BREEO Y Series Smokeless Fire Pit
BUILT-IN FEATURES
TENDING TO YOUR FIRE PIT
CLEANING
Your Y SERIES fire pit is built out of high-quality 304 stainless steel. This
material is very low maintenance and can be easily cleaned with Bar Keepers
Friend or soda ash, and an abrasive pad. If spraying down with water, allow
the fire pit to dry completely, do not store it wet. If legs are difficult to
adjust, remove legs from the fire pit and clean out any debris or ash that may
have gotten inside the housing.
ASH MAINTENANCE
Ash should be dumped out regularly. Do not allow built-up ash to get wet, this
can cause the metal to degrade or rust. Wait for the fire pit to cool down and
for the fire/coals to completely extinguish before touching or dumping out
ashes. Ashes should always be dumped out in a safe area. Always clean the
ashes out of your Y SERIES fire pit before storing or if not in use for long
periods of time
Y SERIES QUICK START
FIND A LOCATION
Place your Y SERIES fire pit OUTSIDE on a level surface. The area should be
well ventilated with ample room around the fire pit and void of any flammable
objects.
EXTEND LEGS BEFORE USING
Your Y SERIES fire pit is shipped with the legs in full STOW position. You
MUST extend and lock the legs into the middle BURN or high COOK position
before starting a fire. DO NOT BURN WITH LEGS IN THE LOWEST/STOW POSITION
BUILD A FIRE
Start by using good dry split firewood and prepare the kindling to build a
“Log Cabin” in the center of the fire pit. Place paper, fire starters, or
tinder in the center and light. As the fire gets going you can now add more
dry firewood. See the section on how to build a fire for the full guide
FIRE PIT SAFETY
Always have something to put out the fire in case of emergency. Do not burn
fires in illegal areas such as above tree lines or sensitive areas with fire
bans or high potential for forest fires.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
The Breeo Y SERIES Smokeless Fire Pit is designed for outdoor use only. Never use your Y SERIES fire pit in a building, garage, or any enclosed area. Do not use your Y SERIES fire pit in illegal areas or when fire bans or the potential for forest fires exist. Always place your Y SERIES fire pit on a level, stable surface. The legs of your Y SERIES fire pit must be extended and locked into the Middle/BURN or High/COOK setting before lighting. Do not move or adjust the settings of your Y SERIES fire pit when burning. Do not move or store your Y SERIES fire pit until all ashes and coals are extinguished and all surfaces have cooled completely. Never touch ashes or coals to see if they are hot. All surfaces of the fire pit will become extremely hot when in use. To avoid burns, don’t touch any part of the fire pit until it’s completely cool (unless you’re using protective gear like fire gloves, hot pads, potholders, etc.). Exercise the same caution you would with any open fire. When using your Y SERIES fire pit, never leave it unattended, especially around children and pets. When using your Y SERIES fire pit on a combustible surface, we recommend using a spark screen and keeping the wood below the rim to ensure proper fire safety. Always have something to put out the fire in case of emergency. When cooking on your Y SERIES with the Outpost Grill, do not swing the Outpost Grill and Kettle Hook 180° away from the fire pit, this can cause potential tipping.
HOW TO BUILD A FIRE
CHOOSE YOUR FUEL
You can use wood, lump charcoal, or pellets in your Y SERIES fire pit. We
always recommend using natural wood when available and legal to burn
WOOD
There are 3 categories of fuel needed to get your fire burning:
firestarter/tinder, kindling, and split wood or main fuel. Each of these fuel
types contributes to the overall health and performance of your fire
throughout the burn. Using high-quality, very dry materials is extremely
important
- FIRESTARTER
Start with a good firestarter such as wax-dipped tumbleweed or fatwood (resin- soaked pine) pieces. Shredded newspaper or cardboard will also work. Using a natural firestarter is important in preventing carcinogens and gas flavor or smell permeating your fire.
-
KINDLING
We recommend very dry softwoods split down between .5” and 1.5” in diameter. Dried, untreated 2” x 4”s or anything similar will make great kindling, just make sure to split them down into small enough pieces -
SPLIT WOOD
Lastly, you have your main fuel. This will be dried, split wood as small as 2” and no bigger than 4” in diameter, and cut to fit inside the fire pit. Your firewood must be thoroughly dried. If you’re planning to cook, hardwoods are ideal.
BUILD A LOG CABIN
Start with 2 pieces of split wood and lay them parallel to each other over the
Y Airflow™ system to create airflow beneath your fire. Then, stack two pieces
of kindling perpendicular across the split wood, and place your firestarter in
the center of the four walls. Continue stacking the kindling until it
approaches the top quarter of your fire pit (about 4-5 layers), filling the
center with firestarter as you go
LIGHT IT UP
Using a grill lighter or a long match, light the firestarter at the bottom of
the log cabin. We don’t recommend using small matches, as they can be
hazardous and are difficult to use when you’re reaching into the bottom of the
fire pit.
FEED THE FLAMES
Once your kindling starts turning black and the fire begins licking up through
the pieces, you can begin adding small pieces of split wood. Add 1-2 pieces of
wood at a time to keep the fire at a relatively consistent temperature and
height throughout the burn. As you place your split wood on the fire, your log
cabin will begin to break apart. Continue adding wood to the perimeter of the
fire when needed, making sure the wood is never above the fire pit rim.
LUMP CHARCOAL
-
USE A CHARCOAL CHIMNEY
The best way to get the right amount of coals burning in your Y SERIES fire pit is by using a standard-size charcoal chimney. Place firestarter, tinder, and/or paper in the bottom of the charcoal chimney. Then, stack lump charcoal inside the chimney until full. -
LIGHT IT UP
Light at the bottom and wait until coals are burning and hot. Once the coals are hot you can then dump them into the bottom of the fire pit. -
LET IT BURN
This should be the perfect amount of lump charcoal to use in your Y SERIES fire pit. Do not add any more charcoal
WOOD PELLETS
-
BUILD A BASE LAYER
Start by pouring 3”-4” of high-quality pellets into the bottom of your Y SERIES fire pit. It helps to push some of the unlit pellets into a mound in the center of the Y inside the fire pit. Place 2 firestarters close to the Y AirflowTM in each quadrant. Firestarters should be nestled into the pellets with the tops exposed for lighting. -
LIGHT IT UP
Using a grill lighter or long match, light each of the firestarters. We suggest lighting the firestarters the furthest away from you first, then working your way back towards where you are standing, this way you do not have to reach over any flames. -
FEED THE FLAMES
Pellets burn hot and fast, add 1-2 cups at a time to refuel. If you add too much at once, the airflow can slow down, and the pellets may smoke at first until they ignite. Having a small scoop on hand to add pellets is very helpful. You can also add split wood on top of the pellets to keep the fire burning.
LET IT BURN OUT
The recommended method for putting out your fire is to let it burn out. This creates the least amount of ash which results in easy clean-up. DO NOT pour water over the fire pit or leave the fire unattended. If you do need to walk away for any reason be sure to use a spark screen and make sure there is nothing nearby that could catch fire or get damaged. After your ashes cool down, clean out your Y SERIES fire pit by simply using the handle to dump the ashes out in a safe area or container.
