What fuel source sho

uld my fire pit have?

Wood. A wood-

burning fire pit is reminiscent of

campfires and outdoor adventures. Wood is an ideal

fuel source for portable fire pits and produces

colorful flames and an earthy fragrance. It will require

clean up after use, however, and can be difficult to

ignite. Don’t use pressure-

treated wood as it might

contain dangerous toxins; instead, consider woods

like red oak, white oak, beech, birch, ash, hickory

and maple.

Charcoal.You

can also try burning charcoal. This is

perfect for a backyard barbecue and roasti

marshmallows for s’mores. However, charcoal, like

wood, will require clean up after use.

Positioning Your Fire Pit

Whether you are using a portable fire pit or planning

to install a permanent one, positioning is key to

safety:

• Make sure the fire pit

is, at minimum, 10 feet away

from any structure or neighboring yard

preferable.

• Do not position a fire pit under a covered porch or

low hanging tree branches.

• Always place a fire pit on a non-

flammable surface,

such as patio blocks or concrete.

• Do not put a fire pit on a wooden deck or directly

on grass.

Preparing Your Fire Pit

• Clear all flammable materials away from your fire

pit before using it. Five feet is a good distance. This

“break” in vegetation will help prevent an escaped

fire from spreading.

• Piling dirt or rocks around the pit will also help

prevent any fire on the ground from escaping.

Lighting Your Fire Pit

• Always check wind direction before you light a fire

and remove anything flammable downwind of the pit.

ideal.

fluid, etc.) to light or relight fire

Using Your Fire Pit

Don’t play with fire or you’ll get burned! Since you’ll

be fueling live flames, it’s important to check with

your city to ensure that your outdoor fire pit is up

to code. Additionally, you’ll always want to clear the

surrounding spa

ce of any loose branches, brush or

flammable materials. Your city may also be able to

provide more specific guidance on how large of an

area must be cleared, but in general, a minimum of

six feet is recommended. Last but certainly not least,

follow these s

afety tips to ensure your fire pit

experience is nothing less than exceptional:

• Never leave a fire pit unattended.

• Never leave children or pets unattended near a fire

pit.

• Consider investing in a wire mesh cover to keep

embers inside and help preven

falling in.

• Limit the amount of fuel you put in the fire

put what's necessary to keep it burning gently.

• Don’t put garbage or paper products into the fire.

They can easily spark and throw off embers or

burning remnants.

• D

on’t wear flammable or loose

near the pit.

• Don’t burn soft woods like pine or cedar. These

can “pop” and throw sparks.

• Even if you follow all of these guidelines, accidents

still happen. Keep a container of water and a hose

nearby in

case of an emergency,

extinguisher easily accessible (and

expired!).



Do not touch your fire pit while it is in use.

Extinguishing Your Fire Pit

• Always

have a shovel nearby to extinguish any

escaped flames and to put out the fire itself.

• Extinguish with water: drown it and stir it with the

shovel to make sure it’s fully extinguished.

• Dispose of the ashes in a safe manner; keep a metal

can that is use

d solely for ash storage. Even after 2

or 3 days, ashes can still be hot enough to cause a

fire.

• Do not discard hot ashes in a compost pile, paper

bag, cardboard box or anything that is combustible.
