We recommend cleaning the fire bowl after each use to help ensure the longevity of the pit and prevent any fire hazards.
Allow the fire pit bowl to cool completely: Wait until the ashes and embers are cold and no longer burning. This may take several hours or even overnight.
Remove any debris: Using a brush or broom, sweep out any ashes, twigs, or other debris that may be left in the bowl. Dispose of the debris in a container designed for ash disposal, such as a metal trash can or bucket.
Scrape off any remaining debris: Use a metal scraper or wire brush to remove any remaining debris from the surface of the bowl.
Wash the bowl with water: Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Use a sponge or cloth to scrub the bowl, making sure to reach all areas. Rinse the bowl thoroughly with clean water.
Dry the bowl: Use a towel to dry the bowl completely. Make sure that there is no water remaining in the bowl before storing it, as any moisture can cause rust or other damage to the metal.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your Cowboy Fire Pit clean and well-maintained, ensuring that it lasts for many years to come.
*If rust or extensive wear persists, a protective coating can be applied to the fire pit bowl.
Cleaning your Grill Grate
Brush your grill grate after every use and thoroughly clean the grill grate every few months depending on usage.
For thorough cleansing, remove the grill grate and place it into warm soapy water. Let it soak for at least 15 minutes.
After your grill grate has soaked, remove it from the soapy water and scrub thoroughly with a long-handled grill brush.
For stubborn grease, form a paste using one cup water and three cups baking soda and scrub thoroughly with a long-handled grill brush. When finished scrubbing, rinse the grill grate clean. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
When dry, rub the grill grate with a light coating of cooking oil, like olive or avocado.
