Comment on Advice for fire pit construction
user134450@feddit.org 1 week agomarble is less resistant to heat but might work if it’s not directly in contact with the ambers and a little away from the fire. Chemically it is CaCO~3~ and if you heat it enough it will start to decompose to CaO and CO~2~ and crumble. It is a similar process to what you would see in a cement kiln :); not exactly stable but also not dangerous if it happens outside.
