INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Oven must be installed outdoors in a on a noncombustible stand or surface. Consult local laws and regulations for use of
wood-fired cooking equipment.
1. Unpack your oven using two people to lift it out of the box.
2. Remove and discard all protective film from the oven.
3. Once the oven is assembled per the instructions above and installed in its proper location, it is recommended to season the oven
prior to use.
4. Season and burn off two or more times by allowing the oven to reach 650 degrees Fahrenheit and then let the fire die out. For
directions on lighting a fire in your oven see the section below.
CHOOSING YOUR FUEL TYPE
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL FIRE STARTERS. THIS CAN CAUSE HARM TO OPERATOR AND PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE THE OVEN.
When choosing the wood to use in your oven we recommend using dry hardwood, such as oak and beech. Avoid resinous wood such as
pine or spruce. Never use treated lumber.
NOTE:
If the wood you are using produces a large amount of black smoke, it is generally an indication that you are using the wrong type
of wood.
FIRING UP YOUR OVEN
1. Start the fire in the oven approximately one hour prior to cooking. Split wood into small pieces about 10" long by 1/2" thick and
place into the center of the oven with kindling and paper.
2. Using a match or lighter, light the fire in the center of the cooking stone.
3. Continue to feed the fire with two or three larger pieces until it becomes well established.
4. Once your fire is established move it to the left side of the oven cavity using the ash broom.
5. The optimal temperature for cooking is around 650 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the built-in thermometer often as it does not take a
lot of wood to bring the oven to that temperature.
NOTE:
For a more precise temperature reading, invest in a laser thermometer.
6. Next, close the door of the oven, venting the butterfly valve on the flue enough to keep the flame burning. Continue to add wood
as needed.
7. When the oven reaches 620-650 degrees Fahrenheit you are ready to start cooking.
