How to Clean and Maintain Your Smokeless Firepit: A Complete Guide
Cleaning and maintaining your Smokeless firepit not only enhances the efficiency of the combustion process but also keeps your firepit looking as good as new. Follow these simple steps to clean and maintain your Smokeless firepit so you can continue enjoying a clean, smoke-free experience.
Step 1: Remove Ash with a Brush and Pan
After each use, remove any leftover ash from your firepit to maintain airflow and prevent buildup. Use a brush and pan to gently sweep away the ash from the base of the firepit. Remove what you can, especially from the air intake vents, to ensure your firepit’s ventilation system stays clear and effective for the next burn.
Step 2: Hose or Wipe Down the Exterior
Next, use a hose to rinse off the exterior of the firepit or wipe it down with a damp cloth. This will help remove dirt, debris, and soot that can accumulate on the surface after several uses. For stubborn grime, a gentle scrubbing with water and a non-abrasive cloth will work wonders without damaging the finish.
Step 3: Allow to Dry Completely
After cleaning, let your Smokeless firepit dry completely before using it again. This ensures that no water or moisture remains trapped in any part of the unit, which could affect the combustion process.
Step 4: Maintain the Stainless Steel with Cleaner
Cleaning your Smokeless firepit with a stainless steel cleaner is recommended to keep the surface free of stubborn blemishes, stains, or fingerprints. This cleaner is specially formulated to preserve the high-quality finish of 304 stainless steel.
Step 5: Buff to Restore Shine
Once cleaned, buff the surface of your firepit with a dry cloth to restore its natural shine. This will help remove any leftover streaks and bring back the firepit’s original sparkle. Regular buffing keeps the surface smooth and prevents buildup of grime, ensuring your firepit continues to look pristine.
A microfiber cloth is ideal for wiping down stainless steel surfaces, as it’s gentle on the material and ensures a streak-free finish. This step also helps maintain the glossy, polished appearance of your Smokeless firepit.
