Outdoor Fireplace Use & Care
It is recommended that fire ash be removed from your fireplace between each use. Ash from fires that is not removed can
restrict air flow to the fire and promote rusting. NEVER REMOVE HOT OR WARM ASH. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE
FIREPLACE IS COOL BEFORE REMOVING ASH.
It is recommended that your fireplace be covered between each use. NEVER COVER A HOT OR WARM FIREPLACE.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FIREPLACE IS COOL BEFORE COVERING.
This fireplace is not intended to be used as a primary heat source. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Copper, Stainless Steel and other Metallic Surfaces
Copper, Stainless Steel and other metallic surfaces often found on outdoor fireplaces can patina, change color and blacken
with exposure to outdoor conditions, heat and smoke. This is a natural occurrence that will result in a finish that is unique to
your fireplace. If desired, these effects can be reduced by cleaning the surfaces regularly after each use using soap, water
and an appropriate metal polish.
Painted Steel and Cast Iron Surfaces
Comparable to the patina effect of copper and bronze, a natural protective rust coating can form on painted steel and cast
iron outdoor fireplaces to create an antiqued finish. Outdoor fireplaces that feature a porcelain finish can develop rust on
the screens over time. If desired, high-temperature paint can be used to restore the original finish.
If you notice any of these surface conditions before the outdoor fireplace is used, contact the Service Center for a free
replacement of the defective component. Manufacturing defects are covered under the 90 Day Limited Warranty.

Instructions For Starting Your Fire
1. Place tinder, such as newsprint, fire-starter, or kindling at the bottom of the fireplace.
2. Carefully place 3-5 dry logs on top of the tinder (do not completely cover the tinder). Be sure not to place the logs too
close together, as this will hinder the flow of air to the fire.
3. Ignite the tinder.
4. Adjust dry logs using a poker so the fire becomes stable and burns evenly.
Tips For Maintaining Your Fire.
- Logs should be set in a crisscross pattern to allow for proper airflow. Logs packed too tightly will not burn properly.
- For a longer burn time, always add more dry logs before the flames get too low.
- Cleaning the ashes from your fireplace between each use will help to ensure proper airflow to the fire.
- Always use caution when tending to the fire.
