TIPS FOR USING YOUR SMART WOOD FIRED PIZZA OVEN
Different Types of Wood
•
While any dry well-seasoned hard wood is best, different dishes can be enhanced and complimented by using
different types of hard wood. Wood from fruit trees such as apple, cherry, orange and peach to name just a few
can add delicious flavours and aromas to your food.
• Similarly, hickory, maple, mesquite and cedar also work well and provide different flavours that go well with
different meats.
• Dry, well seasoned hardwood will burn hotter and will heat your oven faster while being more cost effective
and efficient. Smart recommends using good quality, properly dried wood for the best possible results.
• Treated woods, resinous woods and scrap wood should be avoided at all times. As you are cooking food in
your oven, you do not want to introduce any chemicals to your oven. This is a health hazard and will effect the
taste of your food.
• If you hear the wood sizzle in the fire and see moisture bubbling out of the end of a log, the wood is not dry
and/or well seasoned. This will produce more smoke, lower temperatures and possibly damage the oven.
Positioning Your Oven
• Safety should always be your first priority.
• Even while the fire is well contained in the oven and the oven is well insulated, ensure that other combustible
materials are far away from the oven at all times during use.
Ensure the oven has sufficient clearance from your home or other structures. While your Alfa oven is light and
mobile, a stone, concrete or brick patio is recommended in case of sparks or embers possibly falling out of your
oven due to improper placement of your fire, or too large of a fire within the oven.
Oven Operation
• Once the oven is cool always clean out the ash from your oven. Never leave it inside of your oven for extended
periods of time as it will tend to collect moisture and possibly damage your oven.
• Sweep and clean the chimney and flue at least once a year to ensure it is clean and operates effectively and
that soot and ash do not fall back into the oven.
• You can operate your pizza oven all year long. However when operating your oven during the off season when
the temperatures are cold it is important to build your fire more slowly to avoid thermal shock to the oven. This
can damage your oven and increase any risk of cracking.
• If you happen to spill any juices or sauces during cooking don’t worry. Simply place the fire over or close to
that spot the next time you cook. The hot temperatures will burn off any residual drippings or food that might
have fallen off your food.
Always use caution when operating your Smart Pizza Oven.
