SAFETY INFORMATION

MAJOR CAUSES OF UNCONTROLLED FIRES ARE A RESULT OF POOR CARE AND A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS PRODUCT BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble and operate the product. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free use of your new Fire Pit. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any Fire Pit being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
  1. A minimum clearance of 2.4 m (96 inches) from combustible constructions to all sides of the Fire Pit to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not position on combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use in vehicles, tents, indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. Do not place under overhead combustible ceiling, overhang, or canopy of trees. Keep your Fire Pit in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
    Do not leave fire unattended. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
  2. This Fire Pit is designed for burning hardwood pellets, firewood logs or wood chunks only.
    Do not use charcoal, spirit, petrol, gasoline or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your Fire Pit. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
  3. Ensure that the Wind Break is secured over the Burner while in use. During use, this unit can reach extreme temperatures that can cause serious injury. It is recommended to use a poker, heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when using the Fire Pit. Do not use accessories not specified for use with this unit. Do not put a cover or anything flammable on the unit while in use. Ensure the Fire Pit have cooled before placing a cover overtop.
  4. Do not transport your Fire Pit while in use or while the Fire Pit is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the Fire Pit is completely cool to the touch before moving.
  5. Parts of the Fire Pit may be very hot and serious injury may occur. Do not touch surface while in use. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
    This unit is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.
  6. Do not enlarge, modify or alter this product. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and/or bodily harm, and will void your warranty.
  7. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the interior of the Burner for foreign objects, and any air blockage around the fan intake holes. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If the Fire Pit is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the airflow system.
WOOD FUEL

This appliance is designed and approved for wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. Do not use fuel with additives. Wood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an airtight container. If you are storing your Fire Pit, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all ash and remaining fuel from the ash pan to avoid air blockage. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 80008770 BTU/LB, ash content < 1%.

Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your Fire Pit. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.

At time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute. Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“THE SILENT KILLER”)

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

  • See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the unit. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
  • Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Start by filling the Burner of your Fire Pit with hardwood pellets. Wood chips, wood chunk, or firewood logs can also be used, but best results are using hardwood pellets.
    WARNING: Do not fill past the fill-line indicator holes, as this will block airflow for the secondary burn (flame).
  2. Insert lighter gel, liquid fire starter, or apply lighter-fluid to multiple areas of the fuel.
  3. Use either a long handled lighter or match to light firestarter in several locations.
    WARNING: Do not use charcoal, spirit, petrol, gasoline or kerosene for lighting your Fire Pit. This could cause serious injury.
  4. Fire will quickly build in the Burner, ready for enjoyment.
TENDING THE FIRE

Should the fire begin to deminish, or to extend your burn time, periodically add more fuel into the Burner while the fire is still burning. Add a small handful of fuel can be added to one side of the Burner. If using wood pellets as fuel, add small quantities at a time. Excessive amounts of wood pellets added at one time could lead to smothering of fire and excessive smoke.

CAUTION: During use, this unit can reach extreme temperatures that can cause serious injury. It is recommended to use a heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when adding fuel to avoid injury.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE

To extinguish the fire, allow all fuel to burn out.

CAUTION: Do not use water to put out the Fire Pit. This can be harmful to the structure of the Fire Pit and heavily decrease its lifetime.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of use with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your Fire Pit and extend its lifetime:

  1. BURNER COMPONENTS
    • It is recommended to empty the Burner and Ash Pan after every few uses. This will avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash in the bottom. When cool and all fuel has burned completely, lift the Burner Shell off the Ash Pan to dispose of ashes.
    •  With regular use, the bottom of the Burner may discolor. This is a normal occurence and should not be considered a defect of the product.
  2. EXTERIOR
    • Wipe the Burner Shell and Wind Break down as needed. Ensure the Fire Pit is completely cool prior to cleaning.
    • A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.

Dansons carries a one (1) year warranty against defects and workmanship on all parts. Dansons warrants that all part(s) are free of defects in material and workmanship, for the length of use and ownership of the original purchaser.
