When using tropical hardwood for heating your OFYR
®
Cooking Unit, only use
smaller quantities at the same time. The amount of heat generated by this type of
wood is such, that larger quantities used at the same time will cause the cooking
plate to warp.
Ashes can stay very hot for a long period of time. Sometimes even for more days. Therefore,
before disposing of your ashes in a regular bin, always fi rst put them in an empty zinc bin
and throw water over them so that they are completely wet. Only then dipsose of them in
your regular bin.
Never extinguish the fi re using water
3. USE
THE ITEMS MENTIONED BELOW ARE ALSO EXPLAINED THROUGH VIDEOS ON WWW.OFYR.COM.
3.1 FIREWOOD
• Use very dry wood with max. 20% humidity.
• Our preferred wood is beech wood which becomes thick charcoal. Ash wood also works well.
• Be very careful with using tropical hardwood which becomes very hot. When using too much of it
the plate might warp (see Fig. 1).
• Also charcoal can be used but preferably in combination with fi rewood.
With the OFYR
®
Gloves the mass of coals is easily shifted around if you want to
direct the heat elsewhere (see Fig.2).
