Operating Instructions

For Wood Burning:

1. Add Wood: Place small, dry wood chunks onto the bottom grate. Do not overfill; ensure air can circulate.
2. Ignite: Use a long lighter or match to ignite the wood. The specially designed grate allows for fast lighting.
3. Maintain Fire: Add small wood pieces as needed to maintain the desired flame.

For Pellet Burning:

1. Insert Pellet Chimney: Place the included pellet chimney onto the grate.
2. Fill with Pellets: Fill the chimney with wood pellets.
3. Ignite: Ignite the pellets at the top of the chimney. Pellets provide a slow, steady burn.

Extinguishing the Fire:

Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire as this can damage the stainless steel. Once the flames have subsided and the fire pit has cooled, you can use the provided lid (if applicable) to cover the opening and further suppress embers, or simply let it cool completely.

Maintenance

1. Cool Down: Always allow the fire pit to cool completely before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Ash Removal: Once cool, remove the grate and carefully dump any ashes into a non-combustible container. The removable grate makes this process fast and easy.
3. Cleaning: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could scratch the surface.
4. Storage: Store the clean and dry fire pit in the included nylon carry bag in a dry location when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Lighting: Ensure wood or pellets are dry. Use appropriate fire starters. Check for adequate airflow.
• Excessive Smoke: Use only dry, seasoned wood or quality wood pellets. Ensure the fire pit is not overfilled, allowing for proper airflow. The double-walled design is intended to reduce smoke when operating correctly.
• Low Flame: Add more fuel or adjust the fuel arrangement to improve airflow. Ensure the fuel is dry.
