    TEMPERATURE SETTINGS Pizzas are traditionally made in wood-burning pizza ovens that reach temperatures of approximately 700 degrees and, sometimes in excess of 900 degrees. Your Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ Artisan Pizza Oven is designed to simulate one of these traditional, outdoor, wood-fired ovens. Making pizza in these ovens requires constant attention to ensure a proper crust.

  • Page 24: Using Your Smoke Tray

    Smoking with your smoke tray adds extra flavor to your pizza crust and toppings. We recommend the use of sawdust ONLY in your Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ Artisan Pizza Oven. Sawdust not only smolders and smokes so much better than chips or chunks, but it also does not ignite as easily.
  • Page 25 To add additional sawdust, or to move smoldering sawdust around, carefully remove smoke tray, remove covers, adjust sawdust, and replace. TIP: Fill smoke tray with water or ice cubes. The steam will add moisture to your food. Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet 1.800.868.1699 www.KalamazooGourmet.com ™...
