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.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This oven gets very hot and will burn if touched without protection. When operating the oven, wear the proper
protective gear such as oven mitts rated for use with wood fired equipment.
High-Temperature Cooking
When the oven stone is between 620-650 degrees Fahrenheit, it is at a perfect temperature to cook pizza. At this temperature range your pizza should take less than three minutes to cook. To evenly cook a pizza you must rotate it with the pizza peel so that all sides experience even heat.
Medium-Temperature Cooking
When the oven stone is between 450-600 degrees Fahrenheit, it is at a good temperture to roast meat, vegetables, fish, and seafood. We recommend covering dishes to cook evenly prior to removing the cover to brown or finish the dish. Again, rotating your dishes will provide an even bake.
Low-Temperature Cooking
When the oven stone is between 325-425 degrees Fahrenheit, it is at a good temperature for baking breads, pies, and desserts.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Oven gets very hot. Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have removed the embers and it has cooled for a minimum of 30 minutes. Failure to do so can result in injury.
Once the oven has cooled and is cold to the touch, use the ash broom to brush the oven cavity to remove all the ash and debris. Never extinguish the fire with water. Extreme temperature changes can cause the oven stones to crack. Never use chemical cleaners. If you wish to clean the surface of your cooking stone, use a damp cloth when the oven is cold to brush out any remaining ash.
When finished cleaning empty the ash tray on the back of the oven so it is prepared for future use.
