The Breeo Kettle Hook is an accessory designed to enhance the open-fire cooking experience with Breeo fire pits. It allows users to hang kettles, pots, or food directly over the fire, offering versatile cooking options beyond grilling.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Kettle Hook is to provide a stable and adjustable hanging point for cooking vessels or food items over an open fire. It integrates with the Breeo fire pit system, specifically utilizing the accessory post and Anchorpoint™ system for secure attachment. This allows for various cooking methods such as stewing, boiling, slow-cooking, or even smoking items like peppers, as depicted in the manual. The design enables users to adjust the height of the hook, controlling the heat intensity applied to the food. It also allows for swinging the hook away from the direct heat for easier access or to manage cooking temperatures.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual specifies weight limits for the Kettle Hook to ensure safe operation.

• 19-inch Kettle Hook: Do not exceed 20 lbs (9.07 kg) of weight.
• 24-inch Kettle Hook: Do not exceed 40 lbs (18.14 kg) of weight. These limits are crucial for preventing the fire pit from tipping and spilling hot contents. The Kettle Hook itself is constructed from durable materials, likely stainless steel, given Breeo's product line and the mention of steel products developing a natural iron oxide patina over time. The design features a primary piece and a secondary piece that slot together to form an "X" shape, which then attaches to the fire pit's accessory post.

Usage Features:

• Easy Assembly: The Kettle Hook is designed for straightforward assembly. Users slot the secondary piece into the primary piece to form an "X" and then slide it down the accessory post attached to their fire pit, securing it with the Anchorpoint™ system at the desired height.
• Versatile Cooking: It supports a wide range of open-fire cooking techniques, from hanging kettles for stews and soups to directly suspending food items like peppers or poultry for smoking or slow roasting.
• Adjustable Height: The Kettle Hook can be slid up or down the accessory post, allowing users to precisely control the distance between the food and the fire, thereby managing cooking temperatures effectively.
• Swivel Functionality: The hook can be swung from side to side, enabling users to move food away from direct heat for checking, stirring, or cooling, and then back over the fire.
• Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes several safety guidelines:
  • Always practice safety first, treating it like any open fire.
  • Never leave the fire pit and accessories unattended, especially around children and pets.
  • Adhere strictly to the specified weight limits (20 lbs for 19-inch, 40 lbs for 24-inch).
  • Avoid swinging a loaded kettle hook all the way to the back of the fire pit, as this can cause tipping.
  • Always wear gloves or other heat protection when adjusting the height or swinging the hook to prevent burns.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual does not explicitly detail specific maintenance steps for the Kettle Hook itself, Breeo products are generally designed for durability and ease of care. The warranty information provides insight into the material quality and expected lifespan:

• Lifetime Warranty: Breeo, LLC warrants the Kettle Hook to be free from workmanship and material defects for the lifetime of the original purchaser.
• Rust and Burn-Through Warranty: A five-year warranty covers against rust through or burn through from the date of purchase.
• Material Characteristics: The manual notes that steel products will develop a natural iron oxide patina over time, which is a normal characteristic and not covered by warranty as a defect. This implies the Kettle Hook is made of steel, and users should expect this natural aging process.
• Voiding Warranty: Altering the product or using it in any way other than its intended use will void the Lifetime Warranty.
• Cleaning: Although not explicitly stated for the Kettle Hook, general maintenance for Breeo fire pits includes cleaning out ashes every 4-5 burns to maintain airflow and ensure a smokeless fire. It can be inferred that the Kettle Hook, being an accessory, would benefit from regular cleaning after use to remove food residues and maintain hygiene. The durable construction suggests it can withstand typical cleaning methods suitable for outdoor cooking equipment.

The Breeo Kettle Hook is a robust and versatile accessory designed to expand the culinary possibilities of Breeo fire pits, allowing for a more diverse and enjoyable open-fire cooking experience, provided users adhere to the specified safety and usage guidelines.
