How do I keep my grass from dying from the heat of an outdoor fire pit?

Question

Is there some sort of heat proof mat or something that is sold to prevent this from happening? Please help. My patio is not big enough and too close to the house to keep it on that, so I'm looking for something I can just put down and pick up since I don't have fires that often. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

go to big box hardware store, you know who they are. you can get a (mat) that is made to go under a wood burning stove. they come in a couple of different sizes and are nothing more than a painted tin wrapped particle board. you now can burn your fire in the grass or on your deck.

Answer 2

There's nothing you can do to protect your grass.

However, you can extend your patio by placing plain square stepping stones edge-to-edge along the concrete that's already there. You can get stepping stones like that at any lowes or home depot for $2-$3 each.

Answer 3

Nothing that I know of is that simple. maybe build a frame from some bricks to keep the fire pit off the ground.
