In addition, depending on where you're at, you may not be allowed at all. If gas powered, you'll need a gas line BBQ/fire pit permit from the county. You'll possible need an OCFA (Orange county fire authority) plan review. http://www.ocfa.org/_uploads/pdf/planningoutdoorfireplaces.pdfhttp://www.ocfa.org/Menu/Departments/FirePrevention/PlanningDevelopment.aspx Not sure what Irvine requires for the patio landscaping/hardscaping. Also, due to AQMD rules, not sure permanent wood burning fire pit/fire places are allowed, I know you can't add them to the houses anymore.
