Every part of your Pyro Tower was hand-rubbed with an FDA Approved
polymerized linseed oil to provide a safe and natural finish to protect the steel
from moisture designed to delay the natural rusting process.
If you wish to preserve the look of your Pyro Tower’s original appearance then
it will be necessary to apply additional coats of oil after the first burn and to
periodically inspect and reapply the oil as it will degrade over time due to UV
exposure from the sun. Simply clean your Pyro Tower with a dry cloth or warm
water if necessary. Allow to dry completely. Use a staining pad or cloth rag to
apply a very thin layer of food-safe polymerized linseed oil to all surfaces.
Thoroughly buff when done to remove excess oil to prevent a gummy finish.
You may also choose to allow the Pyro Tower to age beautifully through the
natural Patina process. Patina is a natural weathering process which occurs
when metal is exposed to oxygen and moisture that will gradually change bare
steel from a bluish gray color to a dark reddish brown. This natural process
varies the appearance of each piece making every Blaze unique.
Patina vs. Rust
This is a bit like geometry where a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not
a square. It's true that rust is a part of the patina process but whereas rust
has a well-deserved negative connotation a mature patina is actually a natural
protective coating that will preserve the integrity of the underlying metal.
The Pyro Tower is constructed from 3/16" plate steel that is three to five times
thicker than grills and fire pits from other manufacturers. The surface rust that
forms in the early stages of the patina process will not rust through the thicker
steel of the Pyro Tower as it will on thinner metal and will gradually convert
into an aesthetically pleasing protective shell that will last for decades.
One thing to note is that water runoff during the early stages of the patina
process can stain wood, concrete, or other light colored surfaces so keep that
in mind when selecting the location for your Pyro Tower.
