Bit of an update. Fire pit is in and works great (already used it). Now to figure out best way for seating around it without sinking into the ground.
 
I took down a granite retaining wall (2 feet high)and made a nice pit with the stone. So long as I don't do 6 hours fires, I am not that worried about it.

Get seats that have bars on the bottom rather than feet.

This style feet will not sink in.

I put one in and we use it all the time. After determining where it could go due to local ordinances there was really only one spot for it.

The kids love it to roast marshmallows, we cook corn on it, burgers, hotdogs, make hot apple cider in the fall, etc.

I pick up pallets people throw away and cut them up to use as fire wood, plus any time I see trees cut down I pick some up. Never paid for wood yet. I bought the blocks super cheap at a garage sale and made mine only as big as I had enough blocks for. It's about three feet across. I dispose of everything in it, sticks and braches from the yard, etc.

Ha Parkway Pizza, do you live in central NY?

@OP

What about propane fire pits? I'm thinking of doing that.

I wouldn't lay out mine like in any of your photos, I would make it part of the patio (extend it) and put it in the center so people can sit around it off of solid ground and not dirt.

Nice firepit!

@ Paperfist, this is an old thread and already built/posted the fire pit at my house. You can see it a few posts above yours.
