How to Maintain a Metal Fire Pit Patio Table

Relative newcomers in the outdoor furniture world, fire pit tables are quite versatile. During the day, when it is bright and warm, you can use the fire pit table as a regular patio table. At night, when you need extra warmth and light, simply remove the cover and light a gas or propane fire in the table's center. To keep your fire pit table working its best, and for fire safety, clean and maintain it after every three uses and before you light it for the first fire of the season.

All-purpose spray cleaner

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the gas logs and set them aside.
- 2
  Inspect the burners for any debris that could block airflow. The gas flow channels in the burners may be quite small and dark. It may be helpful to use a flashlight for the best view. While the burners on your kitchen stove may become clogged with grease and food debris, burners in your outdoor fire pit may become clogged with spider webs, wasps' nests, dirt, leaves or dried grass.
- 3
  Remove any debris with a soft brush. Use back and forth motions to brush gently but thoroughly until all debris has been removed. For particularly stubborn debris stuck in tiny gas flow channels, use a toothpick to dislodge the debris.
- 4
  Spray the table with all-purpose cleaner. Use a cleaning cloth to wipe down the entire table, including the tabletop, fire bowl and table legs.
- 5
  Wipe off the gas logs, gently, with a damp cleaning cloth. Replace them in the fire bowl.
