Installation
Do not install in or on cars, trucks, recreational
vehicles or boats.
Install this firepit only on a hard, level, non-
combustible surface such as concrete, rock or
stone. Note that an asphalt or blacktop surface may
not be acceptable. Do not use on wooden decks.
Do not force parts together as this can cause
personal injury or damage the product.
Do not use this firepit until it is completely
assembled and all parts are securely fastened and
tightened.
If required in your area, do not use this firepit unless
spark guards are securely in place.
Condo/townhome dwellers: Check with your
management for requirements and fire codes for
using an outdoor firepit in your complex. If allowed,
use outside on the ground floor.
Do not use on or under balconies.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a
permit and information on any installation
restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.
Fuel
Use this outdoor firepit with dry, seasoned
cordwood, which will create less smoke and burn
hotter and more completely.
Do not use this firepit with solid fuel, such as
charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, manufactured
logs, driftwood, trash, leaves, paper, cardboard,
plywood, or painted, stained or treated wood. When
using softwoods such as pine or cedar, be aware of
sparks.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, lighter
fluid, or alcohol to light or relight fires.
Do not overload the firepit. Do not add additional
wood until the fire burns down. NOTE: If any portion
of the bowl, lid, or spark guards of the firepit are
glowing red this indicates it is overloaded.
General
Usage
Keep the firepit clean and free of leaves and debris
to ensure safe operation. Do not operate the firepit
without first ensuring it is clean.
Keep a portable fire extinguisher or other approved
extinguishing equipment, such as a garden hose,
readily available when operating this firepit.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
liquids or vapors within the vicinity (25 ft., or 7.6 m)
of this firepit.
The surfaces of this outdoor firepit are hot when in
use. To avoid burns, do not touch the firepit until it
has cooled completely (about 45 minutes), unless
wearing protective gear such as potholders, gloves,
and hot pads. Never touch ashes or coals to test if
they are hot.

into your eyes.
Do not lean over the firepit when lighting or while it
is in use.
Do not place a hot spark guard or hot firepit tools
onto combustible surfaces such as grass, wooden
deck, or furniture.
Do not use this outdoor firepit for indoor heating. Toxic
carbon monoxide fumes can accumulate and cause
asphyxiation.
Keep all electrical cords away from a hot firepit.
Using alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs

operate the firepit.
