Indoor Barn Fire Pit Build
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Mechanical/Structural Engineering Design — Custom Wood-Burning Hearth for Barn (Missouri PE License preferred)
Project description:
I am building a custom freestanding open-hearth wood-burning fireplace inside a new 60’ × 80’ post-frame agricultural building in Jefferson County, Missouri. I need an engineer to review, refine, and complete the integrated system design and potentially produce stamped construction drawings.
About the project:
The hearth is an open design in the building. Major components:
• 6’ × 4’ firebrick fire pit with steel grate at 36” above finished existing concrete floor
• Freestanding truncated-pyramid steel hood (10-gauge mild steel) approximately 7’ × 5’ at the bottom skirt, 30” round collar at the top, 60-72” tall
• Hood supported by four steel columns anchored to the concrete slab — not attached to the building structure
• Class A insulated chimney venting vertically through the barn roof (eave height 16’, ridge approximately 20’)
• 10’ × 8’ hearth pad with stone or brick veneer
