Use fire starter logs? Can you use the fire starter logs in this pit?

I have used starter logs, and small starter chunks. I do have a bed of sand and a charcoal grate at the bottom of the pit though to disperse the heat.

I use charcoal to get fire started the just use wood to do the smoking , works good for me that way

Those are actually used for the fire starter stick. You basically strike the stick against those bumps quickly and it creates a spark which is what will help start your fire. Hope this helps.

If you keep the fire in the pit... it should be fine use small pieces that do not extend past the edge of the pit an if your still concerned wet the grass before hand so it won't catch

I don't see why not, as long as you can fit medium to small sized logs so the grill can seat properly

Sure, no problem. I often start the wood with miscellaneous paperwork. Always have the screen on top and be aware paper can generate more flying ash than wood.

Yes, you can. I placed mine in a standard metal fire pit and that works too.

We have not tried that, but I believe that wood burns differently than the charcoal. I think you could use smoking chips, the kind you wet and throw on the coals, but I don't think wood is recommended.

For safety, you have to consider the height of the deck and distance from your house, since wind could inadvertently blow fire towards your home. If that doesn't seem likely, then you definitely have to place stone pavers under the pit. All fire pits get hot underneath. I've seen people sear their deck after repeated use of a fire pit. Also for safety, fill the base with sand.

The center of the bowl has a small hole (maybe 1-2" diameter) for rain drainage but ash and embers fall through the center onto whatever is underneath the pit. Personally, I'd stay away from starting a fire on or around wood that is not intended for burning purposes (ie wood decking).

If you can put a sterno can in a fire place, then you can use this in it also. I don't have a fire place so I wouldn't know about placing the sterno in it. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. I love my log set, we use it outside by our hot tub!

You can but once you place your logs; you'd want the area cleared before you start your fire. We have a gas fireplace and I am assuming you do as well.

I am not 100% sure if you can or cannot use charcoal. We have only used wood.

Heck yes!!!!! It will smoke quite a bit during start up once coals are white add the Wood...I recommend a Charcoal Chimney to start coals about 14 bucks last for years.

Yes, you can use your own firewood but I would not recommend this firepit. It is not sturdy and is smaller than it looks.

It will hold decent size logs. We've built some nice warm fires with this pit. For safety purposes use moderation but this is a nice pit to sit around.

No, just the logs, but they are much bigger and heavier than ones that come with firepits. My dogs used those as chew toys but they haven't touched these.
