The LUME comes in two sizes with sear and non-sear options. The LUME can be placed in a variety of outdoor areas and can also be dropped into a paving system for a built-in application. If installing the freestanding LUME in an SRW/Paver application, do not attach the legs to the unit (review the Fits Opening dimensions on page 2). Stack wood at the open base of the pit using the log cabin technique, light it, and then allow a few minutes for the fuels to ignite properly.

Clearance to Combustibles (Not to be used in an enclosed space)
This fire pit is designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use. The LUME should NEVER be used in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Avoid using near or under overhanging trees and shrubs.
CAUTION: Due to the Stainless Steel construction of the LUME, there is potential for sharp edges. It is recommended to use gloves for installation.
Install the fire features on any level, flat, stable, non-combustible surface.
Vents are required for any solid concrete firepit.
SRW (Segmented Retaining Wall) does not require vents and are optional as long as they are not cemented together, but are recommended for best performance. Ventilation can be accomplished by cutting an inch off of the width of 3 wall stones and space symmetrically around the perimeter at the elevation of the bottom of the LUME insert. A no-cut option is the use of a PAVER-VENT4LNTS or PAVER-VENT6LNTS depending on the height of the wall stone used.

SUGGESTED FUEL

Selecting the right wood will depend on preference for comfort, aroma, and visual image.
If you want constant heat output and a short flame with glowing coals, hardwood such as hickory, oak, or beech is recommended.
If short hot fire for damp weather, select a softer wood such as redwood, fir, or white pine.

a year.
CHERRY| Burns at medium heat, sweet burning aroma, sparks a lot – doesn’t produce lots of smoke.
BIRCH| Burns very quickly, bright – hot burning, good firestarter.
PINE| High sap content, burns messy, don’t use as exclusive firewood.
ELM| Very dense – hardwood, difficult to split, and does not smell great as it burns.
CHESTNUT| Burns and splits easily, burns at low heat, sparks a lot, and heavy smoke.

*For best results, do not overfill the bonfire (LUME) with logs that cover or extend above the top air holes.

MAINTENANCE

Clean out ashes every 2-3 Burns or when ash covers lower holes to maintain airflow for a smokeless fire.
When you are finished enjoying your fire, do not extinguish the fire with water. Let the fire extinguish on its own.
During winter months in cold climates and various seasons of operation, the fire feature may be affected by weather conditions. It is recommended to use a cover/lid overtop of your fire pit opening to protect it from humid/rainy weather conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours can affect the operation of the LUME if not covered.
Stainless steel materials used in the construction of your LUME are highly rust-resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel
In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the unit.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Choosing Fuel – Dry, seasoned, split hardwoods cut to less than 24” in length. 16-18” is the optimal length.
Recommended wood placement – For best performance firewood should be concentrated on the outer edges of the firepit and over a bed of coals.
Lighting – Kindling stacked around crumpled newspaper is an easy method for a 1-match fire.
Once the kindling is burning slowly add increasingly larger diameter pieces of wood.
Feeding flames – When adding logs to the fire as it burns down there will be additional smoke.
Burn out – Allow the fire to burn out on its own. Avoid snuffing with the lid or extinguishing with water.

DISCLAIMER: LUME is a Smoke-less wood-burning fire pit. The term Smoke-less means reduced smoke as compared with a typical fire pit. The design allows it to be catalytic. By introducing heated air to the top of the fire where it mixes with the unburned fuel (smoke) and allows it to burn a second time. This process does take time to begin. It relies on the outer walls being very hot to create convection to move the air. The ignition of your fire, it will take between 15-30 minutes. You may see fire projecting from the series of holes around the top.
