Use Guide

Assembly

The fire pit requires assembly. All necessary hardware is included. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a flat, stable surface.

1. Lay out all parts and hardware.
2. Follow the included instruction manual to connect the legs, side panels, and fire bowl to the main frame using the provided bolts.
3. Ensure all connections are secure before use.

Note: Some user reviews indicate that parts may require careful alignment during assembly.

Setup and Placement

• Place the assembled fire pit on a stable, level, non-combustible surface such as stone, brick, or concrete.
• Ensure the location is outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, and away from any overhead obstructions (e.g., tree branches, awnings).
• Maintain a clearance of at least 10 feet from structures, fences, and flammable materials.
• Do not use on wooden decks, grass, or other combustible surfaces.

Operating Instructions

Starting a Fire

1. Ensure the spark screen and grill are removed.
2. Place kindling and firewood in the center fire bowl. Do not overfill.
3. Light the fire using a long match or fireplace lighter. Never use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, lighter fluid, or alcohol to start or accelerate the fire.
4. Allow the fire to establish a bed of embers.

Using the Spark Screen

1. Once the fire is burning steadily, use the poker to place the spark screen over the fire bowl.
2. The screen helps contain sparks and embers. Always use the screen when the fire is unattended.
3. Use the poker to remove the screen. Wear heat-resistant gloves.

Using as a BBQ Grill

1. Allow the fire to burn down to hot coals for optimal grilling.
2. Using the poker and heat-resistant gloves, place the BBQ grill shelf securely over the fire bowl.
3. Place food on the grill. Monitor cooking closely.
4. Use the poker to remove the grill when done. The grill will be extremely hot.

Extinguishing the Fire

1. Stop adding fuel well before you plan to extinguish the fire.
2. Allow the wood to burn completely to ash if possible.
3. Do not use water to extinguish the fire rapidly, as this can cause thermal shock and damage the metal or create steam burns.
4. Let the ashes cool completely for at least 24 hours.
5. Dispose of cold ashes in a metal container.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Remove cool ashes after each use. Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Rust Prevention: The unit has a rust-resistant coating. To prolong its life, store it in a dry place or use a protective cover when not in use for extended periods, especially in rainy or snowy weather.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the fire pit for signs of damage, such as excessive rust, cracks, or loose parts. Do not use if damaged.
• Storage: If storing assembled, choose a cool, dry location away from children and pets.

Troubleshooting

• Fire is smoky or doesn't draw well: Ensure the fire pit is not placed in a windy spot that blows smoke back. Use dry, seasoned firewood.
• Parts are difficult to assemble: Ensure all parts are correctly oriented. Some parts may require gentle alignment; do not force bolts if threads are not engaging correctly.
• Surface shows rust: Surface rust may occur over time with outdoor exposure. Light surface rust can be brushed off. For significant corrosion, discontinue use.
• Spark screen or grill does not sit flat: Ensure the fire pit is on level ground. The accessories are designed to rest on the inner lip of the fire bowl.
