    Questions About Firewood Storage

    All of our Corten steel products are pre-treated prior to dispatch to begin the natural weathering process. This means your fire pit or firewood storage unit will arrive with a partially developed patina, rather than raw, unweathered steel.

    Over the following weeks to months, as your products is exposed to the elements, the patina will continue to develop and deepen into a rich, consistent finish. This evolving surface not only enhances the visual appeal but also forms a protective layer that helps prevent ongoing corrosion.

    Because this is a natural process, each fire pit or wood storage unit will develop its own unique look over time - no two are ever exactly the same.

    In short: your Corten steel product arrives already on its way, but its final character is something that develops with you.

    We recommend burning dry hardwood firewood such as:

    • Red gum
    • Ironbark
    • Yellow box

    Hardwood burns hotter, longer and produces less smoke than softwood.

    Avoid treated timber, painted wood or construction offcuts.

    The best way to store firewood outdoors is off the ground and protected from direct rain, while still allowing airflow.

    A good firewood storage setup should:

    • Keep wood elevated off the ground
    • Allow air to circulate around the timber
    • Provide some protection from rain

    Open firewood storage racks or purpose-built wood storage units work well because they allow the wood to continue drying while keeping it organised and ready for use.

    Dry hardwood firewood will burn hotter, cleaner and produce less smoke.

    The patina usually begins developing within a few weeks of outdoor exposure.

    Depending on the climate and weather conditions, the full protective patina typically develops over several months.

    During this time the colour gradually changes from a darker steel tone to the warm, earthy rust finish that corten steel is known for.

    At Kindle and Kin we kick-start the process by applying a special treatment prior to shipping. This means your fire pit or wood storage unit will be developing its patina and looking great when you receive it.
