It is not recommended to place the fire bowl directly on a wooden deck as the extreme heat can char or ignite the wood. Always use a fire-resistant mat or stone base.
The bowl is made of thick cast iron designed to withstand years of use. While it will develop a surface patina, it is unlikely to rust through with regular maintenance and proper storage.
The FF209 is a simple, heavy-duty unit that generally comes ready to use out of the box.
Always try to keep the bowl dry by using a cover or storing it under shelter, as standing water will accelerate the rusting process.
While the product may arrive with a dark finish, it is intended to transition to a rustic, natural patina over time due to the nature of cast iron.
Some rust is expected; however, you can scrub the interior with a wire brush to remove loose flakes and apply a light coat of high-temperature oil.
Ensure that the surface beneath the bowl is perfectly level. Check the base for any debris or uneven terrain that may be causing a wobble.
Setup is straightforward as the unit typically comes in a ready-to-use configuration. Simply place the bowl on a level, fire-resistant surface. Avoid placing it directly on wooden decks or plastic surfaces to prevent heat damage or fire hazards. To maintain the structural integrity of the cast iron, clean out cold ashes after every use. While the bowl is designed to rust, you can lightly coat the interior with a thin layer of vegetable oil after it has cooled down to slow excessive corrosion if desired. During winter months or long periods of wet weather, it is advisable to store the bowl under a cover or in a shed to prevent water from pooling inside the bowl.
