I know this isn't a "home repair" question but I am wondering if anyone has
this minor problem with a fire pit on a wooden deck.

We bought a fire pit yesterday from Home Depot and placed it on the corner
of our wooden deck. After awhile, I noticed the deck turning darker under
the pit as well as something which looks like tree sap oozing out. I believe
it may be the stain/sealant I applied a few months ago. Anyway, I was
thinking of putting four 2 ft x 1 inch thick pavers forming a square under
the pit. Will this be enough to disperse or stop the heat from penetrating
to the deck?

Thanks

You can put it on fire brick but it's not cheap. It's made for big
industrial furnaces and it won't conduct the heat like other
materials. Regular pavers will probably do nothing.
