Do you know if Chamotte Grain is the same as Perlite or Vermiculite? I'm gonna try and make this with a layer of refractory cement mixed with Perlite, and a layer of fiber reinforced concrete. Instead of a sand form I already have an awesome 32" solid copper fire-pit bowl that I'm gonna flip over and coat with a release agent (so I can remove it to clean it and easily dump the ashes. I'll let ya know how it goes!

BRAVO ! This could be the best single project ever posted on this web site. Congratulations on a fine project and execution. Did your results come out this good on your first effort ?

Was that sand you used to make the bowl?

Yes it's sand. The one needed for the sandbox of children.

So elegant! I love also how you placed the fire bowl on boulders. This should be in the HGTV magazine!
