Fire place

[Grz63]

Hi everyone,
l plan to build a sort of place outside the house, where we can discuss at night as we can see in african lodges; central fire pit with banks in concrete all around, with pillows . My question; what should be the right size ? the diameter seems in reality bigger than I could imagine (likely for ten persons I can do the maths for the perimeter or half-perimeter). Any ideas ? any experience ? what do you think ?
thanks in advance for your advices.

My wife and I designed an extended covered patio with a fireplace in the back. It's a great place to hang out, and I spent quite a bit of time there smoking cigars or watching a game. The only drawback is that when we get cold fronts, the winds come from the north, and this faces north, so the wind sucks the smoke out of the fireplace, and it sucks. No wind, it's a great place to hang out.

An idea of the size ?

Yes, mine is 16 ft wide by 21 ft long. I have two ceiling fans and TV.
