Whether you're heading away for a camping trip, rearranging your backyard, or taking your Wizard Fire Pit to a friend's place, moving it correctly will help protect both your fire pit and your vehicle. Fortunately, Wizard Fire Pits are designed to be surprisingly portable, making it easy to enjoy a smokeless fire wherever your adventures take you.
Always Let It Cool Completely
Before moving your fire pit, make sure the fire has gone out completely and the unit has fully cooled. Stainless steel retains heat for some time after the flames disappear, so it's always best to give it plenty of time before handling it.
Never attempt to transport a fire pit that is still warm or contains hot embers.
Empty the Ash First
Before loading your Wizard Fire Pit into your vehicle, remove any leftover ash and unburnt wood.
Not only does this make the fire pit lighter, but it also prevents ash from spilling during transport and helps keep your vehicle clean.
Fold the Legs Away
One of the features that makes Wizard Fire Pits so portable is the folding leg design.
Simply fold the legs up before transporting the fire pit to create a more compact shape that's easier to carry and store. This also helps prevent the legs from catching on other gear while loading and unloading.
Use the Carry Bag
If you have a Wizard Fire Pit Carry Bag, it's one of the best ways to transport your fire pit.
The bag helps protect your vehicle from ash or marks while also preventing scratches during travel. It's especially handy if you're regularly taking your fire pit camping or to the beach house.
Protect the Finish
Although Wizard Fire Pits are built tough, it's still a good idea to avoid placing heavy items directly on top of them during transport.
If you're carrying camping gear, firewood, or outdoor furniture in the same vehicle, try to position the fire pit where it won't be knocked around during the journey.
For Black Wizard Fire Pits, taking a little extra care helps keep the premium finish looking its best.
Moving It Around Your Backyard
Even if you're only shifting your fire pit from the patio to the lawn, it's worth lifting rather than dragging it.
Dragging can scratch decking, concrete, or pavers and may also damage the fire pit's legs over time.
If you're placing it on a timber deck, don't forget to use a Heatproof Mat underneath before lighting your next fire.
Taking It Camping
Wizard Fire Pits are a fantastic companion for camping adventures, provided fires are permitted where you're staying.
Before lighting up, always check local fire restrictions and make sure you're using the fire pit in a safe, well-ventilated outdoor area with the recommended clearances.
Bringing along dry hardwood firewood will also help you get the clean, efficient burn that Wizard Fire Pits are designed for.
Store It Properly After Your Trip
Once you're home, give your fire pit a quick clean by emptying any remaining ash and allowing it to dry completely if it has been exposed to rain.
If it's being stored outdoors, place the Weatherproof Cover over the fire pit to help protect it from New Zealand's changing weather.
Ready for Every Adventure
Whether you're entertaining at home, heading to the campsite, or enjoying a weekend away, Wizard Fire Pits are designed to go wherever great memories are made.
With a little care during transport and storage, your Wizard Fire Pit will stay in excellent condition and be ready to fire up whenever the next adventure calls.
