7. TOP TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Q1. My fire keeps going out, what am I doing wrong?
Make sure the oven door is removed to allow a free flow of air� Closing the door restricts the oxygen supply and
will extinguish a fire within a few minutes�
Q2. Can I position the oven indoors or inside my garage?
No� The oven must never be positioned in an enclosed area because the smoke and fumes must be allowed to
escape properly�
Q3. Why is my pizza base sticking to the oven floor?
First of all, remember to sprinkle the pizza peel with flour and make sure your preparation area is floured well�
Don't wait too long to cook after adding your topping to the dough as it could start to soak it up and become
sticky� Make sure you don't have any holes or thin spots in your pizza base as these can allow moisture to
penetrate and cause sticking�
Q4. Why am I getting lots of black smoke?
Make sure you are using properly seasoned hardwood, ideally with a moisture content of less than 20%� This type
of wood burns hotter for longer periods and produces very little smoke and ash�
Q5. Can I use normal firelighters?
No� All firelighters should be free from kerosene or other additives that may soak into the floor of the oven and, in
turn, taint the taste of your food�
Q6. How long will the oven take to heat up before I can cook a pizza?
The oven should take about 30 minutes to heat up to pizza-making temperature� The size and length of the fire will
determine the temperature of the oven� The oven is at its optimum when all of the black carbon has burned off�
Q7. How can I tell what temperature my oven is operating at?
Simply use the thermometer included with your wood-fired oven� When used in free stand, position it in the mouth
10-15cm from the front of the oven NOT inside the oven� You can also buy infrared thermometers and other types
of thermometers to give you exact readings� However, once you have used the oven and experimented with it, you
will get a "feel" for the temperature�
Q8. How do I put the fire out?
Simply close the oven door� This will block the oxygen supply to the fire, extinguishing it in just a few minutes�
Q9. Is this oven only good for cooking pizza?
No� The oven can be used for pizza, bread, meats, fish and vegetables� A wood-fired oven can cook anything a
conventional oven can� The main difference is that this oven can reach temperatures higher than 450°C�
Q10. Can I cook meats and fish directly on the oven floor?
We recommend that meat and fish or any dish that will produce fat or liquid from cooking should be placed in a
container to avoid tainting the oven floor�
Q11. Is the oven frost-proof?
The oven has been tested by the manufacturer to be frost proof at -12°C� However, we recommend using the
waterproof outer cover which is available for additional protection�
Q12. Is the oven weatherproof?
The oven has been manufactured to be waterproof, however persistant wetting will affect the oven and moisture
will be absorbed� We recommended using a raincover�
Q13. If I haven't used my oven for awhile, will it still be okay to use?
Absolutely, although it's a good idea to light a small fire to slowly warm the oven before you want to start cooking
to "cure" your oven again�
Q14. If my oven is wet, will it still be okay to use?
If you haven't used it for a couple of months or the weather has been persistently wet, it might be a good idea to
light a small fire 3 to 4 hours before you want to start cooking to "cure" your oven again�
Q15. Can I paint my oven a different colour?
The colour of the oven is produced during the manufacturing process� This oven can be repainted using breathable
masonary paint�
