CURING THE OVEN
Note:
In cold or humid climates it is recommended that the minimal curing period be extended to ensure completion.
Initial firing procedures
The oven must be cured so as to remove moisture that has accumulated during the
installation. Therefore, the
initial firing is the single most critical component in
completing a good installation
. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper
operation of your oven for many years to come.
First firing-5 to 8 hours
Not to exceed 350F (176C)
Use 24-48 cans of Alcohol Canned Heat fuel (sold by Wildwood). Place 12 fuel cans
evenly around the circumference of the oven. Light cans using a match or barbecue lighter.
Monitor oven temperature with
infrared temperature gun
or our built in gauge
.
Local
ambient temperatures will affect curing time. Add or remove alcohol cans to reach desired
temperature of 325- 350F. The first set of cans will burn for 2.5 hours. After one hour has
passed, light the second round same as the first. The second set of cans will burn for
another 2 hours. The first and second rounds should overlap as to increase the fire in the
oven. Continue to monitor the oven temperature periodically w/ the hand held
temperature gun. Cooler climates may require a third round of cans. When second cans
run out of fuel and the flame is expended, close the oven door. Allow oven to cool down
overnight.
On the next morning, remove oven door.
Caution: Oven may still be hot!
Note: Local ambient air temperature may require more canned hear to achieve 350F.
Second firing-5 hours
Not to exceed 500F
Use our
SAFE LITE
fire starter to light a pile of 6 to 8 pieces of small firewood, placed in
the center of the oven. Each piece should be approximately 6 inches long and no thicker
than 1 inch. Flames must not be allowed to reach the dome of the oven. Continue to
maintain temperature by adding 1or 2 sticks of the same size kindling every 15-20
minutes for the entire 5 hours. At the end of the second firing, close the oven door and
allow to cool overnight.
On the next morning, remove oven door.
Caution: Oven may still be hot!
Clean oven using our
Ash Vac-MU405
Your oven is now ready for normal use!
For initial firing during each use, bring your oven up to temperature more gradually. This
should take up to 2 hours.
WARNING: OVENS EQUIPPED WITH DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH THE DOORS
FULLY OPEN, OR THE DOORS FULLY CLOSED. WHEN THE DOORS ARE LEFT
PARTIALLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE OVEN, CREATING
A RISK OF FIRE AND SMOKE.
