Using the Skotti Cap Max is a breeze. First, if you're in a windy area, put two or three stainless - steel parts together to form a windbreaker. This will help keep the heat in while you're grilling. For making pizza, leave one side of the cap open to create a pizza - baking space. The included bamboo wood barbecue tongs can be used to turn your food, open bottles, and also act as the handle for the cap. When you're done using it, store the individual parts in the provided tarp bag or add them to the Skotti bag. To maintain the cap, clean it regularly with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent rust, especially for the stainless - steel parts. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface of the cap.
