Function Description:

The fire ring is designed to provide a safe and contained environment for burning wood, self-starting fire logs, paper, and charcoal outdoors. It is intended for recreational use, creating a focal point for gatherings and enhancing outdoor living spaces. The "Evening Sky" design suggests a decorative element, likely featuring cut-out patterns (such as stars and crescent moons, as depicted in the image) that allow light to emanate from the fire, creating an aesthetic effect.

  • 4 Die-cut Metal Panels (A)
  • 12 Bolts (B)

• Material: Powder-coated metal (as indicated by the note regarding discoloration due to high temperatures).
• Assembly: Requires assembly of four quarter-ring panels using bolts and nuts to form a circular structure.

Usage Features:

  • Surface Restrictions: Must NOT be used on wood decks or any other flammable surfaces (e.g., dry grass, leaves, mulch).

  • Supervision: NEVER leave the product unattended while in use.
  • Children: NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN, and small children should not be allowed near the flame due to flying embers in windy conditions.
  • Ventilation: Must be used in well-ventilated and open areas to prevent carbon monoxide build-up.
  • Fire Extinguishing Materials: Users are advised to have fire-extinguishing materials nearby.
  • Protective Gear: Always wear protective gloves when handling the product to avoid injury from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
• Decorative Design: The "Evening Sky" name and visual representation suggest decorative cut-outs (stars, crescent moons) in the metal panels, which allow firelight to escape, creating an aesthetic pattern.

Maintenance Features:

• Powder-Coated Finish: The fire ring features a powder-coated finish. Users are advised that this finish may discolor slightly during use due to high temperatures, which is a normal characteristic and not a defect.
• Parts Replacement: In case of missing parts, users are instructed not to return the product to the retailer but to contact CobraCo® directly via email (consumercare@woodstream.com) or phone (1-800-323-5800) for replacement parts. This streamlines the support process and avoids unnecessary returns.
• Care and Maintenance (General): While specific cleaning instructions are not detailed, the manual states that "With proper care and maintenance your CobraCo® product will provide you with years of entertainment," implying that regular cleaning and proper storage when not in use would contribute to its longevity. The powder-coated surface typically requires minimal maintenance, usually a wipe-down after cooling.
