while it i in use is not recommended.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR INSTA FIRE EMBER OVEN INDOORS
STEP 1
If you have previously used your Ember Oven, pull out the Burn Box Tray and empty any ashes that might be still in it.
STEP 2
Place two cans of Insta Fire Canned Heat+ fuel into the Burn Box Tray. Remove
the canned heat lids and carefully fluff up the wicks, carefully.
STEP 3
Push the Burn Box Tray PARTIALLY back in, leaving enough space to light
each wick. Once each wick is lit, push the Burn Box Tray in as far as it will
go.
STEP 4
Make sure: A: the Chimney lid is closed; B: the Air-Control Knob is turned all the way to the right, which will leave the vent on the Burn Box Tray door completely open; C: the Rear Vent is completely open.
STEP 5
Allow approximately 15-20 mins for the Ember Oven to preheat to the desired temperature.
STEP 6
When you are done using the Oven, douse the flames from the Canned Heat with the enclosed Snuffer. To use the Snuffer, keep the Burn Box Tray closed. Insert the Snuffer through the open vent on the door of the Burn Box Tray. Place the snuffer over each flame.
CAUTION: (EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES ON THE CANNED HEAT FIRST, BEFORE OPENING THE BURN BOX TRAY. OPENING THE TRAY WHILE THE ‘CANNED HEAT IS STILL BURNING MAY CAUSE HAZARDOUS FLARE UPS.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR INSTA FIRE EMBER OVEN OUTDOORS
STEP 1
If you have previously used your Ember Oven, pull out the Burn Box Tray and empty any ashes that might be still in it. Leave the Burn Box pulled out for Step 4.
STEP 2
Using the wood handle at the top of the Ember, open the Chimney lid and leave
it open until Step 7.
STEP 3
Push in and turn the Knob on the side of the Ember clockwise until the Grate
inside the Chimney rests horizontally in the locked position to receive
biomass material (twigs, charcoal briquettes, etc.).
STEP 4
Pour InstaFire Fire Starter [or fire starter of your choicel into the Burn Box
Tray and light. Fully close the Burn Box Tray.
STEP 5
To increase the size of the flame in the burn box, drop a small amount of flammable biomass material into the burn box, onto the Grate below. It is best to start with a combination of smaller twigs—these will catch fire quickly.
STEP 6
As the fire grows you may increase the size of the biomass material you place
in the Chimney. For best results, drop a small number of charcoal briquettes
into the Chimney as you build your fire; they will extend the fire’s burn
time. When you see flames coming out of the top of the Chimney, close the
Chimney lid. The oven will now begin heating.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL THE CHIMNEY. DOING SO WILL BLOCK THE, OXYGEN FLOW
IN YOUR EMBER AND COULD SNUFF OUT THE FIRE.
STEP 7
Watch the temperature gauge, and do not place food in the oven until the proper temperature has been reached. Monitor the Thermometer above the Burn Box Tray to determine the temperature. It typically takes about 15 1o 20 minutes to preheat the oven.
STEP 8
Once the oven is properly heated, open it using the large wood handle on the
Convection Oven Chamber door. Place the food to be cooked in the oven, close
the oven door, and give it time to cook. Tend to the fire in the Chimney as
needed (see Regulating Oven Temperature on the opposite page).
STEP 9
Depending on how long your food needs. 10 cook, you may need to tend to the
fire in the chimney to keep it going. To do this, open the Chimney lid and add
more biomass material as needed. Once you are done adding biomass material,
shut the Chimney lid.
NOTE: A mixture of charcoal and twigs will give the most even heat
REGULATING OVEN TEMPERATURE
There are a few ways to help regulate the temperature of your Ember Oven:
SELECT BIOMASS MATERIAL
The type of biomass fuel used will greatly determine the heat generated – i.e. Sticks and twigs will burn quickly and produce a lot of heat quickly but will also burn out quickly. Charcoal briquettes take longer to bring up to temperature but will maintain a steadier. longer-term heat source.
ADJUST AIR-CONTROL KNOB
Turn the Air-Control Knob on the door of the Burn Box Tray. Turn the Knob
right to let more oxygen into the Ember Oven and turn up the temperature. Turn
the Knob left to reduce the oxygen in the Oven and turn down the temperature.
OPEN OR CLOSE THE REAR VENT
Open the Rear Vent at the back of your Ember Oven to let in more oxygen and
turn up the heat. Close the Rear Vent to reduce the oxygen and turn down the
temperature.
