## Questions & answers

**Q: I'm investing over a thousand dollars in this fire pit combo. What kind of warranty or support can I expect from Sunstone if I encounter any issues with my STARBBQ-24FPBS-SMR-RSE-EXG?**

Their customer support team is readily available to assist with any questions or concerns you might have regarding operation, maintenance, or potential warranty claims, ensuring your investment is protected. See our warranty page for coverage details.

**Q: What kind of fuel can I use with the Sunstone StarBBQ 24"? Can I use wood for the fire pit, and charcoal for grilling?**

Absolutely! The Sunstone® StarBBQ™ 24″ Smokeless Fire Pit Base is incredibly versatile in its fuel options. You can use standard firewood for a cozy, smokeless fire pit experience, and high-quality lump charcoal or briquettes are perfect for achieving that authentic BBQ flavor on the Raised Searing Grate or ExGrate. We recommend avoiding lighter fluid directly on the stainless steel, opting for natural fire starters instead.

**Q: My current grill is a nightmare to clean. How easy is it to maintain and clean this 'Ultimate Versatile Outdoor Cooking Hub' after using it for grilling or as a fire pit?**

Cleaning your Sunstone® StarBBQ™ is designed to be hassle-free. The stainless steel components, including the Santa Maria Rim, Raised Searing Grate, and ExGrate, can be easily wiped down or scrubbed with a grill brush after each use. For ash removal from the fire pit base, simply wait for it to cool completely, then use a small shovel or shop vac. The smokeless design also means less residue buildup compared to traditional fire pits.

**Q: I'm worried about durability with outdoor products. What materials is the STARBBQ-24FPBS-SMR-RSE-EXG made from, and how well does it hold up to different weather conditions?**

The Sunstone® StarBBQ™ 24″ Smokeless Fire Pit Base is built to last, primarily constructed from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance. This premium material ensures it can withstand harsh outdoor elements, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, without rusting or degrading. With proper care, this unit will provide years of reliable performance.

**Q: How difficult is it to set up the Sunstone StarBBQ 24" Smokeless Fire Pit Base once it arrives, especially with all the different grate options?**

Setting up your Sunstone® StarBBQ™ 24″ Smokeless Fire Pit Base is surprisingly straightforward. The base itself is largely pre-assembled, and the Santa Maria Rim, Raised Searing Grate, and ExGrate are designed for easy, tool-free placement and removal. You'll mainly be unboxing, positioning it, and then choosing your preferred cooking setup for the day. We recommend having two people for initial placement due to its robust construction.
