Fuel & Performance

Therma Forge smudge pots are built around practical, widely available liquid fuels:

• Primary fuels: Diesel and kerosene

• Optional fuel: Clean, filtered waste cooking oil (where safe and permitted)

Liquid fuel offers:

• Consistent, high-energy heat output

• Reliable performance in cold and windy conditions

• Long burn times when properly filled and operated

Always follow fueling, lighting, and safety instructions included with your unit.

How It Works

1. Load the Fuel
Fill the reservoir with the recommended fuel type for your model, following all safety guidelines and operating instructions.

2. Ignite Safely
Use the designated opening or ignition method to light the unit. Allow a short warm-up period for the flame and body to reach stable operating temperature.

3. Radiant Heat in Minutes
Once up to temperature, the smudge pot throws strong, even radiant heat into the surrounding area, creating a comfortable heating zone outdoors.

4. Cool Down Before Moving
After use, extinguish the flame and allow the unit to cool completely before moving, refueling, or storing
