Bonfeu BonBowl Corten Steel Firepit
The BonBowl is a corten steel fire bowl from BonFeu.
Because of its timeless design, the BonBowl fits perfectly in both the modern and classic garden. With the decorative cut-out logo, the fire bowl distinguishes itself from all other fire bowls. The raised rim prevents ash and wood from falling out in your garden.
To prevent water accumulation, the fire bowl is provided with four holes. This way rainwater can easily flow out and does not remain in the bowl.
Corten steel is a metal alloy consisting of iron to which copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel, and chromium have been added and is a weatherproof steel. Its strength is comparable to that of other alloy steels such as stainless steel. The rust-colored and very dense oxide skin shields the deeper material from oxygen, which greatly slows down oxidation, although, in cavities that are full of water, corrosion does continue. Due to the oxide film, it is not necessary to paint the material.

An Introduction To Plancha Cooking
Most of the Bonfeu range of firepits & outdoor fireplaces can be turned from standard heat sources into fun & exciting methods to cook food. A steel Plancha is most commonly used throughout this range.
Plancha Cooking
To make it simple, a Plancha is a solid steel cooking plate, heated from the fire below.
Very easy to use, in around 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions, the cooking plate will reach a temperature of around 300˚C on the inner edge and around 200˚C on the outer edge.
After each use, a Plancha can be easily cleaned. First of all, it’s important to remove all food scraps by sliing them into your fire. After the plate has cooled down, you can clean it with a wet cloth. It is important to keep the plancha baking plate greased at all times. Especially when storing the baking plate, it must be greased. This is because the baking plate is made of steel, which can rust over time.
