    Taking care of your Pingewood

    By Max on 27/05/2021

    Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

    Whilst our Pingewoods do not require a lot of care and attention, it can be good practice to maintain the overall condition and functionality of your fire.

    By looking after your outdoor fire, you’ll ensure it’s the life and soul of the party for years to come.

    Fuel Bed

    The fire should have a constant 1 inch of ash on the floor of the fuel bed at all times apart from storing.

    Ash helps protect the fuel bed and insulate the fire, allowing it to burn at its hottest.

    Removal of ash is essential when it builds up beyond the one inch mark, and at the end of the fire-burning season.

    Exterior

    The Barbow has two finishes and will require different levels of care:

    Corten steel – Requires little to no maintenance, naturally oxidising overtime to protect itself from its environment. It will also heal itself from any blemishes or marks with a new layer of patina. No treatment or cleaning to the exterior finish is required.

    Satin Graphite – A powder coated finish which is highly durable, rust and heat resistant.

    Our specialised Italian paint provides lots of depth and is rich in colour.

    Regular checks at least once a month and more regularly during bad weather, you should wipe all surfaces to keep dry and eradicate minor blemishes before they deteriorate further. Use our maintenance kit to eradicate any minor scuffs or blemishes.

    Clean between uses – including removing ash to clear airways, wiping key areas with a dry microfibre cloth.

    Storage

    It is not essential for your Pingewood to be stored.

    Good storage places are anywhere that is dry which provide good ventilation around the fire.

    It is recommended to store a Pingewood in a shed or garage.

    • The fire must be cold and should not have been lit in the last 48 hours.
    • The fuel bed must be empty of any ash (vacuums are very handy)
    • All surfaces must be dry.
    • All surfaces must be clean.

    CAUTION: Failure to leave the fire to be fully extinguished when storing will result in carbon monoxide build up in your space, which can kill humans!

    When loading and lighting

    Your fire should be loaded up with a small amount of fuel and gradually added to so that your fire can get up to temperature slowly.

    Do not over-fire your Pingewood otherwise you are in danger of damaging the overall shape and structure of the appliance.

    Your fire will expand and contract when adapting to the temperature. The fire should fall back into place unless it has been shocked by harsh temperature changes.

    You should let the fire cool down slowly after use.

    How often should I clean my Pingewood?

    Your Pingewood will require little cleaning. In the even’t whereby it might get dirty this can be cleaned with a microfibre cloth and a damp cloth. You will be required to empty the fuel bed of ash after every other use depending on how much fuel you use and how often you use it.
