STARTING A FIRE
To start a fire, first place two small pieces of wood on the oven floor aligned front to back. Lay 5–6 pieces
of kindling across the first two pieces as per the diagram. Place 3 Weber® brand fire starters in between the
wood and light. Push the pile to the center of the oven.
TIP: Use the long handled peel to push the wood to the center of the oven. Then light the fire starters and
push them under the woodpile using a piece of kindling.

CURING THE OVEN
The goal is to increase the temperature of the oven at a rate of 50–75° F per hour by making a small fire
every hour. Use the chart at the end of this manual to record the starting time and temperature of the oven.
Start a small fire per the instructions. Allow the fire to burn and adjust the wood if necessary. You can place
the door in the partially closed position to establish a draft and keep smoke from rolling out. After the fire
has gone out place the door in the fully closed position until the next hour’s fire.
Prior to starting the next fire, open the door slowly and measure the temperature of the sides of the dome
paying attention to use the same spot each time you measure. Average left and right side temperatures and
record on the chart.
