HOW TO
BUILD THE
ULTIMATE
FIRE
Always practice
safety rst when
using the Breeo
®
ash shovel.
When using your
Breeo ash shovel,
exercise the same
precautions you
would with any open
re. Never leave
your Breeo ash
shovel unattended,
especially around
children and pets.
Ash shovel may have
sharp edges.
Make sure your re
pit and coals are
completely cool
before using your ash
shovel. (A good time
to clean out ash is
before your next burn
to allow some time
for your pit and ashes
to cool down.)

FOR YOUR
SAFETY
STEP 1
CHOOSE YOUR FUEL.
Select a restarter material, like shredded newspaper or card-
board, a dry, thinly split softwood for kindling, and a dry, split
hardwood for your main fuel. Make sure your fuel is less than
4ʺ in diameter. Focus on creating as much airow as possible
throughout the whole re building process.
STEP 2
BUILD A LOG CABIN.
Start with 2 full-size pieces of cord wood and lay them cad-
dy-corner on the X Airow™ system across from each other.
Then, lay two pieces of kindling perpendicular across those.
Fill the inside square with your restarter. Continue with the
pattern in kindling until it approaches the top of your re pit,
lling the center with restarter as you go, if you’re using
newspaper or cardboard. If you’re using another type of re-
starter, you can place it in the middle when you start building,
but there’s no need to ll the whole structure with it. Taper the
“cabin” inward as you get close to the top.
STEP 3
LIGHT IT UP.
Using a grill lighter or a long match, light the restarter at the
bottom of the log cabin. We do NOT recommend using regular
matches, as they can be harder to use when you’re reaching
into the re pit.
STEP 4
FEED THE FLAMES.
Once you’ve got a tiny blaze going, start adding cord wood
without disrupting or knocking over the kindling cabin. Starting
with smaller cord wood pieces and gradually using larger ones
as the re grows, lay the pieces toward the perimeter of the
bottom of the re pit. This will help your re spread evenly
around your re pit.
STEP 5
LET IT BURN OUT.
When you’re done with your re, patiently wait for the re to
burn out on its own. Don’t pour water on it, and never leave
your re unattended. If you do need to walk away, always cover
with a spark screen and make sure there’s nothing near the re
pit that could catch on re or be damaged. Clean out the ashes
every 4-5 burns once the re pit cools to maintain airow and
always have a smokeless re.
