Wood Fired Pizza Oven by Smart
User Manual & Assembly Instructions
USING YOUR SMART WOOD FIRED PIZZA OVEN
1. In the middle of the oven, make a small fire using small and medium sized dry wood.
2. Once the fire has started, add larger pieces of wood and move the embers towards one side of the oven. Ad
wood slowly so as not to suffocate the fire.
NOTE:
Please be patient when adding wood and starting the fire in your Smart pizza oven. The oven chamber
temperature can take up to 40 minutes to heat up. It is much easier to control the temperature by gradually
growing the fire rather than adding too much. The oven does not require a large fire to heat up.
Starting too large of a fire will make the pizza oven cook too quickly, and excessive flame and heat can become
dangerous. This can also cause marks the front panel of your pizza oven as if there is too much flame they
cannot be contained within the oven chamber and will exit through the front.
3. After a period of continuous fire, the oven dome will become slightly ‘white’ as a result of the high
temperatures exceeding 250°C / 480°F. Use the supplied pizza oven utensils to scrape the wood fire across to
one side of the pizza oven to allow the pizza oven to better hold the internal temperature. Then use the supplied
copper brush to clean the remaining area of the pizza oven floor.
4. The oven is ready to use at this point.
AFTER THE INITIAL COOKING PROCESS
After the initial cooking process with the wood fire still running inside the cavity which is ideal for traditional style
pizza you can extinguish and remove the fire. The pizza oven will still maintain a high temperature for several
hours providing the ability to cook breads and desserts with the door and valve in the chimney both closed to
help retain any remaining heat within the pizza oven cavity.
1. Once you have cooked your pizza, extinguish the fire, close the oven door and the valve within the chimney
to reduce the level of oxygen within the oven cavity. After at least 30 minutes, the fire will be completely extin-
guished and will turn to a hot ash.
2. Carefully remove the ash from the oven using the copper brush.
3. The oven is ready for cooking at a lower, steady temperature for breads, desserts and slower styles of cooking.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
1. Once you are 100% sure that the pizza oven chamber has cooled, remove the ash by using the supplied cop-
per brush either by:
•
Sweeping the ash through the front of the pizza oven
•
Removing the bricks within the pizza oven (allow at least 24 hours prior to doing this, as the bricks will still carry
heat for a long time) and sweeping the ash into the rear of the oven and into the removable tray at the back of
the oven. This tray can then be removed and the ashes thrown into the bin.
2. Use a damp cloth to gently clean the oven floor and the bricks.
