Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ® Page 4of 13 Fire Pit & Fire Grill (Models 810-1510 & 810-2510)
DO NOT BURN FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
DO NOT USE EXCESS CHEMICALS OR
FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. If necessary,
ONLY use charcoal lighter fluid to ignite charcoal
briquettes. Never use gasoline, kerosene, or
other flammable fluids to start or invigorate the
fire. These fuels will cause dangerous burning
conditions in the appliance. Keep all such
materials away from the stove when not in use.
WARNING: Any excess fluids applied to
saturate wood or charcoal briquettes could leak
down through the seams of the cast iron and
initiate a burning flame outside of the fire bowl.
Use any such approved accelerants sparingly
and only as intended by the manufacturer.
Never over-fire your appliance.
Other safety guidelines:
Keep all combustible items such as furniture,
drapes, clothing, and other items, at least 10
feet (3.05 m) from the appliance.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
You may also wish to keep a pail of sand nearby
to cast over open flame.
If a water hose is used to put out a potentially
hazardous fire the nozzle should be set to ‘spray’
and not to ‘stream’, and care should be taken to
apply water to area of fire directly, and avoid
excess overspray on hot iron for the risk of
generating steam or potentially cracking the iron.
Dispose of ashes properly in a non-flammable,
sealing receptacle rated for ash disposal. Be
sure to place the receptacle on non-combustible
materials during and after ash transfer until the
material and container are cool. See page 10.
Keep children and pets away from the appliance
when it is burning; they could be seriously injured
by touching a hot appliance.
PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the fire bowl, sooner if the
fire bowl is full.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
Depending upon frequency of use of the
appliance, visually inspect the appliance for
signs of damage from use or from the
environment.
Check stability of the fire bowl on the base stand,
and visually check the base stand for signs of
damage from use or from the environment.
At the End of Every Season:
Clean all ash from the fire bowl.
Wash and clean any cooking surfaces.
Perform a visual inspection of all components for
signs of wear and tear, damage, and general
condition.
Move appliance to indoor storage location, or
install a proper all-weather cover.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If the fire is burning uncontrollably or for another
reason needs to be immediately extinguished it is
recommended to utilize a fire extinguisher and/or
disperse a pail of sand to bury any remaining
embers.
Use of water to extinguish the fire is also acceptable,
and water should be sprayed gently over the flame
and coal bed (not a forceful stream). Applying water
could result in damage to the appliance (depending
on temperatures and conditions of the fire) and can
also cause staining and secondary damage to the
installation location as water and ash will migrate
through the joints of the appliance, down the support
base, and onto the earth, stone, or concrete below
(and beyond).

LOCATION: INSTALLING YOUR
APPLIANCE
Choose a place to install your Fire Pit or Fire Grill.
Consider the location of your appliance for stability,
safety, and enjoyment. In general, it is better to place
your appliance in an open area away from buildings,
overhanging foliage, and combustibles or
flammables.
Inspect this location to make sure that the appliance
will have the required 15M clearance from flammable
liquids and combustible materials. Examples of
flammable liquids are accelerants such as gasoline,
propane, diesel fuel, kerosene and heating oil.
Combustibles include walls, floor, deck, ceiling, and
overhanging foliage, limbs and trees. You must
carefully consider the clearances to all of these
combustibles before placing and igniting your
appliance.
It is recommended that your Outdoor Appliance be
installed firmly at a dedicated outdoor location
constructed of stone, masonry, earth or concrete. It
is not recommended to install this Outdoor
Appliance on any deck, wood or composite.
ASSEMBLING YOUR FIRE PIT
Refer to Figure 1 for guidance along with these
instructions. Carefully remove all components from
the shipping materials. Install the 4x CAP SCREWS
(item 4500-2495) into the underside of the Levelling
Base (item 2101-010). Turn the assembled Levelling
Base over and place it in the center of your chosen
install location. Adjust all four screws until the
Levelling Base is level, and stable (does not wobble).
