Wood Burning Fire Pit Care and Maintenance
 Locate underground utilities before beginning any
excavation
 Fire Pit for outdoor use only
 Never use in an enclosed area
 Do not use on or near combustible surfaces or structures (i.e.
wood decks, wood or vinyl siding, dry leaves or grass, etc.)
 Keep away from combustible substances (gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, aerosol cans, etc.)
 Fire pit and ring will become hot when in use
 Build fire pit away from house and overhangs
 Avoid use during windy or dry conditions
 Keep out of reach of children
 Do not use to burn leaves or trash
 Never leave unit unattended while in use
 Extinguish all flame and embers before leaving
 Do not modify unit
 Dispose of cold ashes properly
 Contact local municipality regarding burn restrictions prior
to use
 Use of a fire screen can reduce risk of fires
 If converting to gas unit, follow all above safety
requirements as well as those of the gas insert
Note: Excessive heat may cause concrete blocks to crack or turn
black in color. Avoid discoloration and/or cracking by placing
aggregate such as sand or lava rock in the base of the pit to
dissipate heat. The steel ring insert is subject to natural
deterioration due to weather conditions and heat exposure.
StoneBilt Concepts does not warrant the steel ring insert.
Efflorescence, a whitish, powder like substance that can appear on
block, is a natural occurring by-product of concrete and will
disappear over time or with the use of efflorescence cleaner.
