Safety when using a fire pit
While owning a fire pit is all about fun, it is also essential to make sure safety is a priority:
- Supervise children at all times when the fire is lit as the steel will get very hot.
- Set your fire pit on stone, brick, gravel or on a slab on decking (it will develop rust as it ages which can mark stone surfaces). If putting your fire pit on grass, be aware it may get scorched underneath.
- Ensure a spark will not reach anything flammable.
- Keep a supply of water to hand in case you need to damp down the fire.
- Always use protective gloves when handling things such as BBQ racks.
- Ensure your fire pit is out (or put the lid on) before leaving it unattended.

Using your fire pit
Only use well-seasoned dry wood to reduce smoke. You can also use charcoal (but not house coal).
Make a fire with plenty of logs and burn for at least half an hour before you want to use it (the first half hour of burning produces the most smoke).

Ideally, leave an hour before cooking to allow embers to form. You can separate the bigger logs to one side so that you can keep your fire ticking over while you cook over the embers.
If you’re in a hurry to cook, add charcoal to the fire once it’s going and move the bigger logs to one side.
After cooking remove the rack, load more logs and enjoy the warmth of the fire.
