NOTE: If no garden hose is available, you can pour water over the Fire Pit. Use caution as this
generates a significant amount of steam and smoke. You can also use sand or a dry chemical
extinguisher that is specified for wood fire applications.
The safest and preferred method for extinguishing a fire is to wait it out and allow the fire to burn
out naturally. This method takes the longest but results in the least amount of smoke, less mess, and
the best experience. To ensure the fire goes out competely, NEVER leave the Fire Pit unattended.
Only in the case of an emergency should you use a garden hose and water:
• Stand back at least 5 ft. while spraying to avoid the hot steam and debris.
• Spray the coals and inside the Fire Pit continuously for 5 minutes or until there is no visible flames
and steam has dissipated.
• Using your fire poker (sold separately), stir remaining contents to ensure no hot coals or flames
remain. Spray an additional 5 minutes if flames persist.

Keep the re going
With proper care, you can improve the efficiency and performance
of your Fire Pit and prolong its life. Here is how you should care for
your Fire Pit:
• Cover during periods of inactivity. Cover the Fire Pit after the Fire
Pit has completely cooled.
• Use 2 people to move the Fire Pit. The Fire Pit is 50 lbs. when
empty and is dangerous to move with 1 person.
• Clean out ash regularly after Fire Pit has cooled completely.
Cleaning regularly will help maintain airflow and reduce smoke.
Carefully brush the left-over ash through the grate and into the
ash tray. Remove the ash tray (F) and dispose of the ash and
debris properly. Wood ash mixed with water creates a basic
(alkaline) solution which can affect finishes and stainless steel.
You should always use metal containers for ash disposal.
Never leave the ash container on a combustible surface.
DO NOT use or dispose of ash in a garden or landscape application
unless you review local laws and ordinances.
• Clean the Fire Pit with dish soap or baking soda. Rinse clean with
water. Thoroughly clean the top of the Fire Pit if you notice any
residue. DO NOT use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners as they will
damage the finish. Thoroughly dry the Fire Pit with a soft cloth to
prevent rust from forming.
Care & maintenance
CAUTION: Allow the Fire Pit to cool for at least 12 hours before performing any cleaning or
maintenance. Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves when moving or handling
product.
• Remove the center cone (C) from the Fire Pit. This will increase airflow and
make more room for the firewood to sit below the rim of the fire pit. This will
help reduce smoke.
• Stack kindling, newspaper, a commercially-available fire starter or TIKI

Fire Starter, in the center of the Fire Pit.
• Build larger pieces of wood around the fire starter.
• Ignite the kindling, newspaper, or fire starter with a match. Use with caution
as these ignitable materials could catch fire quickly and could cause burns if
your hand is too close to the fire.
• DO NOT use lighter fluid to light the natural cut wood. Logs should be less
than 16 in. in length. DO NOT use any flammable fluids (gasoline, lighter fluid,
etc.) to light or relight fires. Doing so could cause serious injury and lead to
the fire getting out of control.
