INSTALLATION/OPERATION
(Wood Burning)
Wood Burning:
The Mason-Lite Fire Ring is able to burn wood
instead of Natural/Propane Gas. The Installation
process is shown below. (
For Wood Burning
Installation- Non-Combustible Floor is Required)
(note: Wood Burning installation does not include
Half Block Door, Brackets or burner system.)
1. Locate a flat even surface to build your fire
ring. See
Specifications
page 4 for sizing and
Minimum Clearances
page 5 when selecting a
location.
2. Use 8 blocks to build the first layer (See
Figure 6). After laying out all blocks, using a
level, verify all the blocks are level. Shim if
necessary.
3. When starting second layer, stagger blocks to the
first layer (see Figure 8). For the MFR24-48, use 8
blocks to build the second layer. After laying out all
blocks, using a level, verify all the blocks are level.
Shim if necessary.
4. When starting the top layer, stagger blocks to the
layer below. Use 8 full blocks). After laying out all
blocks, using a level, verify all the blocks are level.
Shim if necessary.
5. Next be sure to line the inside with firebrick to
help radiate the heat out of the Fire Ring.
Starting the Fire:
Start the first fire slowly with a small amount of
paper and kindling (small dry wood splits or twigs)
stacked in a crossed or teepee fashion toward the
center. Slowly add small but larger pieces of dried
hardwood of about three inches (2”) to four inches
(4”) diameter. The temperature will begin to rise in
your
Fire Ring however it may take about 15
minutes to begin
a faster temperature ascent.
NOTE:
Take care not to feed your fire too fast so as
to smother it. As you add more wood, a temporary
decrease in temperature my occur. This is normal
and as soon as the new wood begins to burn, your
temperature will rise.
The next step is to ensure that your fire continue to
build.
