FAQs

What materials are the companion set tools made from?

The companion set tools (stand, poker, brush, tongs, shovel) are manufactured from durable cast iron with a black powder coating.

Are the heat-resistant gloves suitable for handling open flames?

No, the gloves are heat-resistant, not flame-resistant. They provide protection from radiant heat and brief contact with hot surfaces, but should not be used to handle open flames directly.

What is the total height of the companion set?

The total height of the companion set, including the stand, is approximately 430mm.

Can I use these gloves for other tasks besides tending a fire?

Yes, the gloves are designed as heavy-duty welding gloves and are also suitable for tasks like grinding and gardening.

How do I clean the suede gloves?

Spot clean the suede gloves with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What safety standard do the gloves conform to?

The gloves conform to EN12477:2001 Type A standards.

Will the stand tip over easily?

The stand is designed to be sturdy and prevent tipping, with all tools attached securely.

Troubleshooting

Companion set wobbles

Ensure the set is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check if any of the feet on the stand are uneven and adjust if possible.

Tools feel stiff

This is normal for cast iron. Use the tools regularly to help loosen them. For very stiff joints, a small amount of heat-resistant lubricant can be applied sparingly to pivot points if present.

Gloves feel too tight/loose

The gloves are designed to fit most users but allow for some movement. For a tighter fit, consider wearing thinner liner gloves underneath. For a looser fit, ensure no internal seams are bunched.

Rust spots appearing on companion set

Light rust can be removed with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive. Apply a thin coat of black, heat-resistant paint or powder coating to touch up affected areas and prevent further rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The companion set requires no assembly. Simply place the stand on a stable surface near your fireplace. The heat-resistant gloves are ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: The companion set is suitable for all types of log fires in a household setting. The gloves are designed for handling hot items related to fires, and are also suitable for welding, grinding, and gardening work due to their heavy-duty nature.

Care: Clean the cast iron companion set with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating. For the gloves, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely. Do not immerse in water. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended for both the tools and gloves.
