How to Use a Fire Pit

Like indoor fireplaces, a fire pits provide hours of fun and enjoyment. But like a fireplace, where you position your fire pit and safety issues are important.

But don't be intimidated by following a few simple rules, you can safely enjoy your outdoor fire pit nearly anywhere in your backyard.

First, take a good look around when you position your fire pit. You should be several feet away from any flammable structure - your home, deck, overhangs, trees, etc. You should also keep your fire pit away from heat sensitive plants, and never place it near dry grass, bales of hay, open firewood, and other materials that could ignite.

Then, once you've determined safe locations, you'll want to consider how you want your guests to interact. You may want to position your fire pit table in an out-of-the-way place for late night intimate gatherings. Or, you may want it more centrally located to encourage conversation and interaction between your guests.

Once you have your fire pit positioned, then it's time to light fire! Be sure not to overload the wood burning fire pit - you don't want the flames to get too high. And never use pressure treated wood. It emits toxic fumes. You can tell if wood is pressure treated by its green tint.

With a little thought as to placement and a little care given to building your fire, you can get years of enjoyable use out of your backyard fire pits.
