I want to build a outdoor fire pit and was wondering if it would be alright to build a small pavilion and have a fire under a roof. If I could how high should the roof be and are there any specials materials I need to use?

There is no way any municipality would ever approve a fire pit with a roof. Check with your local fire department to see what their requirements and specifications are. Where I live, the fire pit cannot be within 35 feet of any structure. Hope this helps.
I think you have your thinking wrong.. What you do is build a pavillion with a fireplace or firepit in it. You just need to build a chimney of sorts.. You can use stove-pipe or a brick supported chimney with small column supports for an open pit design..
what you need is an old tire rim…cut out the spokes…lay a perimeter of bricks about 1 foot away…and fill with gravel…then for a nice finish build a brick patio around the pit to desired dimensions…then build your pavilion around the patio and about 7 to 8 feet high…with a hole in the center of the roof and some stove pipe…insert wood and light…enjoy!!
