4. Set the Cooking Floor
Overview
The Artigiano cooking floor is set on a thin layer (1/8”) of
sand. Measure your hearth to ensure that you are
centering your oven left and right on the hearth. How far
back you set the cooking surface will depend on the size
and material you are using for the oven landing in front of
the oven opening. Do a trial layout using your oven
landing material and your oven floor. This will help you
place your oven to the correct depth on the hearth slab.
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of fine sand on the insulating layer,
and set the cooking floor pieces tightly together. Keep the
floor pieces clean to stop sand from getting into the floor
joints.
4.1. Set the floor pieces tightly together.
After all of the floor pieces have been set, tap them into
final location with a rubber mallet. Take care to ensure that
the cooking floor is level, and that each floor piece is set to
the same height and there are no ridges or high/low spots
that will catch your pizza peel.
4.2. Set the cooking floor tight, level and flush.
