Setup
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable outdoor location that is flat, stable, and clear of any flammable materials. Ensure adequate overhead clearance.
- Position Fire Pit: Place the main fire pit unit on the chosen surface. The integrated legs provide stability.
- Initial Inspection: Before first use, inspect the fire pit for any damage or loose parts. Ensure all vents are clear.
Operating Instructions
Fire Pit Mode
- Fuel Placement: Place dry, seasoned firewood inside the fire pit. Do not fill above the top air vents.
- Ignition: Use a fire starter or kindling to ignite the wood. Avoid using flammable liquids.
- Smokeless Operation: The fire pit is designed with a secondary combustion system. Bottom vents feed fresh oxygen to the fire. As this oxygen heats and rises along the double walls, it ignites unburnt smoke particles, resulting in a cleaner, low-smoke burn.
- Managing the Fire: Use the included poker to adjust logs and maintain airflow.
- Extinguishing: Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire as this can damage the stainless steel and create steam hazards.

BBQ Grill Mode
- Prepare Fire: Establish a stable fire in the fire pit. For grilling, aim for a bed of hot embers rather than large flames.
- Install Grate: Carefully place the cooking grate onto the top rim of the fire pit. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Cooking: Place food directly on the cooking grate. Monitor cooking progress closely.
- Remove Grate: After cooking, allow the grate to cool sufficiently before handling, or use heat-resistant gloves to remove it.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Once the fire pit is completely cool, remove ash and debris. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the stainless steel surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Cooking Grate Care: Clean the cooking grate after each use. A wire brush can be used to remove food residue. Wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the fire pit in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from the elements and prolong its lifespan.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the fire pit for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive Smoke | Wet or unseasoned wood; insufficient airflow; overloaded fire pit. | Use dry, seasoned wood. Ensure bottom vents are clear. Do not overfill the fire pit. Adjust logs with poker to improve airflow. |
| Difficulty Starting Fire | Lack of kindling; wet wood; poor airflow. | Use ample kindling. Ensure wood is dry. Arrange wood to allow air circulation. |
| Uneven Grilling Heat | Uneven distribution of embers; too much flame. | Allow wood to burn down to a consistent bed of embers. Use the poker to spread embers evenly. |
