MANAGING THE OVEN FIRE
STARTING THE FIRE
Build a small kindling fire of 2�25–3 kg (5–7 lbs) of heavy, hardwood� We suggest using a fire starter (paraffin/sawdust stick) to
start the fire� Begin with (3) small pieces of wood (about 25–76 mm (1–3") diameter and 356–406 mm (14–16") in length)� The
fire should be located on side of the oven chamber opposite the radiant gas burner� The fire may be burned at the back of the
oven at the center provided the coal bed is kept at least 305 mm (1 ft�) away from the Radiant Burner� Wood may be burned at a
rate not to exceed 6�8 kg (15 lbs) per hour�
Use only seasoned hardwoods with a moisture content of 20% or less� Use of soft woods, such as pine, cedar, hemlock etc�, and
wet or “green” wood, will cause a build-up of residue throughout the exhaust system� (See the FUELWOOD FACTS section later in
this manual, or consult factory for information on what types of wood can be used for oven fuel�)
The fire should be ignited a couple of hours before the oven needs to be at cooking temperature� Once the oven is being used
daily, the fire can be ignited using still glowing coals from the previous day’s fire�
The oven is heated more evenly and effectively by the fire positioned on the side rather than in the rear of the oven� Adding
about 2�25–3 kg (5–7 lbs) of wood per hour should bring the oven temperature up about 138 °C (100 °F) per hour (this will vary
slightly depending on the type and moisture content of the wood and the size of the oven)�
The floor temperature is indicated by the Digital Hearth Temperature Readout and should not exceed 454 °C (850 °F)� Once the
desired temperature is reached, maintain it by the addition of wood as needed� Do not toss or throw wood against back or side
walls of oven—this may void the warranty� At the end of the work day, put removable Night Heat Retention Door(s) into door
opening to hold heat in the oven overnight�
DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS OVEN. IF FLAMES ARE SPILLING OUT OF THE DOOR OPENING, OR IF OVEN
FLOOR TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 454 °C (850 °F), THEN YOU ARE OVER-FIRING THE OVEN.
MANAGING THE FIRE / TEMPERATURE
These suggestions will normally produce an oven floor temperature of 260–315 °C (500–600 °F)� If you need to achieve higher
temperatures, use a little more wood� For lower temperatures, use a little less wood�
T o maintain temperature: 1–1½ logs with 203–305 mm (8–12") of open flame working on the coal bed�
IMPORTANT NOTES
•
One pound of properly cured, heavy, hardwood produces the potential of 1�9 kW (6,500 BTU/hr)�
•
The temperature sensor (thermocouple) is located at the center of the floor, one inch under the surface� The thermocouple will
give false readings if the fire is placed on top of it�
•
If at anytime the oven is allowed to cool to room temperature for an extended period of time, this heat-up procedure will need
to be repeated to avoid thermal shocking of the refractory stone which can cause excessive cracking�
DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY LIQUIDS ONTO THE OVEN DECK OR INTO THE OVEN INTERIOR
AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE CERAMIC AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN A FIRE IN THIS OVEN.
KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS AWAY FROM THE OVEN WHILE IT IS IN USE.
DO NOT USE PRESSED WOOD PRODUCTS IN WOOD STONE EQUIPMENT
AS THEY MAY DAMAGE THE CERAMICS.
