Step 1
Clean out your fire pit (Figure 1).
Remove old burner (unless it can be
re-used).
Attach your new burner with the flex
line provided. Hint – unscrew the fitting
on each end of the flex line. Screw the
fittings to the burner and gas line first.
Then screw the flex line to each fitting.
Position the burner to the center and 2
to 3 inches below the rim of the pit by
gently bending the flex line.

Step 2
Now pour in the crushed lava rock
(Figure 2) while holding the burner in
position.
Pour in just enough lava rock to create
a flat surface about an inch below the
burner.
Then switch to finely crushed lava rock
(pea size), filling until the lava rock is
flush with the top of the burner. Also
See Figure 4.
