CANISTER TOP 

COOKING GRATE 

The canister top is designed to be used as a stand. 

Raising the campfire off the ground allows it to 

radiate heat to the upper body when sitting around it. 

To use the cooking grate with the log set, place the 

grate legs in the indentations in the log set. 

To use the cooking grate with fire glass, slide 

cooking grate between outside of burner and 

inside of burner base. 

Remove the cooking grate unless cooking on it. Failure to do this, will cause grate to warp due to 

extreme temperatures.

1. Attach POL/QCC (A) to tank valve. Make sure you 

have a good seal. 

2. Close shut off valve (B) by turning clockwise. 

3. Open tank valve (C); check for leaks. 

Before turning gas on, apply a solution of soapy water 

to all hose connections. If bubbles appear when gas is 

turned on, shut off gas supply and tighten connections 

where bubbles appear. Repeat as necessary. 

Wait 5 min. before relighting, if campfire does not light. 

Place lighter flame on burner and slowly open the campfire shut off valve (B), it will take a few seconds for 

the line to purge the air. Once the purging is complete the burner will light, then adjust the shut off valve (B) 

for desired fire height. 

Campfire Must Be Lit Manually 

TURNING THE CAMPFIRE OFF 

1. Shut the gas off at the tank (C) then let the fire go out. 

2. Turn the shut off valve (B) to the off position.

TROUBLESHOOTING LOW FLAME HEIGHT 

I lit my Campfire In A Can and the fire does not seem to go high anymore. What could cause 

1. this to happen 

1. 

The campfire shut off valve (B) was 

not shut off when the propane tank 

valve was opened. This will cause 

the POL/QCC (A) fitting to automatically restrict 

propane flow to the campfire. This is a safety 

feature. 

2. 

The second reason could be that the 

ball inside the POL/QCC valve has 

become stuck, and is not allowing 

an unrestricted flow of gas to your campfire. 

SOLUTION 1. 

Turn gas off at propane tank. Remove POL/QCC (A) 

connection from tank, shut off campfire shut off valve 

(B), then follow proper propane lighting procedure. 

Attach POL/QCC to tank valve, make sure you have 

a good seal. Close shut off valve by turning clockwise. 

Open tank valve. If problem persists, please try A.2. 

SOLUTION 2. 

Give the POL/QCC a hard tap on a hard surface to 

loosen the ball. Then reconnect to see if this has solved 

the problem. If problem persists, please try A.3.

3. 

You may have bugs! Great big, 

humongous, small bugs like ants, 

spiders, etc. Sometimes they will 

find their way into the campfire during storage and 

end up making a nest in the inner parts of the gas 

fittings. 

SOLUTION 3. 

Undo the fittings and remove them. Visually check 

for cobwebs, insects or debris and remove if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING LOW FLAME HEIGHT 

2. 

I have been running my campfire for a while, and all of a sudden I have a low flame, and I`m 

not out of propane. What could cause this 

Your regulator may be freezing up! There are 2 possible reasons that a propane regulator may 

freeze up. 

1. 

When your propane tank was filled, 

it may have been overfilled. Liquid 

propane may be going directly 

into your regulator causing it to freeze up. All 

propane tanks can be overfilled, even those with an 

automatic shut off feature. 

2. 

The propane tank you are using may 

be too small. The air space inside 

the tank may not be large enough 

to allow the liquid propane to quickly change from 

a liquid to a gas. If this happens, the liquid propane 

will go into the regulator, causing it to freeze. 

SOLUTION 1. 

To have the excess propane removed, take your tank to 

a commercial propane supplier. 

SOLUTION 2. 

This can be overcome sometimes by reducing the size 

of your fire, or by using a 20 lb. tank or larger.

Maintenance 

R 

FIRE GLASS 

CLEANING THE FIRE GLASS Allow fire glass to cool before handling. Collect the fire glass and place 

gently into a container of soapy water. Gently rub fire glass to remove any carbon build up. Remove fire glass 

from soapy water, rinse in clean water to remove any excess soap residue. Lay the fire glass in a single layer on 

a soft cloth to dry. When dry, return fire glass to your Campfire In A Can. 

We suggest you wear gloves when cleaning fire glass 

LOG SET 

CLEANING THE LOG SET Carbon (soot) should be cleaned off the surface of the logs periodically to 

prevent excessive build up. To clean the logs, be sure the fire is out, the gas supply is turned off and the logs 

are cool to the touch. Carbon build up can be removed by using The Cleaning Kit or by using a dry, medium 

soft bristle brush. Take care while cleaning the logs as they can become damaged if mishandled. Care should 

be taken to dispose of the carbon and cleaning materials properly. Keep away from clothing and outdoor 

furniture. 

Wear gloves when cleaning log set 

Campfire logs should never be washed with water 

AIR INTAKE SLEEVE 

The air intake sleeve should be fully open and the set screw tightened to 

stop movement.

Attaching the Campfire 

to a Quick Disconnect 

R 

Determine if the quick disconnect you are hooking up to on your RV is high pressure or low pressure. If there 

are no propane lines before the propane regulator, then the quick disconnect on your RV is low pressure. If 

there are propane lines before the regulator, your quick disconnect could be high or low pressure. Contact the 

manufacturer of your RV to find out which one it is. 

Helpful Hints 

1. When purchasing your quick disconnect parts, make sure that they are compatible with the quick 

disconnect parts on your RV. 

2. Buy a complete quick disconnect assembly, so you can hook the female part to the regulator you are 

going to remove from the Campfire In A Can. 

3. Determine if the quick disconnect you are hooking up to on your RV is high pressure or low pressure. 

4. Always use gas line silicone tape on all fittings or a gas line approved paste. 

5. Always check for gas leaks by covering joints with a mild solution of soap and water then pressurizing the 

propane line. Check for bubbles. If you see bubbles, tighten the fittings and repeat until no more 

bubbles are seen.
