TIPS & REMINDERS
Use dry hard woods for best results.
When you use your fire pit firstly, it will take approx. 5-15 minutes to
achieve a desirable flame. The more evenly your fire burns inside your fire
pit, the more prominent the flame pattern showing the secondary combustion
will appear.
Overfilling your fire pit above the top air holes will decrease efficiency and
produce more smoke.
