How to Use a City Bonfire Safely

1. Check local rules: Confirm that open flame and solid-fuel fires are allowed at the property, campground, park, beach or event location.
2. Inspect the product: Do not light a damaged, leaking, contaminated or water-exposed unit.
3. Choose the surface: Place the tin outside on a stable, level, noncombustible and heat-resistant base, such as an appropriate metal trivet, brick, stone or approved fire-pit surface.
4. Clear the area: Keep the fire away from vegetation, furniture, buildings, tents, canopies, overhangs, clothing and other combustible materials.
5. Remove the lid: Set it nearby on a heat-safe surface so it is available for extinguishing.
6. Light the briquettes: Follow the current package instructions and use a long wand or torch-style lighter when recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Remain present: Keep the fire within sight for the entire burn period.
8. Extinguish with the lid: Slide or place the lid over the opening to smother the flame. Never pour water onto the unit.
9. Allow complete cooling: Do not touch, carry or store the product until the tin, lid and wax are completely cool and the wax has hardened.

Review the manufacturer’s official City Bonfire instructions and complete fire and safety warning before use.

Can You Roast Marshmallows Over a City Bonfire?

City Bonfires says the product can be used for roasting marshmallows when the current instructions are followed. The manufacturer recommends allowing the unit to burn for approximately 20 minutes—or until any initial smoke has stopped—before roasting food.

• Use long roasting skewers suitable for an open flame.
• Keep hands, sleeves, hair and loose clothing away from the fire.
• Roast from the side rather than directly above the hottest portion of the flame when directed by the manufacturer.
• Supervise every person near the fire.
• Do not allow children to light, extinguish or move the unit.
• Do not place food that has fallen into the wax or fuel back onto a serving plate.

Food and roasting supplies are not included in this five-pack. For a gift-ready alternative containing a portable fire and s’mores supplies, compare the City Bonfires S’mores Night Pack – Happy Birthday Edition.

Where Can a City Bonfire Be Used?

Potential outdoor uses include:

Where Should It Never Be Used?

Never add:

• Rubbing alcohol

Adding unapproved fuel can create an uncontrolled fire or serious burn hazard.
