Fire pit next to pond

[Daox13]

Ok,
So maybe I'm over thinking this but I have yet to find something on it and I thought this might be the right place. I have a pond that is about 12'x12' x3.5' deep. it has a thick rubber liner and I had an upper 8'x8" x2" circle that I'm doing away with because of constant issues. So my idea was to make it a fire pit area. the question I have is this... where is too close? I'm obviously going to put a nice wall between the pond and the fire pit but would heat be a major issue? E.I the water heating up or the rubber liner melting? I think the combo of the 2' of soil between and the rock wall protecting the liner it wouldn't even feel a the heat, but I just want to ask for my own peace of mind... I have seen fire pits right next to ponds but no one talks about the issues that could happen.

Thanx

if the firepit is above ground it should not be much of a worry except for maybe smoke .My septic tank is only a couple of feet from the pond and provides heat

Well mine will be slightly below ground, and by slightly I am thinking 6", I wish I had some pics I know that would have helped a great deal more.

we are putting in a chimney clay fire pit so I doubt smoke will be much of an issue.... I'm more worried about the heat alone. but I would imagine I would have to have a really hot fire for 12+ hours to really heat up the pond.

No worries at all with 2ft of soil between.
