Gluing Cap Units In Place (Optional):
If you
choose to secure the four (4) semi-circular caps units
permanently, after aligning them in place, lift up
each capping unit individually leaving the three
others in place to act as a guide then apply the
adhesive. Place daubs of adhesive the size of a quarter
6” apart, near the outside edge of the fire pit wall
block on the flat horizontal surface. Carefully lower
the cap unit back into place until it touches the
adhesive. Do not tap the units with a hammer to
align them. It will leave marks on the cap surface.
Instead, pat them into place with your hand or use
a rubber mallet if needed.
After the cap units are set in place, insert the smaller
grill that supports the fuel source and keeps it above
the bowl. Then insert the larger grill for cooking.
Place the spark screen on the bowl and you are
finished with your fire pit installation. Do not light
a fire in the fire pit for at least 48 hours to allow any
adhesive to cure properly and for potentially
flammable fumes to dissipate.
LIGHTING FIRES:
IMPORTANT:
Please review and become familiar
with the safety guidelines that accompany these
instructions. Your EP Henry Fire Pit is not designed
for large fires. Make sure that the fires you light are
kept small and held away from the edge of the spark
screen for the first several fires. Except in case of
emergency, always allow fires to burn out on their
own. Extinguishing fires with water may cause the
cap or wall units to crack or spall. Do not burn
lumber, plywood, trash, leaves, or other debris in
your fire pit. Only burn dry hardwoods. Do not use
lighter fluid, gasoline, or other fire accelerants to start
or maintain fires. Always use the spark screen to
cover a fire. Always use the fire poker to open and
close the spark screen when fires are lit or burning
out. Wear fire resistant gloves when maintaining the
fire and opening the spark screen.
The spark screen
will become extremely hot and burn skin on contact.
