Your wood-fired oven is made from heat-resistant clay, but the water used to form the clay must be cooked out before
your oven can be put into use� This process is called curing� The first step involves drying the water out of the clay and the
second is tempering the clay� This is achieved by lighting several small fires inside the oven, over a period of one to three
days, gradually increasing the oven temperature�
We recommend a total of 6 to 8 hours of curing, starting at a temperature of 50°C and increasing the temperature at
approximately 25°C per hour (use the thermometer in the stand provided)� This can be done either in one long burn or
over two to three days� Start with a small kindling fire and slowly build up to a bigger fire using one or two small logs,
approximately 2�5cm wide and 30cm long�
Although this is unlikely to happen, make sure you do not overheat the oven, as it can cause cracks in the components�
(Don't worry if small hairline cracks appear in the surface of the clay – this is completely normal�)
Simple steps to curing your wood-fired oven:
• Place a firelighter in the centre of the round part of the oven floor and stack small pieces of kindling around it to form
a tower (see image on following page)�
• Light the fire�
• Once the kindling has caught fire, slowly add small pieces of hardwood logs�
• The curing fire should be kept alight for at least three hours on the first day and for a longer period on the second day�
• Generally you will only need to cure your oven once� If, however the oven hasn't been used for a long period or
has become wet, it is advisable to start with a smaller fire 3 to 4 hours beforehand to warm up the oven before you
establish a large hot fire�
4. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR OVEN
• You do not need to clean the oven with cleaning products because the high temperatures will kill any germs and bac-
teria� Any food spillages will simply be burnt to ashes, which you can sweep out later�
• After each use, or when ash has built up too much, allow the ash to cool then sweep it out of the oven with a metal
brush into a suitable metal container� Afterwards, you can use the cooled ash as a fertilizer for your garden�
• Never throw water into the oven as this could damage its components�
• It's a good idea to clean the flue pipe every now and then� Use a brush to loosen any soot stuck inside the pipe or
underneath the rain cap�
• Metal components can be resprayed with heat-resistant paint, e�g� BBQ paint available at DIY stores�
