Using your steel propane outdoor fire pit table is a breeze. First, make sure the fire pit is placed on a flat and stable surface outdoors. Connect the propane tank to the fire pit following the instructions. Turn on the gas supply and use a long - reach lighter to ignite the fire. Adjust the flame as needed to get the right amount of heat. When you're done, turn off the gas supply to put out the fire. As for safety, always keep the fire pit away from flammable materials and never leave it unattended while in use. Since the fire pit is heat - resistant, it's built to last, but you should still clean it regularly. Use a soft brush to remove ashes from the fire bowl after each use. If you plan to store the fire pit for a long time, make sure it's completely dry and cover it with the lid to protect it from the elements. Remember, the natural gas conversion kit isn't included, so if you want to convert it, you'll have to buy the kit separately and follow the conversion instructions carefully.
