*For best results, do not overfill the fire pit with logs that cover or extend above the top
air holes.
MAINTENANCE
Clean out ashes every 2-3 Burns or when ash covers lower holes to maintain airflow for a
smokeless fire.
When you are finished enjoying your fire, do not extinguish the fire with water. Let the fire
extinguish on its own.
During winter months in cold climates and various seasons of operation, the fire feature
may be affected by weather conditions. It is recommended to use a cover/lid over top of
your fire pit opening to protect it from humid/rainy weather conditions when not in use.
Heavy rains/downpours can affect the operation of the fire pit if not covered.
