Operating your outdoor fireplace
Before lighting:
· Always use in accordance with all applicable local and national fire
codes. Use on noncombustible surfaces such as concrete, brick, or
rock. Use extreme caution when using on a wooden deck. Do not
leave unit unattended at any time. Keep all screws and nuts tight,
and inspect on a regular basis to be sure fireplace is in safe working
condition.
· Keep away from flammable material and fluids such as gasoline,
alcohol, diesel fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, and / or
automobiles.
· Do not overload the fireplace to the point that the lid will not close properly.
· Do not burn trash, leaves, paper, cardboard, or plywood in the fireplace.
Avoid using softwood such as pine or cedar, because they are likely to
throw sparks. The use of seasoned hardwood is recommended.
· Do not use flammable fluids such as gasoline, alcohol, diesel fuel,
kerosene, or charcoal lighter fluid to light or relight fires.
Lighting Your Fireplace:
· Remove charcoal grid and fill bottom bowl with play sand to a point
just below interior lip.
· Replace charcoal grid.
· Arrange firewood in center of charcoal grid.
While in Use

· Do not allow children to use the fireplace. Keep children and pets
away from the fireplace while it is in use.

· Do not move the fireplace while in use. If it becomes necessary to
move the fireplace, remove the screened section and replace the
fireplace lid to cover the fire.
