WARNING:
Never expose concrete directly to fire. Extreme temperatures may
cause concrete to explode, resulting in property damage or bodily injury. Add
enough sand and gravel fill to bury block and 1" of the steel ring insert.
Step 4
Position steel ring insert and center. Use a rubber mallet to tap blocks towards center
for proper alignment.
Do NOT use adhesive on metal ring.
Getting Started
Zoning and Permits:
Before you plan
your project, learn about the necessary
zoning requirements and rules for
excavating and building restrictions in
your area. No matter how small your
project, be sure you obtain the necessary
permits before you start construction.
Know What’s Below:
Whether you are
planning to do it yourself or hire a
professional, smart digging means calling
811 before each job. Homeowners often
make risky assumptions about whether
or not they should get their utility lines
marked, but every digging job requires a
call – even small projects like planting
trees and shrubs.
Base Preparation:
Fire rings can be built
on an existing concrete slab or paver
base without additional preparation.
To build in the ground, follow these
steps:
1) To build your fire ring on the ground,
mark a 52" dia. circle and remove all
earthen material to a depth of
approximately 3". Be sure excavated
circle is level.
2) Add 1.5" to 2" inches of compactible
gravel, level it evenly. Compact the gravel
with a hand tamper until it is firmly and
uniformly compacted and level.
3) Use a thin layer of sand if needed to
adjust for level.

ATTENTION:
The cooking grate must be
seasoned before cooking food directly on
the surface.
Expose the grate to an open flame until
the enamel finish is completely removed.
If you wish to cook on the grate before
it is seasoned, place aluminum foil
between the grate and your food item.
Pans, skillets or meat baskets can also
be used to keep the food from touching
the grate.
When the grate is completely seasoned it
should be heated and thoroughly cleaned
with a wire brush before placing food
items on it.
Brush vegetable oil on the grate to keep
meat from sticking. After each use, brush
vegetable oil on the grate to keep grate
seasoned. Do not use aerosol spray oils
around an open flame.
