How-to & Style


DIY gel fire pits are so cool. They don't take a ton of time or cost a boat load of money to make. Hey friend, this is Jeff from Home Repair Tutor and today I'll show you how to make sexy cement DIY gel fire pit in one day. Plus, after watching the video I guarantee you'll be able to make your fire pit better than mine.
You'll need a few supplies. Buy some cheap plastic bowls for about $5, Pam, Quikrete Quick Setting Cement, a margin trowel, bucket, palm sander, grout sponge, 60 and 150 grit sandpaper, lava rocks, and gel fuel cans.
The plastic bowls will be used to cast your cement bowl. The beauty of the quick setting cement is that your bowl will be finished in about 5-6 hours. Sweet. The lava rocks I used can be used in fires and won't pop or explode. That's kinda important. No one wants to lose an eye because of an exploding rock. You can find the gel fuel cans in the garden center of your local hardware store. They burn clean and won't emit a heavy smoke.
Here's a list of supplies needed for this project:

If you've already made the firetable from the last episode, you'll want the gel fuel to go along with it! My recipe whips up MUCH faster than recipes that call for you to evaporate your vinegar/calcium carbonate AND only costs you 4 cents an ounce to make!


In this video, we use some of the calcium acetate that was made in a previous video to make some alcohol jelly!

Once more we have got another episode in the Alternative Fire Starter series. This time was have something that is now in abundance to try and keep our hands clean from the Rona. Alcohol Gel, always keep some on your First Aid Kit. Use it regularly... however...
If you're dealing with damp tinder and kindling or need to get a fire going quick in a survival scenario the volatile alcohol vapour catches a spark and ignites. It will keep going until until its burnt out.
A special thank you the scottish based NWOBHW band Victorius for allowing Northern Limits Bushcraft and Survival to use their new single Never Be The Same as a backing track.
Check out the links below to find more of their material including the album Rise From The Flames.

Making fire gel. One of the friendlier chemical experiments you can do without needing to leave your house. Starting with just egg shells and vinegar you can make calcium acetate. And, from there making fire gel is easily obtained.

Craig Beals shows how to make Fire Gel Fuel similar to Sterno with things you have in your kitchen!
Gel fuel is used for Survival Kits, Camping, Cooking, Fireplace, Warming Trays, Fondue, S'Mores and a whole lot more. Craig shows how egg shells or chalk (Calcium carbonate) react with vinegar (Acetic acid) to form Calcium Acetate (the gel in Gel Fuel). The gel forms with the addition of an alcohol which allows the gel fuel to burn!
