Can I use The Bastard all year round?

Naturally!

The Bastard can be used all year round, even when it is freezing and/or there is frost on The Bastard. However, this tough Bastard does need some love from time to time, so maintain The Bastard well by following our maintenance tips.

Note: In winter, the temperature differences are extreme. To prevent the parts of ceramic from snapping and/or cracking, it is best to let it rise as slowly as possible.

Start with the top cap and damper only slightly open. You can gradually open these a little further and further, to let the temperature rise. So you need a bit of patience, but it will certainly be rewarded. All the better your winter meal will taste!
