Covered with plastic, to help keep the heat in.
The heat will dissipate into the cold ground, but the laws of thermodynamics says it cant disappear completely unless it radiates out into space at night. In other words, the heat should stay in the ground the only question is what is the dissipation rate? And the dissipation is a good thing as long as it doesnt dissipate down below 55-60 degrees. The area of ground that goes up a few degrees should eventually extend outward, about 10 ft?
I could take daily temperature readings and create a model that showed the exact dissipation of the heat. I dont have the time to do this. But I could take the soil temperature at various distances from the fire pit when I plant the pumpkins. Actually, this alone should give a pretty good guess about the final dissipation of the heat.
