BRAND SOCIAL FIRE PIT

NOTE: If no garden hose is available, you can pour water over the Fire Pit. Use caution as this
generates a significant amount of steam and smoke. You can also use sand or a dry chemical
extinguisher that is specified for wood fire applications.
The safest and preferred method for extinguishing a fire is to wait it out and allow the fire to burn
out naturally. This method takes the longest but results in the least amount of smoke, less mess, and
the best experience. To ensure the fire goes out competely, NEVER leave the Fire Pit unattended.
Only in the case of an emergency should you use a garden hose and water:
• Stand back at least 5 ft. while spraying to avoid the hot steam and debris.
• Spray the coals and inside the Fire Pit continuously for 5 minutes or until there is no visible flames
and steam has dissipated.
• Using your fire poker (sold separately), stir remaining contents to ensure no hot coals or flames
remain. Spray an additional 5 minutes if flames persist.
Extinguishing
• Flip over the center dome insert (C) and place back into the Fire Pit. This will
increase airflow and make more room for the firewood to sit below the rim of
the fire pit. This will help reduce smoke.
• Stack kindling, newspaper, a commercially-available fire starter or TIKI

Fire Starter, in the center of the Fire Pit.
• Build larger pieces of wood around the fire starter.
• Ignite the kindling, newspaper, or fire starter with a match. Use with caution
as these ignitable materials could catch fire quickly and could cause burns if
your hand is too close to the fire.
• DO NOT use lighter fluid to light the natural cut wood. Logs should be less
than 16 in. in length. DO NOT use any flammable fluids (gasoline, lighter fluid,
etc.) to light or relight fires. Doing so could cause serious injury and lead to
the fire getting out of control.
