BACKYARD FIRE PIT AND ROTISSERIE

This project can be very easy if you already have a fire pit—a matter of simply adding a purchased add-on rotisserie spit to an existing fire pit that you have in your yard. But we’ve also included complete instructions for building a great fire pit and safety pad you can build from scratch. You can adapt this project to whatever circumstances are found in your yard.

Rotisserie spits are available in many styles, from hand-cranked units to those with solar-powered motors to turn the spit. And they come in several different sizes, some appropriate to slow-cooking whole chickens or turkeys, others large enough to handle small goats or pigs. For most backyard fire pits, though, a 48- or 52-inch spit that just spans the fire pit itself is the best choice.

A fire pit with rotisserie can become a focal point and gathering spot for backyard entertaining and dining. The fire pit features here is constructed around a 36-inch corrugated metal liner, but you could also build it with a commercially available fire pit bowl or other enclosure available on any home center. We have surrounded the fire pit liner with cut limestone slabs, but this is just one option. Clay bricks, fire bricks, and retaining wall blocks are among other materials that could be used to build the surrounding walls.

Check with your local code for stipulations on the allowable size and location of your fire pit. For example, most municipalities have rules regarding how far a fire pit must be set back from fences or wooden structures in order to remain safe. Some localities may not allow outdoor burning at all.
