HOW TO BUILD THE
ULTIMATE
SMOKELESS FIRE
STEP 1
CHOOSE YOUR FUEL.
Select a firestarter material, like shredded newspaper or cardboard,
a dry, thinly split softwood for kindling, and a dry, split hardwood for
your main fuel. Make sure your fuel is less than 4ʺ in diameter. Focus
on creating as much airflow as possible throughout the whole fire
building process.
STEP 2
BUILD A LOG CABIN.
Start with 2 full-size pieces of cord wood and lay them caddy-cor-
ner on the X Airflow™ system across from each other. Then, lay two
pieces of kindling perpendicular across those. Fill the inside square
with your firestarter. Continue with the pattern in kindling until it
approaches the top of your fire pit, filling the center with firestarter
as you go, if you’re using newspaper or cardboard. If you’re using an-
other type of firestarter, you can place it in the middle when you start
building, but there’s no need to fill the whole structure with it. Taper
the “cabin” inward as you get close to the top.
STEP 3
LIGHT IT UP.
Using a grill lighter or a long match, light the firestarter at the bottom
of the log cabin. We do NOT recommend using regular matches, as
they can be harder to use when you’re reaching into the fire pit.
STEP 4
FEED THE FLAMES.
Once you’ve got a tiny blaze going, start adding cord wood without
disrupting or knocking over the kindling cabin. Starting with smaller
cord wood pieces and gradually using larger ones as the fire grows,
lay the pieces toward the perimeter of the bottom of the fire pit. This
will help your fire spread evenly around your fire pit.
STEP 5
LET IT BURN OUT.
When you’re done with your fire, patiently wait for the fire to burn out
on its own. Don’t pour water on it, and never leave your fire unattend-
ed. If you do need to walk away, always cover with a spark screen
and make sure there’s nothing near the fire pit that could catch on fire
or be damaged. Clean out the ashes every 4-5 burns once the fire pit
cools to maintain airflow and always have a smokeless fire.
Always practice safety rst
when using the Breeo
®
kettle
hook. When using your Breeo
re pit & accessories, exercise
the same precautions you would
with any open re. Never leave
your Breeo re pit & accessories
unattended, especially around
children and pets.
Do not overll your kettle hook.
Do not exceed 20lbs. of weight
on the 19in. kettle hook or 40lbs.
of weight on the 24in. kettle
hook.
Never swing the kettle hook all
the way to the back of the re
pit when loaded. The weight can
cause the re pit to tip and spill
the hot contents of your kettle
and re pit.
When adjusting the height of
your kettle hook, or swinging
it from side to side, always
wear gloves or use other heat
protection to avoid burns.
