Expert Answer

You need to consider the size of the barbeque grill, and whether you want to install a pizza oven. You can also add a dry bar (a refrigerator for drinks, a countertop, and maybe a few bar stools), but keep in mind that it will be more costly and harder to install.

Question

Do I need to use fire bricks on the interior? Can I build on my concrete patio in the corner already 2.5 ft high? I will use concrete blocks. The patio is 22' square, and the wall is opposite the house.

Yes, you should use fire bricks for the interior if you're building a fire pit or fireplace. They're designed to withstand high temperatures. Building on your concrete patio should be fine, but be sure it's level and stable. Use a moisture barrier and check weight capacity. Ensure proper ventilation for fire structures. Consult local codes and consider leaving a gap to prevent water damage.
