HOW TO USE YOUR VOLCANO

Step 1:
Use the bottom ring to put the pan on, making sure that the pan is centered on the ring. This is to provide extra distance to the ground. We recommend placing the pan on a flat, stable, and non-flammable surface.
Step 2:
Put small pieces of wood in the center of the pan, light them, and add logs gradually. Avoid using anything other than firewood, and briquettes or igniter bags as ignition. Spark fluid can damage the metal and lead to rust formation.
IMPORTANT: Do not put so much wood on that you cover the holes at the top of the pan, this will impair the combustion of the smoke and minimize the effect. Do not burn anything other than wood on the pan. Birch wood gives the best result and less smoke/sparks than ex. pine.
Step 3:
Place the top ring with the lip pointing upwards. The top ring has an important function, protecting against the wind and enhancing the effect of the flames.
Step 4:
When the fire is lit, add extra wood to keep it going. After 10–15 minutes, the air between the walls will be so hot that the smoke ignites and is minimized. Maintain this effect by topping up with wood while in use.
Step 5:
When finished with the fire, simply let it burn out. This will minimize any ash left.
Step 6:
When the pan has completely cooled, turn it over and empty the ash out. Always check that the pan is cold before packing it. Place the bottom ring inside the pan and turn over the top ring for compact storage. The ash should be poured into a fireproof container or extinguished with water.

TIPS

Use dry wood, preferably birch.
It takes 10–15 minutes of good burning to reach full effect. The air is heated to create secondary combustion at the top.
Spread the fire evenly over the bottom for maximum effect.
Do not cover the holes on the inside of the pan with firewood, the effect will be impaired.
Do not cover the holes in the bottom of the pan. They are needed to provide a flow of air.
Place the pan well away from flammable materials. Remember that the flames will be high. Do not place the pan underneath any overhangs or flammable materials.
We recommend placing the pan on a non-flammable surface.
The pan gets very hot. Keep children and pets away.
The metal will take on a patina after use, which does not affect the pan’s performance.
Exposing the pan to the weather and failing to maintain it can lead to rust and discoloring. This is not covered by the warranty.
REMEMBER: Do not allow water to collect in the fire barrel. This in combination with the ash will form a thick mixture that can clog the air holes and prevent air flow. This can reduce the effect and make the fire pit difficult to clean.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and correct storage will extend the lifetime and enhance the appearance.
Empty ash out of the pan after every use. Wipe any residue if required. use a dry cloth.
The pan must be kept free of water and snow, which can cause rust and discoloring. Use a grill cover or keep it in a dry place when not in use.
All parts of the pan are made of 304 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust but is not rustproof.
Stainless steel will take on a patina due to the heat in time, which is normal and will not affect use.
Surface rust can occur, especially in coastal areas. This is sanded away with suitable products such as steel wool or similar.
