skBOMA maintenance:

You have two options for maintaining your skBOMA:
1. Rust Patina Look: If you prefer the rustic, weathered appearance, allow the skBOMA to rust naturally. Exposure to water will create a rust patina all around the skBOMA.
2. Preventing Rust to keep Carbon Steel finish: If you prefer to avoid the rust look, follow these steps: Weekly Maintenance: Clean and oil the skBOMA with hot boiled linseed oil available from most hardware stores using a rag. After Each Use: After every fire, ensure the skBOMA is cleaned and oiled to maintain its condition and prevent rust.
The Grill maintenance:
Grill Maintenance (if applicable): If your skBOMA includes a grill, wipe it down weekly with vegetable oil, preferably olive oil. This will prevent rust and help retain the grill's black appearance. Once the black appearance forms you can wipe it down with oil, as and when it becomes too dry or starts to form rust, which will need less maintenance than its initial weekly maintenance.
Warning:
1. Sharp Edges: Be aware that the skBOMA components have relatively sharp edges. Assemble with care, preferably using protective gloves to avoid injury.
2. Rust Stains: When the skBOMA rusts, it may stain the surface it rests on, even though it stands on its three feet. To prevent rust stains, use a rust-removing solution on the surface periodically.
