  • Use a wire brush to scrub the interior once the pit is cool. Kickstart your cleaning right after each use to prevent the buildup of stubborn ashes.
  • Rinse your pit thoroughly after cleaning, then dry it completely. Trapped moisture can rust steel pits.
  • Allow ashes to cool fully before disposing of them. Remember, safety first!

For cast iron pits, a bit extra care is needed. Wipe and dry them thoroughly after each use. Then, apply a thin layer of cooking oil before storing.This creates a protective layer that prevents rust. Easy, right?
