…the ground and put rocks on it? Any tips or advice is appreciated. We love to sit outside and grill so I will put more work into it if someone has a more detailed idea.

The area you are going to pour on you need to dig a little below ground surface. Then put rocks on it. Pretend you are doing a layer cake. rocks , cement, rocks, cement. Get the cement in between all the spaces too. Check out DIY masonry sites online.

Your oversimplifying a simple job.
First dig out the shape that you want your fire pit to be. Excavate at least 6″ deeper than what you want in order to place the rocks and mortar. Next mix up a bag of ready mix concrete and trowel in about 2-3″ of concrete for the bottom of the pit. While that is curing, place the stones around the edge and mortar then together using a mortar mix. Be creative and it can be a lot of fun. If you want a wire rack or steel grate to BBQ on, then add that.
