How do I clean a steel fire pit?

Wait until the fire pit is completely cold, then scoop the dry ash into a metal bucket. Clean the grill grate with a wire brush after each cook. Bare steel needs no paint or oil, because the patina is its natural finish, and the heat-resistant black coating just needs a soft brush without abrasives. We include care instructions for your chosen finish with the order. Use the step-by-step cleaning guide.
