Hey guys,,
looking for some input.. Building a fireplace for the backyard..Thinking about using a tractor rim and dressing it up with some retaining wall blocks around the outside. My concern is that the blocks will crack from the heat or worse-blow up.. anyone have any experience building one and how it held up over time? dont wanna spend a hundred buck on brick and have them crumble in a year... Or if any of you have any other kind of fireplace design that a average joe like myself could build iam all ears.., Main concern is being able to cook on the fire, so will have to fabricate some sort of grate system..
Thanks in advance
