STARTING THE FIRE
:
PLACE TWO SHORT PIECES OF FIREWOOD (3-4 IN DIAMETER)
ABOUT SIX INCHES APART IN THE CENTER OF HEARTH. NEXT, PLACE A SAFE LITE FIRE
STARTER SQUARES
(AVAILABLE AT WILDWOOD!)
BETWEEN THE PIECES OF WOOD.
LAY SMALL PIECES OF KINDLING ACROSS THE FIRST LAYER OF WOOD IN A CROSS
HATCH PATTERN, CREATING SEVERAL LAYERS SO THAT THEY ARE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE
SAFE LITE FIRE STARTER SQUARES. LIGHT THE SAFE LITE FIRE STARTER SQUARES USING A
MATCH OR BBQ LIGHTER. AS THE KINDLING BURNS, ADD ADDITIONAL PIECES,
GRADUALLY INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE FIRE. ONCE A GOOD SIZED FIRE IS
BURNING (ONE THAT WON’T GO OUT IF MOVED), GENTLY PUSH THE FIRE TO THE
BACK, LEFT, OR RIGHT OF THE OVEN USING THE OVEN BRUSH. CONTINUE TO FEED
WOOD PERIODICALLY. LEAVE DOOR SLIGHTLY AJAR.
•
USE ONLY SEASONED OR DRIED, UNTREATED WOOD IN THE OVEN. DO NOT BURN
CHARCOALS, COALS, TRASH/GARBAGE OR MANUFACTURED LOGS (PROCESSED SOLID
FUEL).
•
STORE WOOD IN A DRY PLACE, PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS.
DIRECT CONTACT WITH FOOD IS LIMITED TO BREAD PRODUCTS ONLY. FOR OTHER
FOODS, USE PROPER COOKWARE.

•
REMOVE ASHES USING OUR ASH-VAC OR FIREPLACE SHOVEL. NEVER VACUUM OUT
OR THROW AWAY COALS THAT ARE STILL BURNING.
•
KEEP YOUR OVEN CLEAN. YOU CAN BURN OFF CHEESE AND OTHER FOODS THAT ARE
STUCK TO THE HEARTH BY SPREADING HOT COALS OVER THE AFFECTED AREA AND
ALLOWING SUFFICIENT TIME (APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MINS) TO BURN OFF INGREDIENTS.
USE THE OVEN BRUSH TO PUSH THE COALS BACK INTO PLACE AND LIGHTLEY SCRUB
THE AFFECTED AREA. USE OUR
HEARTH MOP
LIGHTLY MOISTENED TO REMOVE FINE
ASH.
•
BEFORE LAUNCHING PIZZA, REMOVE FINE ASH WITH A DAMP
HEARTH MOP.
•
FOR A CRISPIER PIZZA CRUST, HEAT YOUR HEARTH FOR 4-5 MIN. BRUSH THE COALS
BACK INTO PLACE AND CLEAN THE HEARTH QUICKLY WITH A DAMP HEARTH MOP.
