Fire Pit Pellet Adapter

Absolutely! The pellet adapter sits on top of the base plate and will not interfere with any accessories placed on top of the fire pit.

If using Pi Fire or Cast Iron Cooktops, ensure that your pellets are food safe. Additionally, do not place your Cast Iron Cooktop or Pi Fire on the fire pit until the secondary burn and flame height begins to decrease. It’s recommended to use Mini Oak Firewood, or other small wood chunks, to maintain heat after the pellets have burned down.

Yes, you will! When using the pellet adapter in your fire pit you can expect to get a beautiful secondary burn within 15 minutes of lighting your starters (depending on how many starters you use.) With a full fire pit, this secondary burn can last for 2 hours regardless of the size of your fire pit.

After your fire pit has cooled completely, remove the pellet adapter using the integrated handle, and dump the ashes into a fire-safe bin. If there is residue on the adapter afterward, use a stiff bristle brush to clear away any debris.

Feel free to use as many fire starters as you feel necessary. The following quantities, evenly spaced around the opening of the fire pit, produced a secondary burn within 15 minutes of lighting them:

Ranger - 4 Starters

Bonfire - 5 Starters

Yukon- 6 Starters

Canyon - 7 Starters

Pellet fires are more prone to being blown out from gusts of wind. This is rare, but can occur. If this happens while your fire is lit, there will immediately be an intense cloud of smoke. If this happens to you, take a long-stem lighter, light it, then place it near the secondary burn holes near the top of your fire pit, and let the smoke ignite. This will clear out the smoke and reignite your fire quickly.

It’s important not to add too many pellets at a time, as this could suffocate your flame and cause your fire to smoke and be extinguished. Use a small garden shovel to add 2-3 cups of pellets at a time, sprinkling them evenly across the opening of the fire pit.

Be sure to add pellets while there is still a secondary flame. Adding pellets after the fire has gotten too low will cause the newly added pellets to smoke and not light correctly.

Yes, you can! After inserting your pellet adapter, fill your fire pit with 3-4 inches of pellets, place starters evenly around the top of them, and light the starters. Add pieces of firewood as needed after your fire achieves secondary burn (or about 10-15 minutes).
