Campfire Ring


There's nothing better than gathering around a campfire to share stories and sing songs. A camp fire ring enables campers to start a safe, controlled fire to enjoy these activities. Unfortunately some campers fail to follow some basic safety rules and put themselves and others at risk.

Camp Fire Ring Safety
It never hurts to refresh the dos and don'ts of working with a camp fire ring. Here are some helpful safety reminders.

  • Follow assembly instructions carefully for your camp fire ring. Make sure that anyone that plans to use the camp fire ring understands how to properly assemble it as well as how to light a fire in it.
  • If you have a camp fire ring that has a detachable grill make sure that it also is properly installed.
  • Use the wood that is recommended for your camp fire ring. Most recommend the use of seasoned hardwood as opposed to soft woods like pine or cedar that are more likely to throw sparks.
  • Do not use your camp fire ring to burn leaves or trash.
  • Always keep a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water close by your camp fire ring when in use.
  • Avoid using gasoline, kerosene, alcohol and any other flammable fluid to light the fire in your camp fire ring.
  • Don't leave a fire unattended and never let children use the camp fire ring unsupervised.
