Using your Christopher Knight Home® Bolton Outdoor Fire Pit is easy. First, place it in a safe outdoor area away from anything flammable. Then, put some dry firewood inside the pit. You can use a fire starter to help get the fire going. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and enjoy the warmth. Remember to always use the spark screen to prevent sparks from flying out and causing a fire. When you're done using the fire pit, let the fire burn out completely. Use the poker to move the ashes around to make sure there are no embers left. After the fire is out and the pit is cool, you can clean it. You can use a brush to remove any ash or debris. Keep the fire pit covered when not in use to protect it from the weather. This will help it last a long time and keep looking great.
