Frequently asked questions
What is the center dome insert for?
The center dome insert is designed to create optimal
burning conditions for the TIKI
®
Brand Wood Pack.
Burning the Wood Pack with the dome in the ‘natural
wood’ orientation will result in poor burn quality and
burn duration. Always use the dome insert for creating
a fire. It must be flipped upside down when using logs
and can be removed for cleaning. Flipping the dome
creates more space for wood burning in the Fire Pit,
but can be used both ways.
Can I use firewood in the Fire Pit?
Yes. Never use “green” wood. For example, freshly cut
wood from a live tree (cut less than six months prior to
use). The moisture content is too high and will result
in smoke and incomplete combustion. Logs should be
less than 16 in. in length. At least one portion of every
log should be touching the bottom of the flame basin
for maximum stability. Approximately 5-6 standard
split cord wood logs should fit. Never add flammable
or combustible liquids to the Fire Pit after ignition.
This could lead to flare ups in the ash pan and flame
basin.
Can I add more than one Wood Pack?
Avoid adding a second Wood Pack until the flames
stop reaching above the top of the Fire Pit. Adding a
second Wood Pack too early reduces your total burn
time. The Wood Pack burns with a flame for approx.
30 min.
What are the Wood Packs made of?
The patent pending TIKI
®
Brand Wood Pack is made
from wood pellets mixed with a starter fluid and
sealed in the easy light bag. The pellets are made
from sawdust that is sourced as a by-product from a
number of manufacturing processes (lumber, window
frames, hardwood flooring, etc.). The result is an
energy dense and sustainable way to light your fire.
Do I need lighter fluid or newspaper to
start the Wood Pack?
No, simply light the bag in each corner to start the
fire.
Can I control the flame height?
The Wood Pack is designed to maintain a full and
consistent flame for approximately 30 minutes. If
you desire more control over the flame size you
can use wood logs and add more or less based
on preference.
When should I add another Wood Pack or
firewood?
When the flames stop reaching above the top of
the Fire Pit, add another Wood Pack or firewood
to continue burning with a brilliant flame.
Do I have to stir the wood pellets after lit,
if using a Wood Pack?
TIKI

Brand Wood Packs do not require stirring.
The deeper the wood pellet bed remains, the
longer your burn time will extend. Use with fire
poker (sold separately) that is at minimum 30 in.
long.
Can I cook or roast marshmallows over
the Fire Pit?
Yes , if you follow all other instructions, warnings,
and good fire safety practices. If cooking over the
TIKI
®
Brand Fire Pit and Wood Pack, wait until
flames die down and the wood pellets begin to
form glowing coals.
How long do I have to wait before I put the
cover on?
If using the TIKI
®
Brand Wood Pack, this should
take approximately 12 hours and is designed to
completely consume leaving minimal ash. If you
are using wood logs, times will vary depending
on the amount of wood used and consumed.
Be sure to clean out all ash, taking appropriate
safety measures, to ensure there are no embers
left over before putting the cover on.
