8.1.3 Oven temperature adjustment
Keep in mind that the oven is only used for cooking
food. We can work in two different ways in order
to set the desired temperature: by changing the
quantity of wood burnt or by regulating the smoke
regulation valve.
In wood-burning cookers, this adjustment is
achieved on the outlet smoke regulation shutter
(- 8.2 -).
The oven is heated by using an adequate amount
of wood.
Keep in mind that the temperature increases with
Position "A" indicates the valve is completely open
whereas position "B" indicates the valve is closed.
We recommend YOU NEVER set the valve to the
fully open position during normal cooker operation;
this will ensure you maintain a good heat output and
avoid dispersion of the majority of combustion heat
in the discharge smoke.
The oven temperature can be checked by means
of the thermometer on the glass.