With help from another person, place the Fire Bowl
Assembly onto the leveling base, and make effort to
center it visually. Place the Plug (item 2101-060) into
the center hole and align the raised bosses on the
plug with the overlapping seam of the two bowl
halves. Next, place each Ash Grate (item 2101-050)
into the Fire Bowl with the raised bosses of the Ash
Grates facing down. The grates should lock in with
raised bosses of the Fire Bowl seam, and Plug.
Refer to Figure 1. If your Fire Pit included the Grilling
Ring, assemble as instructed further in this
document, and install the completed grilling ring onto
the fire pit, centered and rotated as desired.
ASSEMBLING YOUR FIRE GRILL
Refer to Figures 2, 3, 4 for guidance along with these
instructions. Carefully remove all components from
the shipping materials. Begin by assembling the Fire
Grill Stand as shown in Figure 3. Install the 4x
Elevator Bolts (item 4100-0124) into Top Plate (item
5138-0120). Note: Two Top Plates are supplied, but
one is intended to be used as the Bottom Plate.
Adjust all Elevator Bolts so they are neutrally located
with room for adjustment in each direction. Next,
install each Side Panel Assembly (item 5138-0220)
to the Bottom Plate on the opposite side of the
Elevator Bolts. Note: Install each Side Panel
Assembly so that the Hearthstone Outdoor Logo is
nearest the bottom plate. Secure each Side Panel
Assembly in place using 3x Screw (item 4500-1055)
and 3x Washer (item 4600-0311) installed from
beneath Bottom Plate (same side as Elevator Bolts).
Now move this assembly and place it in the center of
your chosen install location. Adjust all four Elevator
Bolts until the Fire Grill Stand is level, and stable
(does not wobble). Secure the Fire Grill Stand
through the 4 x 5mm locating holes using Dynabolts.
Place the Top Plate (item 5138-0120) onto the Side
Panel Assemblies and align with hardware locations.
Again, secure the Top Plate using 6x Screw (item
4500-1055) and 6x Washer (item 4600-0311). Insert
4x Screw (item 4500-4535) and 4x Washer (item
4600-0311) from the top through the 4 center holes

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ® Page 8of 13 Fire Pit & Fire Grill (Models 810-1510 & 810-2510)
in Top Plate. Next, lay Upper Heat Shield Insulation
(white, ceramic paper, item 3120-222) into Upper
Heat Shield (item 5138-0420) and align 4x fasteners
through clearance holes as you sandwich these
components to the bottom side of Top Plate. Secure
in place with 4x Spacer (item 4700-0880). Tighten
all four spacers by hand until snug. Next, install
Lower Heat Shield Reflective Layer (foil faced
fiberglass, item 3120-223) onto Lower Heat Shield
(item 5138-0520) so that fiberglass is laying inside
the heat shield, with foil facing UP. Align fastener
holes with standoffs and tighten 4x Screws (item
4500-4535) and 4x Washers (4600-0311) through
Lower Heat Shield and into Spacers. See Detail C
of Figure 3. Next, install 4x Domed Carriage Bolts
(item 4100-0122) into remaining 4 holes on top side
of Top Plate, so that they are approximately the
same height. These will be used and adjusted
manually to prevent the Fire Bowl Assembly from
wobbling in place.
Finally, as instructed in the above paragraph:
“Assembly: Building your Fire Pit”, assemble and
install the Fire Bowl Assembly on top of your Fire Grill
Stand. Follow the instructions below to assemble
your Grilling Ring.
ASSEMBLING THE GRILLING RING
Carefully remove all grills, griddles, and hardware
from their packaging. If you have a combination of
grills and griddles, decide in which configuration
you’d like the slotted grills and flat griddles arranged.
Place the grills and griddles face down and spaced
apart on a clean, flat surface in the desired
configuration. One by one, bring the pieces together
and loosely secure each grill or griddle to the
adjacent piece using the supplied hardware: 2x Bolt
(item 4500-3125) and 2x Washer (item 4600-0805).
The completed ring will need 8x each Bolt and
Washer once fully assembled.
When each segment of the grilling ring is loosely
assembled as desired, check the general alignment
for roundness making any adjustments needed, and
then be sure to securely tighten each fastener. With
help from another person, lift the grilling ring, turn
right side up, and place centered over your newly
installed Fire Pit or Fire Grill. Center the ring and
rotate it to the desired orientation.
