CARING FOR YOUR TILE
• You should only cook pizza and dry, bread dishes directly on the stone tile.
If you are cooking other dishes (e.g.: meat or vegetables) we recommend
using an oven proof dish.
• Use a steel bristle brush or the edge of your peel to remove any debris
from the tile.
• Avoid fatty liquids and water coming into contact with the tile.
TIP: Burning your oven at a high temperature will also help clean your
stone tile.
TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLE LIGHTING / REACHING OR MAINTAINING TEMPERATURES
Managing fire can be tricky to start with, however with practice it does
become easier! If you are having trouble lighting your oven or getting to
your desired temperatures follow our tips:
• Top up the wood box via the hopper with
small
amounts of fuel – Do not
overfill the wood box, this will smoother the fire.
• Position the back of the Ember to face the direction of the wind. This will
allow the maximum air flow into the oven, helping to ignite the wood and
increase temperatures!
• Use the metal peel/ or a fan to blow or waft air into the back of the wood
box. This will help accelerate the airflow into the back of the oven, helping
all the embers to ignite. Alternatively, use a blow torch onto the fuel to
help speed up the process.
• Check the fuel is suitable for wood fired cooking and completely dry. If
your fuel is damp or the incorrect fuel (ie: a soft wood) it will not burn
correctly and cause a heavy amount of smoke.
• If temperatures drop during your cook, add small pieces of fuel via the
hopper. When cooking at high temperatures (i.e. 400°C) you can add a
small handful of pellets to quickly spike the temperatures. This helps when
cooking Pizzas!
