Insert the Chrome wire Rack and the Roasting tray into the side rails at the desired height.
Regulate the heat of the cooker by means of the primary air valve, always be aware that overfiring
can occur if the valve is left constantly open, this will also consume a higher consumption of
firewood, making the hotplate reach an excessive temperature. Never fully fill the firebox or leave
the ashtray door open. Do not throw firewood through the loading door when refuelling.
When running the oven, to get it up to temperature use smaller split pieces – the greater the surface
area to volume of wood, the hotter the fire. Smaller pieces will create a hotter coal bed quicker, and
then adding the smaller pieces will regulate the heat better. Larger logs can’t be removed once
going, but also will give a lesser heat over a longer period of time.
Note: Cooking pots, pans with flat bottoms will be much quicker in getting up to temperature.
FIRST IGNITION
It is recommended that the first ignition when new is just a smaller fire for 3 or 4 hours to get the
parts stabilized. DON’T over fire the cooker when first used. This allows the parts to settle and
remove any moisture in the firebricks.
In the annual cleaning and maintenance, check the condition rope / glass tape below the hot plate,
and replace if necessary.
