When it gets really hot that concrete's going to crumble on you. Hell I'd just dig a shallow hole and put some decorative rocks around it. But don't forget to give it some aeration channels or you're just going to have a big plum of smoke.
Thank you for the info. I’m new to all this. Jewtube has been helpful.
"Smokeless" burn barrel. Even with a pit you will want/need a barrel eventually.

Have some friends that have something similar they built on their property. Works well enough and keeps the smoke/ash/ember's down. You look like you are in a pretty damp area so you should be ok but always keep something around to put out a spot fire if you have to.
Hey man no problem, country living is beautiful. Also I think someone already mentioned in here about finding standing dead trees and getting them prepped for burning during winter time. Nothing better than having a fire going in your fireplace on those cold days. That being said make sure your fireplace is ready for it. make sure the chimney is safe not going to crumble. make sure the flu works. make sure your ash catch is clean/empty. Get yourself a nice ax, a good maul, chainsaw, a wedge for splitting the stronger. Don't make your wood pieces too big when you cut them, no more than a foot or 12 in high. it's going to be real pain in the ass to chop if you go higher. Also cut a chopping block which is a bigger piece of wood. doesn't have to be tall but flat and wide. Keep your blade Sharp get yourself a nice file.
I appreciate you.
