A:AnswerMost standard sized logs (that you buy from the store) should work. We recommend anywhere between 12" to 16" logs. Overfilling your fire pit above the upper vent holes will decrease efficiency and produce more smoke. For best results, use dried and split hardwoods. Kiln-dried oak and juniper are excellent options.

A:AnswerWe recommend giving at least 20-25 feet of clearance between your fire pit and any coverings above it. Heat sensitive or easily tarnished materials may require additional clearance to maintain a clean finish. Crafting a safe space now will let you focus on what’s important later. Keep in mind that if you burn in a screen enclosed room, ash may collect on the surfaces in the room.
