Operating Instructions

Using as a Smokeless Fire Pit

This fire pit utilizes a secondary combustion system to reduce smoke. For optimal performance, follow these steps:

1. Fuel Placement: Place dry, seasoned hardwood logs into the fire pit. Do not overfill; ensure air can circulate.
2. Ignition: Use natural fire starters or kindling to ignite the wood. Avoid using flammable liquids.
3. Secondary Combustion: As the fire burns, bottom vents draw in fresh oxygen. This oxygen is heated as it rises up the double walls of the fire pit. The heated oxygen then exits through upper vents, igniting and burning off smoke particles, resulting in a cleaner, low-smoke burn.
4. Maintaining Fire: Use the provided poker to adjust logs as needed to maintain airflow and an optimal flame.

Using as a BBQ Grill

To use your fire pit as a BBQ grill:

1. Install Grate: Ensure the cooking grate is securely placed over the fire pit.
2. Prepare Coals/Wood: Allow your wood fire to burn down to hot coals, or add charcoal briquettes for grilling.
3. Preheat Grate: Allow the cooking grate to heat up for several minutes before placing food on it.
4. Cooking: Place food directly on the hot grate. Monitor cooking closely.
5. Remove Grate: After cooking, use heat-resistant gloves to carefully remove the hot cooking grate.

Care and Maintenance

• Cool Down: Always allow the fire pit to cool completely before cleaning or moving.
• Ash Removal: Once cool, remove ash and debris from the fire pit. Dispose of ash in a metal container.
• Cleaning:
  • Fire Pit Body: Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
  • Cooking Grate: Clean the cooking grate with a grill brush after each use. For thorough cleaning, wash with warm soapy water and rinse well.
• 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 or damage.
