What Should I Pay Attention to When Using an Outdoor Fire Pit?

When using an outdoor fire pit, you need to pay attention to safety, operation and maintenance to ensure a safe and efficient outdoor barbecue or campfire experience.

Safety precautions

1. Where to use:

Always use it outdoors and make sure the ground under the fire pit is concrete, sand, asphalt, gravel, bricks or piled dirt. If you need to use it on wood or grass, you should lay an insulating mat to isolate the heat transfer.

2. Wind protection measures:

In windy environments, you should take measures to block the wind for the fire pit to reduce the impact of airflow on combustion.

3. Fire source management:

Before use, make sure the inside of the fire pit is clean and free of residue. When igniting, you should use an igniter and add fuel gradually, starting with small pieces of fire starter and thin firewood, and then gradually add larger firewood. During the burning process, avoid adding wet fuel or excessive fuel to avoid affecting the overall temperature and generating smoke.

4. Monitoring and fire extinguishing:

Always monitor the fire during use to ensure safety. To stop the burning, never pour water directly into the fire pit. The fire can be controlled by adjusting the fan speed or adding more fuel. Once the fire is finished, wait until the fire pit is completely cool before cleaning it.
