The TIKI® Brand Fire Pit is a portable outdoor fire pit designed for recreational use, offering a convenient and enjoyable way to have a fire. It is specifically designed to be used with TIKI® Brand Wood Packs, which are made from wood pellets mixed with a starter fluid and sealed in an easy-light bag, providing an energy-dense and sustainable way to start a fire. The fire pit can also accommodate traditional firewood, up to 16 inches in length.

Function Description:

The primary function of the TIKI® Brand Fire Pit is to provide a contained and efficient outdoor fire. It is designed for ease of setup, use, and cleanup, making it suitable for various outdoor settings. The fire pit utilizes a unique center cone design that optimizes burning conditions for the TIKI® Brand Wood Packs, ensuring a good burn quality and duration. When using Wood Packs, the fire pit aims to produce a full and consistent flame for approximately 30 minutes. It also allows for the use of traditional firewood for longer burns or different flame control. The design incorporates an ash pan for easy ash removal and cleanup.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Fuel Type: TIKI® Brand Wood Packs (wood pellets with starter fluid) or dry seasoned firewood (up to 16 inches in length).
• Safety Distance: Must be operated at least 15 feet away from walls, structures, or buildings.
• Flame Height: Flames may reach a height of 3 feet above the top of the Fire Pit.
• Wood Pack Burn Time: Approximately 30 minutes for a full and consistent flame.
• Cool Down Time (Wood Pack): Approximately 6-8 hours for complete consumption and minimal ash before covering.
• Material (Wood Packs): Wood pellets made from sawdust, a by-product of manufacturing processes (lumber, window frames, hardwood flooring, etc.).

Usage Features:

• Initial Setup:
  1. Remove all contents from the packaging.
  2. Remove the ash pan.
  3. Set the fire pit into the foot ring and screw it into place.
  4. Re-insert the ash pan.
  5. Place the fire pit in a safe location, ensuring it is at least 15 feet away from any combustible materials, structures, or buildings. It should not be used under patio roofs, low-hanging branches, trellises, or any kind of overhang.
• Starting a Fire with Wood Pack:
  1. Place a TIKI® Brand Wood Pack onto the center cone inside the fire pit.
  2. Light each corner of the Wood Pack bag. No lighter fluid or newspaper is needed.
  3. As the bag burns, the wood pellets will spill out. There is no need to stir the pellets. The fire should fill the fire pit within 5 minutes.
  4. After approximately 30 minutes, or as the flames die down, add another Wood Pack or traditional firewood to continue the fire.
• Using Firewood: For best results, use dry seasoned wood that has been split and cut to a length of 16 inches or less. The center cone can be removed for additional room when using larger wood logs, though burning Wood Packs without the cone will result in poor burn quality.
• Flame Control: The Wood Pack is designed for a consistent flame for about 30 minutes. For more control over flame size, use wood logs and adjust the quantity as desired.
• Cooking/Roasting: Marshmallows or other food can be cooked over the fire pit, provided all safety instructions and warnings are followed. If cooking over a TIKI® Fire Pit and Wood Pack, it is recommended to wait until the flames die down and the wood pellets begin to form glowing coals.
• Emergency Extinguishing: In an emergency, stand back at least 5 feet and spray the coals continuously with a garden hose for 5 minutes or until they have cooled. This helps avoid hot steam and debris. After extinguishing, empty the ash pan and thoroughly dry the fire pit to prevent rust.

Maintenance Features:

• Cool Down: After use, allow the fire to burn out completely and cool down. Cooling times will vary depending on the fuel used. For TIKI® Brand Wood Packs, this typically takes 6-8 hours for complete consumption and minimal ash.
• Emptying Ash Pan: The ash pan should be emptied after every use. Remove the ash pan and properly dispose of the ash.
• Cleaning Ash from Fire Pit Bottom: Remove the center cone and carefully sweep ash through the bottom holes into the ash pan. Once all ash has been swept through, remove the ash pan and dispose of the ash properly.
• Cleaning the Fire Pit: If soot or ash accumulates on the outside of the fire pit, wipe it down with a damp cloth.
• Covering: Once the fire pit is completely cool and all ash has been removed (ensuring no embers are left), cover it and store it for next use.

Important Warnings and Safety Information:

• Outdoor Use Only: The TIKI® Brand Fire Pit is strictly for outdoor use.
• Hot Surfaces: Do not touch the fire pit when in use or while hot, as it will be extremely hot.
• Supervision: Never leave the fire pit unattended while in use or while hot, especially when children or pets are nearby. Operate only under the supervision of an adult.
• Combustible Surfaces: Do not place the fire pit on any combustible surface such as wood, dry grass, leaves, or mulch.
• Read Instructions: Do not use the fire pit until you have read all operating instructions and safety warnings. Failure to do so can cause death, serious injury, or property damage.
