Starting the Fire

This Wood-Fired Pizza Oven & Smoker is designed to burn
cleanly and efficiently. Its unique firebox design allows for
easy setup and operation. Follow the simple steps below to
start your fire.
Step 1: Place Fire Starters
Remove the fuel grate and place fire starters on fire-starter
grate. Note: Avoid using fire starters that will produce exces-
sive amounts of soot or debris such as paper.
Step 2: Insert Fuel Grate & Light
Place the fuel grate above the fire-starter grate. After that,
use long matches or a long lighter to ignite the fire starters.
Step 3: Add the Fuel
Now it's time to add fuel. You can use anything that burns
without producing excessive soot or debris. We recom-
mend using flavored cooking wood or grilling charcoal.
Note: If you are going to be using the smoker oven, use
wood fuel. Charcoal smoke can produce an undesirable
flavor in your food so make sure to only use wood fuel after
you place food in the smoker oven.
Step 4: Control the Temperature
Once you've added fuel, slide the fire box back into the
appliance and close the door. The knobs on the front of the
door allow you to directly control the temperature inside
the pizza oven and the smoker oven.

At start-up, If the appliance is cool, make sure to open the
knob vents and allow the oven to heat as quickly as
possible.
Note: Only a small amount of fuel is required to maintain
temperature in the pizza oven and smoker. Be careful not
to add too much wood. Always use the knob vents to
control the cooking temperature.
Note: Cooking times and temperatures will vary depending
on fuel and other factors. It will be important to get a feel
for controlling the temperature with a variety of fuels.
