firepit simulation for archviz animation

[leo.surrealismo]

I?m doing an archviz animation and hit a wall because I need a simulation of an exterior firepit and I?ve never done this before.... I?m thinking on buying a license of phoenix for this task.
What is the correct workflow for rendering the animation? render the simulation with the architecture at the same time or separate?
any help is really appreciated
