Spark (6" Table Top):
- Primary Fuel: Pellets for the 6" fire pit Spark.
- Secondary Choice: Firewood, chopped to 3-4 inches in height and 1-2 cm in width.
Glow (9" for Balcony):
- Primary Fuel: 5" hardwood for the 9" fire pit Glow.
- Wood Preparation: Ensure the wood is chopped to 5 inches in height and 1 inch in width/diameter. Avoid thick pieces as they may choke the pit.
Radiance (15" for Backyard):
- Primary Fuel: 8" hardwood for the 15" fire pit Radiance.
- Wood Preparation: Chop the wood to 8 inches in height and 1.5-2 inches in diameter.
Note: For both pellets and wood, ensure the fire pit is not filled to the brim. The fuel should be below the secondary vents for optimal performance.
Hardwoods vs. Softwoods
- Hardwoods: Dense woods like oak, maple, and birch burn longer, making them ideal for sustained fires.
- Softwoods: Quick-igniting woods like pine and fir burn faster, making them great for kindling.
- Use wood that has been seasoned (dried) with moisture content less than 20%. Seasoned wood burns more efficiently, produces less smoke, and has better heat output.
- Look for wood that is lighter in weight, has visible cracks at the ends, and sounds hollow when struck.
- Green wood (freshly cut) and wet wood have high moisture content, making them harder to ignite and causing them to produce more smoke and less heat.
