Material instructions
The term Corten steel is on everyone's lips. However, few people know that it can be harmful to the health of humans, animals and plants, as Corten steel contains heavy metals. For this reason, we use normal steel made from natural iron for our products, which also contains valuable minerals for plants. The so-called stainless steel layer is always individual and unique.
The surface discolors at first. After some time, the rust eats into the surface and the discoloration is reduced. It should be noted that rust stains can occur on stone slabs and the like. To prevent this, we recommend always using a carpet pad and protecting the surface.
This is just the rolling skin peeling off, which is quite normal with natural rust. You can peel off the affected area and then spray on a mixture of water and vinegar (3/4, 1/4). The rusting process will continue immediately.
Stainless steel variant 1, cold plates:
- Scrape away the food residue with a spatula
- Spray the grill plates with a cleaning agent
- Clean the surface thoroughly using a steel sponge or similar
Stainless steel variant 2, hot plates:
Use the residual heat to clean the plates.
- Scrape the plates with a spatula to remove all coarse grill residue.
- Pour water onto the still warm/hot plates. Beware of steam development. The remaining residues are removed by the temperature shock. Leave this to work for a few moments.
We recommend repeating the process if the plates are very dirty. - Scrape off all coarse residues again with the spatula.
- Rub the plate with a stainless steel spiral and cleaning agent.
- Rinse the grill plate with water and a soft sponge.
Fire bowls
The basic version consists of the bowl with removable intermediate base and the middle ring for the fire bowl accessories and two side grill plates.
Yes, that is not a problem. Delivery is also free of charge.
We recommend these two grill plates for meat and fish products. On the full-surface plate, they float on the oil during frying, which leads to a change in taste. The fat drips off through the openings and burns in the firebox.
Yes, the panels are not continuously welded to the shell. This means that there are gaps and openings everywhere on the surface. The fire therefore has sufficient oxygen.
Between 40 and 50 minutes.
The grill plates can be easily removed from our fire bowls. The bowl alone then weighs approx. 80 kg and can easily be carried by two people (weight specification applies to all hemisphere or cone models).

No, it's best to contact a gardener in your area.
No, we don't do that. It's best to contact a firewood seller in your area. That way you'll be supporting regional suppliers at the same time.
