firewood + temperature TYPES OF WOOD MATTER Hardwood comes from deciduous trees that lose their leaves in winter. These include oak, walnut, maple, beech, ash, hickory and many more varieties. The most important requirement is to use hardwood which is dry and well seasoned. If the wood is wet or green, it will be harder to light, produce more smoke and will not generate as much heat while burning.

temperature cont. Cooking times can also vary based on the size of and type dishes being prepared. Generally, cooking in a wood-fired oven is done by cooking the the foods that require the highest temperature and have the shortest cooking times first such as pizza. As the oven cools, other foods would follow such as grilled meats, then roasted vegetables, fish and finally breads or desserts.

Never leave ash or burned wood in the oven where it will absorb moisture. Your XOPIZZA4W oven is self-cleaning. Any cheese, toppings or spills from a pizza, roast or other dishes will be carbonized by the high temperatures of the oven and are then easily removed.

faqs QUESTION: Why does my oven produce a lot of smoke? Check to make certain the wood is not wet or green. If you hear a hissing noise while burning - that is an indicator that the wood is not dry. Do not burn softwood or birch with the bark on.
