Description
The Mad Spinning Cowl
The base of the spinner cowl is made from die cast aluminium with a strong cross section to give support and strength to the rotating spinner. The fins are made from stainless steel and are spot woven into place and then spot-welded giving extra strength during rotation.
In order to function properly the spinner should be removed and thoroughly cleaned at least once a year to remove any debris build up. Do not allow any cleaning agents to get onto the center spindle. Our recommendation is that the product is sent back to our workshop for service annually to ensure longevity of use especially where coal, wood or smokeless fuel has been used.
