IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It’s not easy to cook with fire for the first time. Here are some tips to help!
How we suggest you prepare.

  • Only use 100% oakwood pellets that are means for cooking and grilling.
  • Avoid using softwood pellets as they won’t burn as efficiently.
  • Keep cover closed & preheat for 15 minutes to reach 950˚F (510°C).
  • Do not use pellets meant for animal bedding or heating. These can contain additives and potentially harmful chemicals.
  • Never add a full load of pellets while lighting or topping off. Instead, add small amounts of pellets gradually and allow these to light fully before topping off.
  • Wind can cause flames to escape from the rear of your pizza oven. As always, use caution when your pizza oven is lit and do not leave it unattended.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

  1. Make sure the door is on and only take off when adding or removing food.

  2. Fill your pellet box with 100% oakwood pellets (maximum 0.8lb / 350g pellets)

  3. Place a natural firestarter in the lip of your pellet box. We recommend you do not use petroleum based firestarters. Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3!

  4. Light the firestarter and slide the pellet box into your burner.

  5. Once your starter pellets are fully alight, add small amounts of pellets gradually.

  6. Your pizza oven will take approximately 10-15 minutes to reach optimum cooking temperatures. If using in colder tempuratures, preheat and cooking times could take longer

  7. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating ash.

  8. After 10-15 minutes, put your pizza into the oven and put the door on.

  9. Move your pizza to let another side close to the fire, put the door on again.
    Repeat this step 3-4 times.

  10. After about 3 minutes your pizza is ready to serve. Different thickness will take different cooking times.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: please make sure the door is closed during baking except when putting or fetching food, otherwise fire may come out from the back of oven and it’s hard to keep the baking temperature inside oven.

ASH DISPOSAL

  • After cooking, please allow the remaining pellets to burn and cool naturally for at least 60 minutes.
  • Empy the ash tray only when ash is completely cold.
