LIGHTING AND TENDING
WOOD FIRE
Place a 20-30mm layer of clean washed sand in the bottom of the pit prior to placing
recommended material for the lighting of fire. Put some dry tinder in the centre of your fire pit.
Tinder are the small sticks and twigs used to get the fire burning.
Stack your kindling on top of the tinder in a “tepee” structure. Light your kindling.
As the kindling starts to catch and burn, place a layer of dry seasoned hardwood that is cut to
lengths no more than ¾ of the length of the bowl.
You will need to tend to the fire by adding logs, or shifting them around for an ideal atmosphere,
however wait until glowing coals have developed before adding additional wood.
WARNING:
Remember to always use protective gear and fire tools when tending to the fire.
Do NOT add kerosene, fuel, alcohol, lighter fluid, or gasoline to relight or enhance an
existing fire.
Extinguishing
Allow the fire to burn itself out and coals and embers to no longer glow. Use a shovel to spread
the ashes and embers around evenly.
Do NOT use water to extinguish as this is dangerous and can cause damage. If the fire needs
to be put out quickly, we suggest using sand spread over the embers and ash to smother any
remaining fire. Do not bury the fire or it will continue to smoulder underground and can
eventually reignite.
Alternate stirring the ashes and adding sand to cool the fire.
CARE AND CLEANING
If you wish for your fire pit to retain its appearance store it in a dry undercover shed, garage or
similar. Turn fire pit upside down when not in use.
If you do not use a cover, store this outdoor fire pit in a dry location to maximise product life
when not in use for long periods.
We recommend storing the fire pit and accessories indoors or undercover, protected
from the elements.
Note: This fire pit is made from Australian mild steel and is designed to go rusty over a
period, some panels may have commenced this process when purchased.
