using the oven
LIGHTING THE OVEN CONTINUED:
After 15 minutes with the door closed, the
ambient temperature in the oven should have
reached approximately 600+ degrees F
(320+ degrees C) as seen on the external
thermometer.
To prepare for cooking:
Remove the door (CAUTION | Extremely Hot)
and set aside safely.
Using the tool provided, heavy fire tongs and/or
fire resistant gloves - slide the steel wood holder
(brazier) with the burning wood and coals all the
way to the left hand side of the oven.
After moving the fire to the left side of the oven,
brush the oven floor clean of ash and debris.
Use a long handle brush with brass or copper
bristles. Never use steel wire brushes, wet cloths,
natural or plastic fiber brushes to clean the oven
floor.
Watch as your beautiful rolling fire follows the
internal dome of the oven.
Add additional wood as needed to maintain your desired
temperature. Never toss or throw wood into the oven.
Before cooking, check the oven floor temperature using
a non-contact infrared digital themometer.
