Is it done properly? How to maintain a bonfire stand to make it last longer

A fire pit is camping gear that can last a long time with proper care.

In order to make the bonfire stand you purchase a long-lasting companion, it pays to master the proper care methods.

Basically, all fire pits are maintained in the same way.

This time we will introduce everything from extinguishing a bonfire to how to take care of it.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t take care of the bonfire very well…”

If so, please be sure to read the article.

Fire extinguisher. Take your time and enjoy the bonfire

Once the bonfire is over, it's time to clean up and move out.

A successful camper is one who enjoys a bonfire by counting back the evacuation time.

If the firewood is completely burnt and the ash remains, you can take it to the ash bin at the campsite and dispose of it. (Throwing away charcoal is not allowed in some cases.)

If the charcoal has black parts left behind, place it in a fire extinguisher to completely extinguish it. You can reuse it as charcoal on your next camping trip.

When discarding charcoal, please check the rules in your area, as disposal methods vary depending on the municipality.

If the firewood does not burn out completely, you can also put out the fire by filling a bucket with water. It will take some time for it to cool down, so be sure to soak it in water for a sufficient amount of time.

Avoid pouring water directly onto the fire pit while it is still hot, as this may damage the fire pit.

I will introduce them in order.

①Remove the ash from the fire bed

Remove any ash left on the bonfire stand. You can use a small broom to remove fine ash.

Particularly, ash may accumulate in the parts where they are joined, so be careful.

② If it is very dirty, wash it with water using a sponge.

If it is very dirty, wash it lightly with water.

Be especially careful to remove any oil stains that may have gotten on the bonfire stand during cooking.

If oil remains, it will accelerate the deterioration of the fire pit.

Choose a soft sponge. The key is to gently remove dirt so as not to damage the bonfire stand.

③ Wipe off moisture with a dry towel and dry in a well-ventilated place

Finally, wipe off the moisture with a dry towel and dry in a well-ventilated place.

It is recommended to put away large items such as tents while drying.
