Carbon monoxide: never indoors
Pellets, charcoal and firewood can produce carbon monoxide when burned. It cannot be seen or smelled and can kill. Never use a room, closed garage, tent or enclosed or partly enclosed balcony for a fire. Open windows, doors or fans do not make indoor burning safe.
Keep the fire outdoors and away from openings into the home. Never bring a hot or smouldering angeethi inside for warmth or storage. If anyone feels unwell near burning fuel or carbon monoxide exposure is suspected, leave for fresh air immediately and seek emergency medical help.
Match the fuel and keep people back
An angeethi or fire pit is not automatically compatible with pellets. Check the equipment maker’s permitted fuels, load and clearances; do not improvise a pellet tray or burn loose fuel on the ground. Check any current local restrictions before planning a bonfire.
Keep children and pets outside a clearly separated fire area, away from sparks, hot surfaces and stored fuel. Assign an adult to supervise lighting through cooling. Keep blankets, loose clothing and packaging clear of the fire; never use petrol or add starter to hot or burning fuel.
Put it out fully and supervise cooling
Follow the equipment’s shutdown and extinguishing instructions. Do not assume one method suits every grill or fire pit, and do not pour water into equipment unless its instructions permit it. Never leave a fire smouldering overnight or unattended when guests leave.
Allow all fuel and ash to cool completely outdoors before handling or disposal. Do not bag hot ash, mix it with rubbish or take cooling equipment into a building. Keep children away from the area until it is fully cold, even after the flames have stopped.
Frequently asked questions
- Is an angeethi safe in a room with an open window?
- No. Never burn pellets, charcoal or any fire inside rooms, closed garages or tents. An open window does not prevent the carbon monoxide danger.
- Can I use pellets in any angeethi?
- No. Use pellets only if the equipment instructions explicitly permit them and follow the specified loading method and limits.
- Are ashes safe once flames disappear?
- No. Follow the shutdown procedure and supervise complete cooling outdoors before handling ash or storing equipment.
