Using the Christopher Knight Home® Easton 34 - inch Circular Fire Pit is a breeze. First, find a flat and stable surface, either in your backyard or on your patio. Place the fire pit on it. Then, gather your firewood or use a suitable fuel source. Light the fire carefully. You can adjust the intensity of the fire by adding or removing fuel. When you're done using it, let the fire burn out completely. Once it's cool, you can clean out the ashes. To maintain it, keep it covered when not in use to protect it from the elements. If it gets dirty, you can wipe it down with a damp cloth. Always follow local fire safety regulations and keep a fire extinguisher nearby just in case.
