FIREBRICKS
The firebricks are designed to fit in the base and along the rear and side walls of
the firebox. Please ensure the bricks are fitted before using the fire.
LIGHTING YOUR FIRE

3) Place 3 - 4 small pieces of firewood on top of the kindling.
4) Open air slide fully.

extra air into the firebox and helps create a draft.
