Fire pits are a great way to get a real outdoor experience in the comfort of your own backyard. However, anytime you are dealing with fire, you should always be mindful of precautions to take to avoid accidents or injuries. Always make sure that your fire pit is not located underneath trees or power lines. There should be a minimum 10ﾒ circle around the pit that is clear of dry leaves or anything flammable. Build your fire slowly, and use kindling, instead of lighter fluid, to start your fire. Use a long poker to adjust the fire so you will avoid burns from flyaway sparks. Always keep a garden hose or bucket of water nearby, and make sure guests do not walk, sit, or stand within 3 feet of the fire pit.
