HOW TO LIGHT YOUR CUISINART
®
OUTDOOR OVEN
USING HARDWOOD
1. Lay out kindling on your wood grate first.
2. Cut softwood to length and stack on top of kindling. Softwood is optional, but because it lights quickly and burns
hot, it will allow for a prolonged ignition which will help the hardwood to light.
3. Chop hardwood into thin slices and stack on top of softwood.
4. Remove ash tray and load the igniters onto ash tray spaced evenly, light with a lighter, and replace ash tray.
5. Leave the fire chamber door open to allow enough oxygen to fuel the fire. Monitor the fire until the hardwood is
fully lit, before closing the fuel chamber door.
6. Once fully lit, close the door and make sure the three air intake controls are open.
HOW TO REGULATE THE OVEN’S TEMPERATURE
Regulating the cooking chamber temperature can be achieved in three ways:
1. Adjusting the chimney damper position
2. Adjusting the three air intake controls on the front of the fire chamber
3. Adding firewood and stoking firewood during cooking
4. Keep the cooking chamber and Fire Chamber doors closed once you have a bright, hot fire. Only open the fire
chamber door when your fire requires more oxygen.
5. Always preheat the Gourmet Outdoor Oven for 40 min or more, depending on ambient temperatures.
Always get oven to desired temperature before adding food.
