PIZZAS
Once the oven reaches 350°C, use an ember rake to push the wood to one
side, then brush off the ash with the brass brush. Add more wood to push the
temperature to 400°C.
You can now start to place pizzas on the opposite side to your fire. Again,
use the door to maintain/recover heat to cooking temperature (370°C+) if
necessary.
To ensure an even bake, use turning peel or pizza peel to rotate pizza
throughout the cook.
BAKING & ROASTING
Follow instructions until the end of step 2. Add logs until the temperature
is above your target cooking temperature, then allow the logs to burn to
embers. Have the door slightly open to maintain the temperature inside the
oven as the wood burns down.
Once the wood has burned to embers, control the temperature of the oven by
using the damper and the door.
If the oven cools, use small pieces of wood to restore the temperature,
opening the door and damper to allow the wood to burn fully before closing
again.
It may be useful to spread the embers along the back of the oven for a more
uniform heat.

STORING THE OVEN
To prevent rusting and weather damage, we recommend that your oven is
kept under a waterproof cover when not in use.
