You know those outdoor firepits you put wood in and have screens like
fireplace screens? Well, they say to not use on a wood deck. But what
if I put stone pavers below it and out two or three feet? Would they
radiate the heat enough to keep the deck from catching fire? Would the
occasional spark that escapes the screen fly more than two feet?

If you're right there watching it, it doesn't matter, because you can
just step on any flung embers and put them out. If you have a fire
going when you're *NOT* watching it, you deserve to have your
house burn down anyway. Where is your fire extinguisher, anyway?
