In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before purchasing check local codes to ensure that you can use a portable fire pit. Every city is different and yours may have certain codes which only allow a certain type of fire pit. Get in contact with the planning offices in your area to see if any restrictions apply. Your deck or porch may not be the best place for a fire bowl. Drifting embers can ignite surrounding wood, cause heat damage, and ventilation issues. The best place to put a fire bowl or portable fire pit is on a flat, stable, non-combustible natural surface. Bricks, gravel, granite, paving stones and concrete are great options. Put the fire bowl a safe distance away from your home, deck, overhangs, trees, etc. Don't put your fire bowl near heat sensitive plants, dry grass, bales of hay, open firewood, and other materials that could ignite. Clear the area around the bowl of any sticks, twigs, leaves, or other flammable substances. Keep a bucket of water nearby. The easiest way to get a fire going in your portable fire pit or fire bowl is to sort your wood, kindling, and tinder. To help you build the best fire, sort your materials by size. Place all of your large logs together, followed by your smaller logs, kindling, and tinder. If you plan to cook any food over your fire, don't use any starter logs or gels. These items contain chemicals which get into the smoke and can get on your food. Make sure that you use dry wood. If there's any moisture in the wood, especially the larger logs, it will be harder to start your fire. You can easily find tinder in your own yard from dry grass and leaves that you rake up. Otherwise, newspaper works well. It's also a great idea to have water or a bucket of damp sand on hand for putting your fire out. Everyone likes to build a fire a certain way. With a fire bowl or portable fire pit, the teepee method or upside down fire method tend to work best depending on how deep the bowl is. To make a teepee, start by placing your tinder in the bottom of your bowl. Keep your tinder in a ball and lay your kindling around it. Stack the larger sticks around your tinder in the shape of a teepee. You can then place your larger logs around your kindling. Keep a little open area so you can easily reach in and light your tinder. For an upside down fire, place the largest logs in the bottom of your pit, and spread the logs out to cover the base. Stack your smaller logs in a criss-cross pattern over your largest logs to allow for airflow. Place a small pile of tinder on top and then stack your kindling around the tinder in a teepee fashion. Never use pressure treated wood. Avoid using sappy wood like pine and cedar as these woods tend to pop more and create more floating embers. Be sure not to overload the fire pit with wood, don't stack it much higher than the rim of your fire bowl. When lighting your fire, the safest way is to use a long match or lighter. Light your tinder and watch the fire grow. You may want to light your tinder in a couple places to help the fire get going. Shove some newspaper between your logs to create more heat and build up the flames. Softwoods such as pines and firs are easier to light and are good for getting your fire started. As your fire begins to burn it will create coals and embers. When the flames begin to die down, add larger logs to keep your fire burning. If your fire bowl has a grate cover, place this over your fire once it's going. This will help prevent embers from flying out. After the initial ten or twenty minutes, most of your kindling will have burned up along with your tinder. These bits of material will start to form natural coals and embers which still provide plenty of heat. Use a poker or large stick to move your coals and embers together. Add some oxygen by blowing on the coals to add more heat. You can now start to place larger logs on top of these coals to keep your fire going. Hardwoods like oak, ash, cherry, maple, and poplar are great for adding to a hot fire. Once you're done enjoying your fire pit, properly put out the fire. If possible, allow the fire to burn down completely to ash. Pour water over the fire and make sure you drown all of the embers. Keep pouring until you don't hear any more hissing. Stir the ashes and embers. A shovel works well here. Once everything in the pit is wet and cold, you can use the shovel to scrape the materials out of the pit. In most areas you can dispose of your ash in your regular garbage. Check with your local municipality for any specific laws or codes in your area.
Summary: Check with your local municipality to make sure you can legally use a portable fire pit or fire bowl in your home. Place your fire bowl in a safe place. Gather your materials for a fire. Place your materials in your fire pit. Light the fire. Maintain your fire. Put out your fire.

Problem: Article: Use a coaxial cable to make this connection, ensure that there is a little slack in the cable so that there is no tension on the connectors. You can use the HDMI cable that came with the box, or any other HDMI cable. Make note of the HDMI port that you use on your TV so that you can easily switch to it later. Many Comcast cable boxes have multiple HDMI ports. Make sure you're using the HDMI Out port on the box and not the HDMI Input ports. If you don't have an HDMI port on your TV, you can use a coax cable to connect the "To TV/RF Out" port to your TV's coax port. This will not result in high definition image. Plug it in to the Power connector on the back of the box. If you connected the box to an HDMI port on your TV, switch to the HDMI input that matches that port. If you connected the box using coax cable, switch to channel 3 or 4. If you have multiple TVs and have active coax outlets, you can use digital adapters to connect your cable to additional TVs. Each adapter will need its own coax wall outlet. Connecting a digital adapter is pretty much the same as a regular cable box. Use a coax cable to attach it to the wall outlet, and HDMI or coax cable to connect the adapter to the TV, and then connect the power adapter. Make sure all of your digital adapters are connected and powered on before starting the activation process.
Summary:
Connect the "Cable In/RF In" connection to the cable wall outlet. Connect the "HDMI to TV" port on the cable box to the HDMI port on your TV. Connect the power adapter to the wall outlet. Switch your TV to the correct input. Connect any additional digital adapters.
