[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 90321, member: 764"] My neighbor did this.... In between the tractor tire and the blocks add a layer of 1" to 1.5" rock as an insulation layer. He has had his fire pit going on four years with this setup. I added some blocks across the bottom of the pit and the fire ring sitting on top of the retaining wall blocks, then added in 4" of 1" aggregate rock inside. Now, when the ash remains it just sifts down in between the blocks and allows for some air/ventilation and makes for less ash removal. The ventilation down below is the key to keeping a fire going longer and hotter. [/QUOTE]
