HOW WOOD BURNING SMOKELESS FIRE PITS WORK

STEP 1

DIAMOND VENT HOLES

Air enters the fire pit through the diamond vent holes located on the base of the fire pit.

STEP 2

DUAL WALL CONSTRUCTION

Air circulates below the wood and also through the dual wall.

STEP 3

SECONDARY BURN

Air exits through the top vent holes, forcing the smoke to circulate back into the fire pit.

TIPS FOR BUILDING A
SMOKELESS FIRE

The Dragonfire® fire pit is designed to reduce smoke with proper use. It is
common to have some smoke escape the fire pit when the fire is first ignited.
This will cease once the fire is burning and the air is circulating.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Only need three types of wood to light up your Dragonfire®. We recommend
hardwood, such as oak, because it burns longer and hotter than softwood.

FIRE STARTERS OR SMALL TWIGS

For fire starters, we prefer wood nuggets, wood fire sticks, paper rolls, or dry twigs.

HARDWOOD SPLITS FOR KINDLING

To make kindling, split logs using the Dragonfire® Xtreme Kindling Cutter or a hatchet.

HARDWOOD LOGS FOR FUEL

Use hardwood logs cut to around 14-16” in length.

STEP 1

USE SMALL KINDLING LOGS
TO CREATE A BASE

Take your small kindling logs and create a square border around the center of your Dragonfire®. This will keep the fire starters you add in place.

STEP 2

PLACE FIRE STARTERS ON THE BASE GRATE

You’ll need to use 2-3 fire starters to help get your fire roaring. Space your fire starters evenly inside the square border.

STEP 3

USE SMALL LOGS OR STICKS
TO FORM A TEEPEE

Take one of your smaller pieces of kindling and place it on top of the square border. Create a teepee with the rest of your kindling by stacking them into a pyramid. Stacking your kindling allows air to flow to an ember bed to fuel your larger firewood logs.

STEP 4

LIGHT FIRE STARTERS

Use a long-nose lighter or a long match to light your firestarters.

STEP 5

ADD LARGER LOGS AND
ENJOY!

After around 2-3 minutes your kindling should be fully caught
and a nice ember bed should
start to form. One at a time, start to add your larger hardwood logs. Allow each log to catch fire before adding another. Never place hardwood logs higher than the deflector ring as this will
prevent airflow and circulation.
