If you enjoy an outdoor fire, create a warm and enticing atmosphere in your backyard, garden

The IXL difference
Our fire pits are designed and created in our factory in Geelong, Victoria. Their creation
was brought about by a passionate team of engineers and designers who love a flame fire
and are enthusiastic campers, BBQ chefs and outdoors people.
Many hours were spent on the design and testing of our fire pits to ensure their 1.6mm
mild steel constructed bowl and strong 4mm steel legs were up to the high quality of the
IXL brand. A wet spray high temperature coating was the finish added to the pits as further
insurance on outdoor protection and the product's durability. We hope you enjoy many hours
with your IXL fire pit.
Rotisserie not included.

LIGHTING AND TENDING
WOOD FIRE
It is preferable to leave a small amount of ash in the bottom of the bowl between burns. Put
some dry tinder in the centre of your fire pit. Tinder are the small sticks, twigs, and leaves used
to get the fire burning.
Stack your kindling on top of the tinder in a “tepee” structure. Light your kindling.
As the kindling starts to catch and burn, place a layer of dry seasoned hardwood that is cut to
lengths no more than ¾ of the diameter of the bowl.
You will need to tend to the fire by adding logs, or shifting them around for an ideal atmosphere,
however wait until glowing coals have developed before adding additional wood.
BBQ HEAT BEADS, CHARCOAL AND BBQ BRIQUETTES
You may wish to use BBQ heat beads, charcoal or briquettes, particularly for cooking. The
quickest way to heat these is to use fire lighters with a charcoal chimney starter.
Fill the Chimney Starter all the way to the top with charcoal, heat beads or BBQ briquettes. Set
the lighter cubes (approximately 4) on the charcoal grate and light them. Leave for
approximately 30 minutes, or until they go grey. Once ready, transfer to your Pit n Grill.
Alternatively, you can light up directly into your fire pit. Pour sufficient heat beads, briquettes or
charcoal to cover cooking area with one layer, arrange into a pyramid over 2 - 4 firelighters and
light. Leave for approximately 40 minutes, or until they go grey, indicating that they are hot.
WARNING: Remember to always use protective gear and re tools when tending to the re.
Do NOT add kerosene, fuel, alcohol, lighter uid, or gasoline to relight or enhance an
existing re.
Extinguishing
Allow the re to burn itself out and coals and ambers to no longer glow. Use a shovel to spread
the ashes and embers around evenly.
Do NOT use water to extinguish as this is dangerous and can cause damage. If the fire needs
to be put out quickly we suggest using sand spread over the ambers and ash to smother
any remaining re. Do not bury the re or it will continue to smoulder underground and can
eventually reignite.
Alternate stirring the ashes and adding sand to cool the fire.

giving them a charming rustic appeal. However, to ensure longevity removing the ashes is very
important as they are very acidic and destructive to both metal and masonry. It is recommended
also help keep the drain hole open.
If you wish to remove rust you can remove it easily with a stiff wire brush, wire wool or sandpaper
both high temperature and metal.
The BBQ Grill and Flat Plates
It’s important to always keep your IXL grill plate and flat plates well oiled, before and after
layer of cooking oil to the plates when the plates are hot.
After use, clean and oil cook plates and grill and wrap in a clean cloth or hang off the ground on
hooks in the garage, shed or similar. Avoid storing cook plates and grill in damp or wet conditions.
Discolouration of the steel plates is normal. The hottest part of your plate will be directly above the
burners. This will be visible by the discolouration of the plate in this area.
After being stored for a while, small spots of surface rust can appear. This is normal and will not
damage your cook plates. Before using them, simply run some steel wool over these spots to

Rainwater will not damage these robust fire pits, so they can be left outdoors. However, if you wish
for your fire pit to retain its appearance store it in a dry, undercover shed, garage or similar.
If you do not use a cover, store this outdoor fire pit in a dry location to maximise product life when
not in use for long periods.
We recommend storing the fire pit and accessories indoors or undercover, protected from
the elements.
