Build a fire
You must build a small fire. Recommended amount: 7-8 pieces of dry kindling wood. Use a
BBQ lighter or a long match to start the fire. Building a small fire can take 5-10 minutes.
(WARNING: Do not use any flammable liquids to start a fire).
For a faster way to start a fire you may use a butane torch.
Please open the air stopper in the chimney (turn down) when starting the fire
(WARNING: Do not close the dome door when burning the oven).
If fire does not spark, you may use a ball of newspaper to ignite the fire.
Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
Make sure the chimney air stopper is open while building a fire.
Once the fire has settled you may add larger pieces of dry firewood (using non-toxic dry
wood, seasoned medium or hardwood is recommended) fire takes longer to burn with larger
pieces of firewood.
WARNING: Do not place more than 7.7 LBS of firewood into the oven at the same time.
Once you have a large fire, allow heating the pizza dome for 30-45 minutes or desired
temperature.
If temperature is reached as per instructions, re-position firewood to the left side with the
pizza peel and use the pizza brush to remove any ash.
You may use an infrared thermometer as a useful accessory for wood-fired oven cooking, as
it can test the temperature in several areas of the oven, identifying the hottest spots in the
oven before you begin cooking your food (thermometer not included).
If using charcoal, it is recommended to use high quality lump charcoal.
Don’t use wax starter logs or other items that contain hazardous chemicals. This may affect
the taste of your food.
For other recipes such as sandwiches, deserts, meats, etc. please see recipe instructions.

Fire your Oven
How long you fire your oven depends on how much
cooking you will be doing, and how long you want your
oven to hold its heat.
Remember that you can only take out heat from the
oven that you put in. If you are going to be cooking a lot
of pizza for a large party, or baking lots of bread or a
large roast, fire your oven longer. If you are making
pizza for the family for a mid-week meal, you can fire
your oven for a shorter time.
Fire-in-the-oven cooking 250°C (480°F) + is used for baking pizza, pizza-like flat breads and
certain types of appetizers, all of which cook in a couple of minutes. Your Pizza Oven can be
pizza-ready in about 45 minutes.
There are two ways to know that the oven is ready to cook Pizza. First, when the oven dome itself
has gone clear, and there is no visible black soot. At this point, you should move the fire to one
side, while continuing to maintain a large fire going with the flame reaching the middle of the oven.
Alternatively, if you are using an infrared thermometer, the pizza stone surface should read
approximately 300°C (570°F) - 350°C (660°F). Pizzas are baked right on the floor next to the fire.
Leave the oven completely open, and add one piece of wood every 15-20 minutes to maintain a
large flame.
Build your fire up slowly, adding wood to the back and sides as the fire grows. Continue to add
wood until the oven reaches the desired temperature. Then, move the fire to one side and brush
the oven floor. Only use the copper brush and do not use steel wire brushes, natural fiber
brushes or wet cloths to clean the oven floor.
Clean the pizza stone with copper
pizza oven brush.

Baking the Pizza
After the oven have reached the desired temperature 250°C (480°F)+ for cooking pizza,
then clean the stone.
Test to make sure you pizza is not stuck on your peel by moving your pizza peel forward
and backward using short jerks - it should slide easily around.
If it does stick, lift it up on one side using your fingers, and throw a little flour underneath.
Slide your peel back and forth, and that should loosen it up. .
The best way to place your pizza is to push your peel toward your spot, then stop it just
short that spot, allowing the pizza to slide off the peel. Pull the peel backward as the
pizza slides forward. You will know that your oven is hot enough to bake correctly when
the cornicione of the fresh pizza puffs up almost immediately.
After about 60 seconds, slide pizza peel under the pizza and turn it 180 degrees, so that
the side that was furthest from the fire is now facing it.
After another 45-90 seconds, your pizza should be done. You can also try turning your
pizza twice, rotating it in thirds. Experiment, and stick with what works best for you.
Optionally, you can lift your pizza up for the last few seconds with your peel, holding it
closer to the dome. The reflecting heat of the dome will quickly finish baking your pizza if
the top is not quite done.
Don’t forget to keep adding wood to your fire to keep the flame active.
Different pizza toppings vary by cooking time; please refer to your pizza cooking
instructions from the pizza you purchased.
Place pizza inside the pizza oven by
using the pizza peel.
After using the pizza oven,
p
lease close the oven door.

Inside & around door changes colors after
using.
This is normal, the stainless steel will change
color after burning.
There's an odd smell inside the pizza oven. The smell is caused by the stone and stainless
steel protective cleaning oil. Heat the oven
once to eliminate smell.
How to turn off the pizza oven? Take out the wood and let the ash burn off.
Pizza crust is burning as soon as I place the
pizza in the oven.
The pizza oven temperature is too high,
remove some logs and wait for the oven to
cool down.
Warning: Make sure to wear protective gloves
before removing logs.