OPERATION
Once your Outdoor Fire Pit or Fire Grill is installed in
a safe location, you are ready to light a fire.
Every installation, season’s firewood, and operator’s
technique varies. Learn how to use your appliance
most efficiently for your installation. We can give you
the basic principles, but only you can ensure
maximizing the potential of your appliance while also
operating it safely.
WARNING: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP
CHILDREN, PETS, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE
AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Read this entire chapter before lighting your first fire.
It explains the controls and features of your wood
stove, how to choose firewood, and how to use your
stove on a daily basis.
CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Burn only natural firewood (known as cordwood) or
barbeque grade charcoal in the Outdoor Appliance.
This appliance is not designed to burn other fuels.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO
NOT USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL,
ARTIFICIAL LOGS OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS
AS FUEL; THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
THE USE OF UNAUTHORIZED FUEL SUCH AS
COAL COULD PRODUCE HIGH HEAT EXCEEDING
THE CAPABILITIES OF THE CAST IRON BOWL,
ASH GRATES, AND GRILLING IRONS CAUSING
WARPAGE, CRACKING, AND FAILURE.
The quality of your firewood directly affects heat
output, duration of burn and performance of your
appliance. Softwoods generally burn hotter and
faster, while hardwoods burn longer and produce
better coals. Density and moisture content are two
critical factors to consider when purchasing or
preparing wood for your appliance.
The following is a list of some wood species and their
relative BTU (British Thermal Unit) content. The
higher the BTU content, the longer the burn.
Firewood with higher BTUs is generally ideal for a
wood stove

Moisture content also plays a key role in the
performance of your appliance. Wood freshly cut
from a living tree (green wood) contains a great deal
of moisture. As you might expect, green wood burns
poorly. You must season green wood before using it
in your appliance. To season green wood properly,
split, stack, and allow it to air dry for a period of one
year. Green wood may provide less than 2000 Btu
per pound, whereas dry wood can provide up to 7000
Btu per pound.
Stack the firewood on skids or blocks to keep it off
the ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic or
tarps that cover the sides of the woodpile trap
moisture and prevent the wood from drying. As for
stacking, an old Vermonter said, "The spaces
between the logs should be large enough for a
mouse to get through, but not for the cat that's
chasing it."
CAUTION: DO NOT STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN
THE STOVE'S SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
BUILDING AFIRE
Once you understand the arrangement of your
outdoor appliance and have the appropriate
firewood, you are ready to start a fire.
WARNING: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-
TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, OR SIMILAR

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ® Page 10 of 13 Fire Pit & Fire Grill (Models 810-1510 & 810-
2510)
LIQUIDS TO START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE IN
THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS
WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN
USE.
REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASHES
You can leave a thin layer of ashes in the Fire Bowl
if preferred. Allow fire to die down or go out
completely. It is important to prevent ashes from
building up around the Ash Grates. To remove
ashes, use a fireplace shovel. Avoid removing large
live coals by pushing them to the side and removing
only the finer ash with a shovel. It may be necessary
to lift out the Ash Grates temporarily with a poker or
hook temporarily while cleaning out the ash from the
Fire Bowl.
Disposal of ashes - Ashes should be placed directly
into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Do not
place any other items or trash into the metal
container. Do not pour water into the container.
Replace the container’s lid and allow the ashes to
cool. Never place the ash disposal container on a
combustible surface or vinyl flooring, as the
container could be hot!
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground outside, well
away from all combustible materials, liquid fuels, or
vehicles. Retain ashes in the closed container until
all coals thoroughly cool.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
NEVER place ashes in wooden or plastic containers,
in trashcans with other trash, or in paper or plastic
bags, no matter how long the fire has been out.
Coals within a bed of ashes can remain hot for
several days once removed from the firebox.
MAINTENANCE
When the Outdoor Appliance is cool, it is a good idea
to periodically check the hardware, tightening any
hardware that may have worked loose. Also check
the Fire Bowl, Levelling Base, and Fire Grill Stand for
stability, wobble and to re-level if necessary.
Essential that the stand is secure and bolted down.
