USING YOUR FIRE PIT
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR USING YOUR FIRE PIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Note: The lightweight cement components are reinforced with fibreglass to provide strength. Loose fibreglass
fibres may be present. Fibreglass, while not harmful may cause skin irritation if it comes into contact with your
skin. Therefore, wash all components to remove any traces of fibreglass before assembling or using your fire pit
for the first time.
• Dry all components with a soft cloth - and allow components to completely dry before first use.
• Always position your fire pit on a firm and level surface.
• Follow all operating & safety instructions in this manual prior to using your fire pit for the first time and
subsequent uses.
SAND
• This product is designed to be operated with a layer of dry sand in the
fire bowl. The sand acts as an insulator - helping to extend the life of the
fire bowl.
• We recommend a minimum layer thickness of about 20-30mm.
• Do not leave wet sand in the fire bowl for extended periods - this will
only lead to premature corrosion of the steel bowl.
IMPORTANT - FUEL TYPE & LOADING
• This fire pit is designed to burn wood only.
• Do not burn coal or coal briquettes.
• The fire bowl is designed to burn small logs - approx 100mm /4in in
diameter or less (as a guide) and a total fuel load not exceeding 3-4 KGS
at any one time. Exceeding this recommendation may damage the fire
bowl or fire pit body.

FIRST FIRING

When using the fire pit for the first time - always start with a small fire and
allow this to run until the initial fuel load is burnt through. This will assist the
fire pit materials to cure and settle.

STARTING THE FIRE

• Use a small amount of kindling and some fire starters - or wadded
newspaper to get the fire started.
• Once the kindling is alight, you can slowly start to add some more
firewood.
• Add firewood as required - but never overload the fire bowl.

EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE

Avoid using cold water to extinguish the flames as this may damage fire pit.
Generally, the fire should always be allowed to die out naturally. However, if
immediate shutdown of the fire is required, use sand to smother the flames.
As a safety precaution, always remember that coals can remain hot and
glowing for up to a few days.
When emptying the fire bowl for cleaning or maintenance, always use a steel
bucket to retain left over coals and sand.
