Deposits of magnesium and iron may be present on the
beach stones, notably on our light and ivory stones. This
is a natural reaction to heat and is not considered a
defect.
If needed, replacement heat resistant aggregate may be
purchased through DEKKO.
Sooting is an inherent bi-product of natural gas and
propane.
To limit the amount of sooting, avoid placing
rocks/stones directly above the flame as this may cause
excessive impingement.
Alternatively, some soot can be removed by washing
stones with soap and water.
The lava rock and beach stone supplied with all DEKKO
fire pits originate from a volcanic region are considered
“heat resistant” up to 180,000 BTU’s.
Because lava rock and beach stone is a 100% natural
product, occasional cracking and/or popping may occur
when heated or as the stones naturally weather over
time.
When using your fire pit for the first time, it is
recommended to burn the fire pit for at least 1-2 hours
while keeping a safe distance in the rare event that
breakage or popping occurs.
It is recommended to go through your fire pit every 8-12
months and discard stones that have any visible signs of
weathering or cracking.
If needed, heat resistant aggregate may be purchased
through DEKKO.
