The Burner Tray of the Fire Pit and Fire Table is equipped with drain holes to allow moisture to drain should it happen to be exposed to water.

The use of the Tropitone® Cast Burner Tray Cover is highly recommended.

If the Burner Tray is not covered during inclement weather, the Burner system may be damaged by extended and repeated exposure to water.

For the Fire Pits, the Burner System produces a wide range of heat output peaking at 90,000 BTUs.

For the Fire Tables, the Burner System produces a wide range of heat output peaking at 40,000 BTUs.

The Grill Pan is designed and patented for use only on Tropitone® brand Fire Pits and Fire Tables.

The anodized Grill Pan does not need to be seasoned. Anodized aluminum is an "easy release" surface. You may experience some sticking of foods during the initial use of the grill. This will improve after the first few uses of the grill pan. In order to minimize any food sticking to the Grill Pan, allow the Pan to heat up for approximately 10-12 minutes prior to use. Also, allow the ingredients to finish grilling on one side prior to turning.

If you choose to season the Grill Pan, it will not harm the Grill Pan. We recommend using a cooking oil that will withstand high temperatures. Apply a light coat of oil to the Grill Pan prior to heating the pan.

Please refer to the Lighting Instruction sticker located on the Fire Pit and Fire Table Base.  The Fire Pit and Fire Table may also be lit without using the igniter by using a flame source such as a long reach torch to light the pilot light and then follow the Fire Pit and Fire Table lighting instructions on the label located on the Fire Pit and Fire Table Base.

During use the handles on the Grill Pan will become hot. Allow the Grill Pan to cool before using the handles or touching the pan.

If using hot pads, only do so after the Fire Pit and Fire Table has been turned off and the flame has been extinguished.

If you remove the Grill Pan when hot or warm, be sure to place the items on a heat resistant surface.

Turn down the flame on the Fire Pit and Fire Table to ensure the flame is not above the chimney (hole) in the middle of the Grill Pan. If you observe the flame coming out of the chimney (hole) of the Grill Pan, it is too high. This may cause residual soot to accumulate.

Some minimal soot may develop on the bottom or edges of the Grill Pan. This is normal under appropriate use. Simply clean away to soot after each use.

Tropitone outdoor cushions are water-resistant. Our outdoor cushions are constructed of fabrics containing UV and Mildew Inhibitors. Additionally, each cushion is constructed of a mildew-resistant core of self-draining fills, many of which are then wrapped in a water resistant covering. Not much water will enter into the cushion, but what does, will quickly evaporate – not mildew. We do not recommend submersing your outdoor cushions or allowing them to lie in standing water. Also, do not put your Tropitone Outdoor Cushions into the dryer. Standing a cushion on its side will help it drain faster if it's been submersed.

No. It is not designed to burn wood. Burning wood in this product will cause damage, is extremely dangerous and will void the warranty.

The Grill Pan can be cleaned as any other anodized aluminum cookware may be cleaned.

The Grill Pan must be allowed to cool prior to cleaning. Do not immerse the Grill Pan in cold water until the pan has cooled. A non-scratch scrub sponge, along with liquid dishwashing soap and water, may be used to clean the pan.

The fabrics we offer are driven by current "design" demand. Because design trends change over time, and to ensure we are able to offer the most current fabric styles, colors and constructions, we must rotate our fabric offering from year to year. At the same time, our fabric suppliers are doing the same thing. Because our patio cushions and slings are constructed to endure, if it's time to replace them, it's also probably time to update your look. Choose from our over 300 current fabric offerings by going to the Fabrics Collections section.

A conversion kit is available.  The conversion kit must be supplied by Tropitone® in order to maintain the Fire Pit and Fire Table’s ICC listing.  Please contact your local authorized Tropitone® Commercial Sales Representative.

The most likely suspects are sun-tan lotion which, among other ingredients, contain a red or yellow color additive. Left untreated, the sun evaporates the liquid from these lotions, and “burns” the color into the strap. The same effect may come from common rain water, which contains a small amount of dirt. Because these stains cannot be removed, it is highly suggested that you follow our recommended cleaning and maintenance schedules.
