Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The fire poker set requires no assembly. Simply place the stand on a stable, heat-resistant surface near your fireplace or fire pit, and rest the poker in the stand. Ensure the stand is positioned to allow easy access to the poker.
Compatibility: This 50cm poker is designed for use with most standard indoor fireplaces, wood burners, coal fires, and outdoor fire pits. Its length is suitable for openings of average size. It is compatible with various fuel types including wood and coal.
Care: To maintain the longevity of your cast iron fire poker:
- Cleaning: After each use and once cooled, wipe away any loose ash or debris with a dry cloth. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the poker is dried thoroughly immediately afterward.
- Rust Prevention: Cast iron can rust if exposed to moisture. Periodically, you may want to apply a light coating of cooking oil (like vegetable or mineral oil) to the poker and stand with a soft cloth. This creates a protective barrier.
- Storage: Store the poker and stand in a dry environment. If using outdoors frequently, consider bringing it indoors during prolonged periods of rain or damp weather.
- Avoid Soaps: Do not use harsh detergents or soaps, as they can strip away any seasoning or protective oil layer.
