LIGHTING & OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting
01 - Access The Fuel Grate
Remove the rear door to access the fuel grate.
Place 2-3 natural fire starters in even spacing at the
bottom of the fuel grate, then light the starters.
02 - Add Wood
Place 4-6 pieces of kiln-dried wood on top of the
starters and allow them to catch fire.
For best results, wood pieces should be
approximately 4-5 inches long with 1-1.5 inches in
diameter. Smaller pieces will burn too quickly, while
larger pieces will smoke and take longer to catch fire.

4-5 inches
Use the fuel stoker to
break up spent ashes and
distribute coals evenly
across the fuel grate.
03 - Preheat
Once the fire is sustained, replace the rear door. Let
the oven preheat for 15 minutes, or until the pizza
stone reaches approximately 650°F. Use an infrared
thermometer to measure the very center of the pizza
stone.
Keep your Pi at optimum temperatures by adding 1-2
pieces of wood every 5 minutes. Temperature and
refueling intervals may vary depending on the size of
your wood.
Start with adding the minimum amount and increase
as needed.
