sunflower oil.
Any oxidation that does form can easily be removed using
steel wool and re-oiling The Cook Top.
The more your Arteflame is used,
the better the Cook Top will be protected by the oil that you use on it.
This
oil will actually impregnate The Cook Top and prevent oxidation.
The operating temperature of the cook top
depends on the amount of wood
that is in the fire.
As a guideline, expect the inner edge of the cook top to
reach 425F and the outer edge 250F.
425F is about the ideal temperature
to sear steaks while 250F is perfect for vegetables.
The differences in
temperature are ideal for cooking a wide variety of foods simultaneously.

burned out.
Water can be used to extinguish the fire.

and can remain hot for hours. An optional lid is available from our store as
well.
