We recommend that you don’t put your fire pit directly onto a patio or stone terrace as the natural aging process can sometimes stain the surface. To prevent this you can place the fire pit on older slabs, a gravel bed or a brick platform.

Gravel is particularly good for absorbing any fat that may fall while you’re cooking. We also recommend that you don’t place your fire pit directly onto a lawn as the heat from the fire will scorch the grass

Depending on which style you choose, the fire pit lids have several uses. They:

• Act as a table top when the fire isn’t lit
• Keep children away from hot ashes and embers
• Put out the fire quickly and easily and stop loose embers and sparks escaping
• To reduce water, snow and leaves collecting in the bowl when you’re not using it

BBQ ash from your burned-down charcoal is basically wood ash, so it is perfect for enriching your soil. Wood ash is a rich natural source of potash – potassium-rich salt – that can act as a natural soil enhancer or compost.

You should light your fire at least an hour before you want to start cooking, longer if possible. This will give it a chance to burn down and create the red-hot embers you need for cooking.

If you try and cook over flames your food will burn on the outside and may not be cooked on the inside. It also won’t taste as nice as food that has been cooked over a glowing wood fire.

For the ideal smokeless flames, a dry fuel will be required. Dry hardwoods such as oak will be ideal as they are low in moisture. As well as this wood fuel pellets will also give you the same effect. We advise you keep your fuel of choice as dry and warm as possible for the best effect.

We recommend the minimum amount of 2-3 logs to start, adding more logs when needed. It is important to keep a consistent flow of logs going to the fire to avoid it dying out too soon. If you are using wood pellets, fill up to the 5cm mark found inside your fire pit to get the best smokeless effects.

Air is super-heated between the double walls of the Fire Pit, this extra hot air causing the smoke to get burnt off before it leaves the fire pit.
