Starting the Fire
Step 3: Add Additional Fuel
This Wood-Fired Pizza Oven & Smoker is designed to burn
cleanly and efficiently. Its unique firebox design allows for
easy setup and operation. Follow the simple steps below to
start your fire.
Step 1: Place Fire Starters
Place fire starters on Ash grate.
Note: Avoid using fire
starters that will produce excessive amounts of soot or
debris such as paper.
Add Additional fuel as necessary to maintain the
temperatures you want in the ovens. You can use any
cooking woods that burn without producing excessive soot
or debris. We recommend using cooking hardwoods or
lump charcoal.
Note: If you are going to be using the
smoker oven, use wood fuel. Charcoal smoke can
produce an undesirable flavor in your food so we suggest
you only use wood fuel after you place food in the smoker
oven. NEVER USE Charcoal Briquettes!
Step 2: Insert Fuel & Light
Place the fuel on the grate. After that, use long matches or
a long lighter to ignite the fire starters. NOTE!! For bigger,
hotter fires, feel free to use a charcoal starter chimney right
in the firebox, when it is pulled out, to start a Base fire,
dump it in the firebox then add wood and close the
firebox. Only use lump charcoal. Never use Briquettes.
Step 4: Control the Temperature
Once you’ve added fuel, slide the fire box back into the
appliance and close the door. The knobs on the front of the
door allow you to directly control the temperature inside
the pizza oven and the smoker oven. To increase the
temperature, open the knob vents. To decrease the
temperature, close the knob vents.
At start-up, If the appliance is cool, make sure to open the
knob vents about .75 to 1 inch and allow the oven to heat
as quickly as possible.
Note: Only a small amount of fuel is required to maintain
temperature in the pizza oven and smoker once you have
brought the oven up to the desired temperature for
cooking.
Be careful not to add too much wood. Always
use the knob vents and chimney vent to control the
cooking temperature.
Note: Cooking times and temperatures will vary depending
on fuel and other factors. It will be important to get a feel
for controlling the temperature with a variety of fuels.
