STAHL GRILL CARE

Hand wash and dry immediately, even before your first use.

Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after you wash it and before each use.  How much oil?  Enough to make it shine, but not be sticky, in order to keep it seasoned and protected from moisture.

If any rust develops, you can simply use a coarse brush or scouring pad to remove the rust, then dry immediately and season again with vegetable oil or shortening.  Letting water sit on your Stahl Grill for prolonged periods of time is likely to cause rust spots, so soaking is not recommended.

When in use, remember that the handles will get hot so please use mitts or heat resistant leather gloves.  And set it in a safe place when removed from the fire to cool.

Once your grill has cooled, clean and dry immediately, and be sure to store in a dry place.

THE PATINA PROCESS

Patina is a natural weathering process which occurs when metal is exposed to air, water, and weather events. Through the patina process, your Stahl firepit will form a unique look and protect the metal. Be advised, the natural side effect of the patina process can sometimes stain wood or fair-colored surfaces. Be mindful of this as you choose the spot for your firepit to patina. Your Stahl firepit will naturally patina over time, but it’s possible to accelerate or delay the process.

ACCELERATE THE PATINA PROCESS

To immediately patina your Stahl firepit:

Disassemble your firepit. If your Stahl firepit has been used, apply a degreaser to remove all dirt, grime, and oil.Spray the metal with a white vinegar. This removes any patina and will return your firepit to its original raw steel color.Evenly spray the firepit pieces on both sides with a mix of vinegar, salt, and hydrogen peroxide. The metal will foam, then turn to a rich golden brown in a matter of hours.DELAY THE PATINA PROCESS
