protected deck.
There are 8 x 8mm diameter holes located on the base of the
main body. The 4 outer holes can be used to secure the unit
to a slab or deck. (Fixings not included).

keeping a fuel load in the
storage base - to maintain
stability.

SAND
SAND
USING YOUR FIRE PIT
SAND
• This product is designed to be operated with a layer of dry sand in the re bowl.
The sand acts as an insulator - helping to extend the life of the re bowl.
• We recommend a minimum layer thickness of about 20-30mm.
• Do not leave wet sand in the re bowl for extended periods - this will only lead
to premature corrosion of the steel bowl.
IMPORTANT - FUEL TYPE & LOADING
• This re pit is designed to burn wood only.
• Do not burn coal or coal briquettes.
• The re bowl is designed to burn small to average size logs - approx 100mm -
200mm in diameter (as a guide) and a total fuel load not exceeding 5-6 KGS at
any one time. Exceeding this recommendation may damage the re bowl or re
pit body.
FIRST FIRING
When using the re pit for the rst time - always start with a small re and allow
this to run until the initial fuel load is burnt through. This will assist the re pit
materials to cure and settle.
STARTING THE FIRE
• Use a small amount of kindling and some re starters - or wadded newspaper to
get the re started.
• Once the kindling is alight, you can slowly start to add some more rewood.
• Add rewood as required - but never overload the re bowl.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
Avoid using cold water to extinguish the ames as this may damage re pit.
Generally, the re should always be allowed to die out naturally. However, if
immediate shutdown of the re is required, use sand to smother the ames. As a
safety precaution, always remember that coals can remain hot and glowing for up to
a few days.
When emptying the re bowl for cleaning or maintenance, always use a steel bucket
to retain left over coals and sand.
