HOW TO BUILD THE
ULTIMATE
SMOKELESS FIRE
STEP 1
CHOOSE YOUR FUEL.
Select a firestarter material, like shredded newspaper or cardboard,
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 airflow as possible throughout the whole fire
building process.
STEP 2
BUILD A LOG CABIN.
Start with 2 full-size pieces of cord wood and lay them caddy-cor-
ner on the X Airflow™ system across from each other. Then, lay two
pieces of kindling perpendicular across those. Fill the inside square
with your firestarter. Continue with the pattern in kindling until it
approaches the top of your fire pit, filling the center with firestarter
as you go, if you’re using newspaper or cardboard. If you’re using an-
other type of firestarter, you can place it in the middle when you start
building, but there’s no need to fill 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 firestarter 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 fire 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 fire grows,
lay the pieces toward the perimeter of the bottom of the fire pit. This
will help your fire spread evenly around your fire pit.
STEP 5
LET IT BURN OUT.
When you’re done with your fire, patiently wait for the fire to burn out
on its own. Don’t pour water on it, and never leave your fire unattend-
ed. If you do need to walk away, always cover with a spark screen
and make sure there’s nothing near the fire pit that could catch on fire
or be damaged. Clean out the ashes every 4-5 burns once the fire pit
cools to maintain airflow and always have a smokeless fire.
Always wait until the re has
burned down to ash only, with
no wood or large coals left in the
re pit. Putting the lid on your
re pit can damage the lid with
the heat causing discoloration
and warping, as well as causing
creosote drips to form on your
re pit and the surface it is
placed on. Creosote cools to a
hard, tar-like substance that is
very difcult to clean off of any
surface, and can cause corrosion
and discoloration.
Your lid is manufactured
of heavy-duty, high-quality
stainless steel, so care should be
taken while handling it to ensure
that it is not dropped or scraped
against any body parts.
Lid edges may be sharp, so care
should be taken at all times to
ensure that it is handled in a
safe manner by individual strong
enough to keep it from damaging
anyone or anything else in your
backyard.
