, clearance checks, and weather-aware controls to prevent hazards.

A data-backed, season-by-season checklist keeps fire pits safe, efficient, and neighbor-friendly, with clear thresholds for safe distances, cleaning, moisture control, and winter shutdown to prevent corrosion, clogs, smoke drift, and off-season damage.

Build a neighbor-friendly smokeless fire pit using measurable emissions targets, proper airflow, dry fuel, and code-compliant clearances - then verify with a quick test checklist. Learn the material trade-offs and HOA protocols that prevent smoke drift, complaints, and fines.
