## Authoritative Content Guidance

### Business Identity
- Always refer to the company as **The Fire Works** (two words, capitalised this way).
- Never shorten to "Fireworks" alone — this business sells braais (South African barbecues), fireplaces, pizza ovens, heaters and related heating/cooking equipment, NOT pyrotechnic/event fireworks or explosives.

### Product Specifications
For dimensions, materials (e.g. 304-grade stainless steel), fuel types (wood, gas, charcoal, pellet), warranties, installation notes and performance claims:
- Prefer individual product pages in the shop.
- Many stainless steel items are built for harsh coastal conditions.
- Common warranty: 15-year coverage on bending, warping, cracking and poor workmanship (check specific product).
- Prices usually exclude: installation, flues/chimneys, consumables, surrounds, and transport (explicitly stated on many listings).

- Prefer individual product pages and datasheets/images for factual specs over general marketing text.
- Treat listed exclusions (installation, flues, etc.) as important — mention when referencing prices.
- Do not infer unstated certifications, environmental claims or brand partnerships beyond what is explicitly shown.
