First Time Lighting- (Break-In Burn)
Follow the instructions below before cooking in
the pizza oven or smoker oven. It is important to
remove any oil residue or moisture that enters
the appliance during manufacturing and
transportation with a self-cleaning burn. Also,
be sure to follow the instructions for proper first
time care of the masonry which includes the
pizza stone and Base Oven Bricks.
•Open the doors and remove any packaging.
•Remove all the bricks and stones from the
pizza oven.
•Carefully clean the pizza stone with a
damp/clean rag. Also, use a damp rag to
wipe the base Oven Bricks.
Do not use soap or
detergent
as this will damage the masonry.
•Carefully dry the pizza stone and three bricks
with a clean towel and then allow to air dry.
• Clean the walls inside of the smoker box
pizza oven with warm water, mild detergent,
and a non-abrasive scrubber. Dry with towel.
•Place masonry back in the pizza oven when
dry (After the Break -in Burn).
Never place
damp masonry in a Hot pizza oven
It may
crack.
•Follow instructions on
page 9
to light the fire.
•Heat the oven to approximately 500oF
(260oC) for at least 2 hours. Be careful not
to exceed 650oF (350C) in the pizza oven.
•Now your oven is ready to use!
Cooking in the Pizza Oven
It’s easy to cook just about anything in this fully
insulated and extremely efficient pizza oven!
Use the pizza oven instead of the smoker when-
ever you want to plank, roast, or bake without
smoke.
Avoid cooking foods that will drip fat or grease
on the pizza stone. This can damage the stone.
Instead make sure to put foods like lasagna,
meat, and anything else that might drip in one
of the non-stick pans or on a cookie sheet.
Follow instructions on page 11 to light the fire
and
maintain
your
desired
cooking
temperature. The pizza stone takes about 90
minutes to heat up and will stay hot for hours.
For best results, we recommend a laser
thermometer
to
measure
the
exact
temperature of the pizza stone. Pizza
cooking time & temperatures will vary
depending on your recipe.
Cooking Pizza
Always use cornmeal when baking on the
stone surface to prevent dough from sticking.
Use a wood peel dusted with cornmeal to
place pizza and bread on the stone. Then use
a steel peel to remove your food.

Not Just Pizza!
The pizza oven is great for a
variety
of other
cooking methods.
Planking
Try planking a beautiful piece of salmon or
some veggies and scallops on a cedar plank.
The pizza stone provides a great surface for
planking all kinds of food.
Roasting
If you are looking to roast without smoke, try
using the pizza oven for a controlled, even
heat. Again, use a pan to make sure that
nothing drips on the pizza stone.
Baking
Bake bread, muffins, cornbread, cakes and
everything else you love. Use a thick non-
stick or cast iron pan or be sure to dust the
pizza stone with cornmeal first because
dough will stick
to the stone.
