While portable systems are more compact, they often provide superior heat concentration and faster cooking times. The direct flame contact available with many portable systems delivers excellent searing and flavour development.
Regular cleaning after use and proper storage are essential. Remove ash and food debris, check for any transport damage, and ensure all components are dry before storage. Our systems are built for durability, but regular maintenance makes sure that they perform reliably.
Always check local regulations and fire restrictions before cooking. Many parks, beaches, and camping areas have specific rules about open flames and cooking equipment. Respect all rules and regulations, and you'll be all good to fire up!
The premium fire pit is more expensive because it's made from high-quality stainless steel, which means it will never rust or corrode—regardless of the weather. In contrast, the standard version is made from carbon steel, which is durable but will eventually rust over time, especially if stored damp. The premium option offers lasting performance with little maintenance
You can use whatever fuel you're most comfortable with—whether that’s good quality charcoal or hardwood logs. While we believe nothing beats the flavour and experience of cooking over decent hardwood, we understand charcoal is often easier to source and just as convenient for many people.
