The Breeo OutRig™ Tray is an accessory specifically designed to enhance the experience of using the Breeo X Series® Chair, providing a convenient and stable surface for enjoying over-the-fire cooking. This user guide outlines the product's function, materials, usage, and important safety warnings, ensuring users can maximize its utility while maintaining its integrity.
Function Description:
The primary function of the OutRig™ Tray is to offer a flat and sturdy surface adjacent to the Breeo X Series® Chair. This allows users to place food, drinks, or cooking utensils within easy reach while engaging in outdoor cooking activities around a fire. It transforms the chair into a more versatile station, eliminating the need for separate tables or precarious balancing acts for items during a cookout. The design is intended to integrate seamlessly with the Breeo X Series® Chair, providing a dedicated space for personal items or cooked food, thereby enhancing the overall comfort and convenience of the outdoor cooking experience.
Important Technical Specifications:
The OutRig™ Tray is constructed from two primary materials:
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): This material forms the main tray surface. HDPE is known for its durability, resistance to moisture, and ease of cleaning. However, it is crucial to note a specific characteristic mentioned in the warnings: when HDPE gets hot, it will flex a bit. This is an important consideration for placement and storage, as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat can cause temporary deformation.
- Stainless Steel Attachment: The tray incorporates a stainless steel attachment mechanism. Stainless steel is chosen for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand outdoor elements, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection to the chair's holder.
While specific dimensions and weight capacity are not provided in the manual, the design implies it is sized to be practical for personal use alongside a chair, accommodating typical plates, cups, and light cooking tools. The "sturdy surface" claim suggests it is robust enough for its intended purpose, but the warning against placing heavy pots or pans on the edge indicates there are practical limits to its load-bearing capacity, particularly at the periphery.
Usage Features:
The OutRig™ Tray is designed for straightforward and intuitive use:
- Easy Attachment: To use the tray, it is simply "popped onto the Stainless Steel holder" of the Breeo X Series® Chair. This suggests a quick and secure attachment mechanism that allows the tray to be positioned horizontally for immediate use. The ease of attachment means users can set up their cooking station quickly without complicated assembly.
- Horizontal Positioning: The tray is designed to be used in a horizontal position, providing a stable, level surface for items. This orientation is critical for its function as a serving or holding tray.
- Storage Flexibility: When not in use, the tray offers flexible storage options. It can be stowed in a vertical position alongside the chair, which is ideal for keeping it with the chair and minimizing its footprint. Alternatively, it can be stored in a shed or other storage area, protecting it from the elements and freeing up space around the chair. This dual storage capability adds to its practicality and user convenience.
Maintenance Features:
Maintaining the OutRig™ Tray is designed to be simple and hassle-free:
- Dishwasher Safe: For cleaning, the tray can be placed directly into a dishwasher. This feature highlights its robust construction and the convenience of machine washing, making cleanup after outdoor meals effortless.
- Hand Washing Option: Alternatively, users can clean the tray using typical dish soap. This option is useful for quick spot cleaning or if a dishwasher is not available, ensuring the tray can always be kept hygienic.
Important Warnings and Safety Considerations:
The user guide includes critical warnings to ensure safe use and longevity of the OutRig™ Tray:
- Heat-Induced Flexing: A key warning is that "When the HDPE gets hot, it will flex a bit." This characteristic of HDPE means users should be aware that the tray's surface might not remain perfectly rigid under high temperatures.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight Storage: Directly related to heat-induced flexing, users are advised: "Do not store it in direct sunlight as it will flex with the heat." Prolonged exposure to intense sun could potentially lead to more significant or lasting deformation, although the manual implies it's a temporary effect. Storing it in the shade or indoors when not in use is recommended.
- Load Distribution: Users are explicitly warned: "Do not place a heavy pot or pan on the edge of the Tray." This indicates that while the tray is sturdy, its structural integrity is best maintained when weight is distributed evenly across its surface, or when heavier items are placed closer to the attachment point or center. Placing heavy objects on the edge could stress the material or attachment, potentially leading to instability or damage.
- Heat Protection for Hot Items: For very hot items, a specific precaution is advised: "If you set a hot pot or pan on the tray, use a heat protectant pad underneath." This warning is crucial for preventing direct heat transfer from extremely hot cookware to the HDPE surface, which could potentially cause localized melting, warping, or damage to the tray's finish, despite HDPE's general durability. A heat protectant pad acts as a barrier, safeguarding the tray.
In summary, the Breeo OutRig™ Tray is a thoughtfully designed accessory that enhances the functionality of the Breeo X Series® Chair for outdoor cooking enthusiasts. Its durable construction, ease of use, and simple maintenance, coupled with clear safety guidelines, make it a practical addition to any outdoor living space centered around a fire.
