Curing and Lighting Instructions
Curing Instructions:
First Lighting of the
Burntech
oven – After all
construction is completed, all elements of the oven and
chimney system must be completely dry. This means that
the unit must stand without any firing for a minimum of 28
days.
Only after that period of time can a first lighting take
place. The first fire must be small and well-controlled,
started with a small amount of kindling. Add no more than
eight pounds of wood, preferably small logs not more than
3” (three inches) in diameter. You will probably burn no
more than three to four of these small logs. Do not let the
fire burn for more than one hour. After this first lighting –
when the oven has started to “cure” Do not set another
fire for at least 24 hours.
Second Lighting – Start the fire slowly and gradually
as you did with the first lighting, but this time you can burn
up to ten pounds of firewood, probably four to five logs
that are 3” (three inches) in diameter. With the second
lighting you can let the fire burn two hours – no more.
Don’t “over burn”. If you start to use the oven and
begin a routine of “over burning,” you can permanently
and unalterably damage the unit.
Under no circumstances should you be burning
household trash, including chemicals and combustibles,
cardboard boxes, your office papers, scrap lumber
or stray branches from your yard, particularly pine.
WARNING:
Burning of above mentioned materials will
cause an unsafe condition and will void your warranty!
Heating the Pizza Oven for cooking:
Start the first fire slowly with a small amount of paper and
kindling (small dry wood splits or twigs) stacked in a
crossed or teepee fashion toward the center, rear of the
oven. Slowly add small but larger pieces of dried
hardwood of about three inches (2”) to four inches (4”)
diameter. The temperature will begin to rise in your
oven however it may take about 15 minutes to begin
a faster temperature ascent.
NOTE:
Take care not to feed your fire too fast so as to
smother it. As you add more wood, a temporary
decrease in temperature my occur. This is normal
and as soon as the new wood begins to burn, your
temperature will rise.
The next step is to ensure that your fire continue to
build and heat the entire oven. When a temperature of
about 500 degrees is reached, spread the coals throughout
the oven (toward the rear of the oven) while continuing to
feed the flames.
When the temperature of 600 - 700 degrees is
reached, use a hoe to rake all the coals together to one
side of your oven. (either side is acceptable). You are now
ready to cook in the center and on the side without coals.
Sweep the heated center of the hearth. This will need to
be done quickly so the brush doesn’t catch on fire.
The pre-heating of the oven will vary depending on the fire
within the oven and if the optional oven door is used.
Cooking Pizza in your
Burntech
Pizza Oven:
1. Roll out your dough to desired thickness, be sure
you put corn meal under dough so dough will slide off the
pizza peal, provided in your accessory kit (or purchased on
your own). Let stand about 5 minutes to let the dough rise.
2. Spread desired pizza sauce in a thin, even layer on
top of the dough. Cover with toppings as you wish.
3. Place pizza on peel and slide into the oven. Watch
pizza carefully as it will cook quickly. Check constantly.
Raise pizza edge with metal spatula to check bottom.
4. Turn pizza every 30 seconds to a minute to ensure
even cooking throughout. The crust will begin to puff and
turn brown. Depending on the thickness and toppings,
your pizza should cook in approximately 3-5 minutes.
5. Remove pizza with pizza peal let cool a little and
cut to desired size pieces and ENJOY!
Pizza Oven can be finished with Stucco (as
shown here), Brick, or Stone.
