  1. I don’t think this is a very good fire pit. It should have been deeper, 12 inches, with the first course being entirely below grade. About 3 courses above grade. Packing stone would be best below grade. It sits level and drains. I would use more than dabs of adhesive and would an adhesive that withstands temperature. If you really want it to last you would also use a steel liner. A few hot fires and 2-3 years and this one will suffer and need work. I would also tend to use a different stone for a cap layer but that isn’t needed. It is wider and makes an artistic statement but is not needed for being sturdy. Just my thoughts.
