from burning kiln dried logs. It’s perfect for enjoying with family and friends.
It can be positioned and setup within minutes. It is compact, sturdy, entirely produced from stainless steel, easy to
move and easy to store.
THIS PRODUCT MUST NOT BE LIT UNTIL THIS LEAFLET IS FULLY READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
FUELS
The Fire Pot has been designed to burn kiln dried logs.
Unseasoned timber must not be used.
The burning of any other fuel is not permitted.
INSTRUCTIONS & DIMENSIONS
HANDLING
- Touching the Fire Pot during operation and
cooling phase will result in burns as the product is very
hot.
Always wear a minimum of cut level 5 gloves when
handling this product as it is constructed from stainless
steel sheet metal.
ASSEMBLY
- Simply insert the stainless steel base grate
(as shown below) into the combustion chamber using the
finger holes provided in the plate, until it rests flat on the
grate locator.
The Fire Pot has been designed with secondary air burn
holes.
The introduction of secondary air causes the partially
combusted gases at the top of the combustion chamber
to re-ignite and create a secondary burn flame. This
results in greater heat and further reduces the smoke
levels emitted from your firepit to a very low level.
To ensure the cleanest possible burn, users should always
keep the kiln dried log level below the secondary air burn
holes (see diagram above).
SAFE POSITIONING PRIOR TO USE
The user must select a safe and suitable location when
using the Fire Pot.
The Fire Pot must be positioned on a flat, non-
combustible surface such as stone, brick or concrete.
It is further recommended to position additional
non-combustible blocks or slabs at least 100mm
thick directly under the firepit. This will reduce the
heat transfer from the base of the firepit to the non-
combustible ground surface. It also helps prevent
possible ash staining of the ground beneath the Fire
Pot.
The Fire Pot must be positioned at least 3 meters away
from any combustible material prior to lighting, this
includes overhanging trees, branches, and leaves. This
distance must be maintained throughout the entire
burning and cooling period.
Do not position your Fire Pot under a covered porch or
in an area that restricts your access to it.
The Fire Pot must not be located within 8 metres of any
fuel storage location, flammable liquids, or aerosols.
LIGHTING OF FIRE
Place 4 small (approx. 25mm) fire lighters equally spaced
onto the stainless steel grate.
Position 3 or 4 of the smaller kiln dried logs onto the grate
and carefully ignite the fire lighters with long matches or
taper. The logs will ignite within minutes.
As the Fire Pot ignites it will smoke for the first five
minutes approximately and then the smoke will reduce
down.
The Fire Pot can be refuelled as required when the logs
have burned to a low level.
You must ensure the level of the logs does not pass
beyond the secondary air burn holes (see illustration left).
This ensures the cleanest possible burn from the Fire Pot.
A typical fire, with full grate of kiln dried logs, can burn
for over an hour. This can however vary depending on
weather conditions, logs used and ash levels.
AFTER USE
Ensure your Fire Pot is fully extinguished and cold, with
no burning embers, before removing ash.
Always remember hot and cooling ashes can be a fire
hazard.
The cool down period of this Fire Pot will change
depending on fuel condition, ash content, number of
hours burning and weather conditions.
This Fire Pot can remain very hot for up to 4 hours after
use.
Do not touch it, or empty the ashes, until after this period
and you are confident it has fully cooled down.
Ensure you wear cut level 5 gloves.
Disposing of ash should be done with a galvanised steel
or metal ash pan or bucket that can be sealed to collect
all the unwanted ash from the fire, or simply bring your
cooled fire to your designated area for ashes and empty.
Wood ash can be used in compost as it is good for the
ground. Ensure you have removed all ash from under the
removable grate.
