Troubleshooting
Fire pit does not light easily.
Ensure you are using dry, seasoned firewood and have adequate kindling. Check that the fire pit is properly ventilated and not overcrowded with wood.
Uneven heat distribution.
Try rearranging the logs to allow for better airflow. Ensure the fire pit is on a level surface.
Ash buildup hindering performance.
Allow the fire pit to cool completely and safely remove excess ash. Leaving a small layer of ash can help insulate the base, but heavy buildup can impede airflow.
Surface appears to be rusting.
Light surface rust can be gently buffed away with steel wool. For more significant rust, consider using a high-temperature resistant paint or sealant designed for fire pits.
