rust, so it might be necessary, at this point, to re-season the pit. Do not get
the degreaser on the outside of the pit, it will remove paint.
Firebox-
Paint will most likely burn off of your firebox. Hopefully if this happens, it
will be after numerous times of using your pit, but paint is never
guaranteed. If this happens, take a wire brush and remove as much of the
rust as possible to clean the area that you are about to repaint. Most
hardware stores will carry a high temp black paint that is made for outdoor
grills. This is suitable for repainting the area that has burned off. Take a rag
and wipe down the area that you have brushed and repainted. CAUTION!!!!!
FIREBOX IS HOT! Do not allow anyone or anything near the box while in
use. Serious burns could occur.
Wood Bar top-
To prolong the life of your wooden bar top, keep the surface clean and dry. If
creosote or grease drip onto the board, clean immediately to prevent
staining.
Wood Handles-
All of the wooden handles have been coated with durable polyurethane. If
the elements wear the coating off, sand the handle, wipe down and recoat.
Temperature Gauges-
Never apply pressure to the temperature gauge. The temperature gauges
should never be tampered with. Installation and adjustment require use of a
wrench on the back and caution. Over tightening the gauges can result in
damage that will cause the readings to be off. Be careful not to twist or spray
water directly on the face of the gauge as this will ruin it. There is a 5 degree
margin of error with all gauges.
Propane Plumbing-
Always turn propane off when not in use and especially before travel.
You can clear the lines by lighting a burner and turning gas off at
bottle, then let the fire burn all the way out.
Make sure all valves are closed before turning propane back on. An
open valve will result in a lockdown of the gas at the bottle due to the
fast drop in pressure.
