Lighting Your Fire Pit
IMPORTANT: The TIKI
®
Brand Fire Pit is designed to burn most efficiently with the TIKI
®
Brand
Wood Pack. Natural cut firewood or wood that has been aged/dried at least six months is also
acceptable. Always follow local laws and ordinances when selecting materials to burn.
Tips and Tricks to Consider Before Enjoying Your Fire Pit
If using the Wood Packs (recommended)...
□ Avoid adding a second Wood Pack until the
flames stop reaching above the top of the Fire Pit.
Adding a second Wood Pack too early reduces
your total burn time.
□ TIKI
®
Brand Wood Packs do not require stirring.
The deeper the wood pellet bed remains, the
longer your burn time will extend. Use with
fire poker (sold separately) that is at minimum
40 in. long.
□ TIKI
®
Brand Wood Packs are constructed using
natural hardwood sawdust that are repurposed
from other industrial processes. Burn time will
vary due to the natural variance of woods.
□ When cooking over the TIKI
®
Fire Pit and Wood
Pack, wait until flames die down and the wood
pellets begin to form glowing coals. Follow all
instructions, warnings, and good fire safety
practices.
If using Naturally Cut Firewood...
□ Never use “green” wood. In other words, freshly
cut wood from a live tree (cut less than six
months ago). The moisture content is too high
and will result in incomplete combustion and
smoke.
□ Logs should be no longer than 16 in. in length.
At least one portion of every log should be
touching the bottom of the flame bowl for
maximum stability.
□ Never add flammable or combustible liquids to
the Fire Pit after ignition. This could lead to flare
ups in the ash pan and flame bowl.
