Care and safe use guidelines
POSITIONING AND SAFETY WARNINGS:
• DO NOT USE INDOORS. This product is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• DO NOT use this product in a confined space such as a tent, caravan, car, cellar, loft or on a boat.
• DO NOT use under any awnings, parasols or gazebos.
• NEVER leave a burning fire unattended.
• DANGER of carbon monoxide poisoning – NEVER light this product or let it smoulder or cool down in
confined spaces.
• ALWAYS observe all local fire restrictions. Apply common sense at all times and don't use when or where
there is any fire hazard risk. This unit cannot be used during a total fire ban.
• FIRE HAZARD – Hot embers may emit while in use.
• DO NOT attempt to light the oven until it has been properly assembled and all fasteners are fully tightened. Do
not use the oven if any parts are damaged or missing.
• DO NOT handle or move the oven whilst alight or still hot. Avoid touching the body of the oven when it
is in use or still hot.
• ALWAYS inspect the unit prior to use for fatigue and damage – repair or replace as and
when necessary.
• ALWAYS keep the oven least 2 meters away from anything combustible including walls, fences, poles,
ceilings, trees, shrubs, foliage, etc. when it is in use or still hot. Make sure there is nothing above the
oven but sky. Ensure the oven is positioned on permanent, flat, level, heat resistant surface away from
flammable items. DO NOT use this oven on decking or any other flammable surfaces such as dry
grass, woodchips, leaves or decorative bark.
• ALWAYS allow the unit to cool down completely before moving or storing.
• WARNING: This oven is very well insulated for added safety, however when the oven is in use, certain
parts like the flue and front door can get VERY HOT! Wear insulated cooking gloves to protect
your hands.
• ALWAYS keep children and pets at a safe distance from the oven when in use.
• DO NOT use this oven as a furnace.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL:
• WARNING – DO NOT use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for
lighting, relighting or in the vicinity of the oven.
• ONLY suitable for use with untreated wood, logs or charcoal.
• NEVER use 'FIRE LOGS' or any artificial wood logs! These may be toxic and cause the unit to emit
black smoke. Additionally, they are designed to burn at much hotter temperatures than real hard
wood, so can damage the unit.
• NEVER burn any wood or timber that has been treated, painted or processed in any way. The resulting
fumes can be deadly.
• ONLY use woods when you are sure of the source. Assume that sawn or milled timber has been
chemically treated and do not use it. Use only REAL HARD WOOD in this wood-fired oven.
The woods that work best are hardwoods, not softwood. The best types of hardwood to get are:
REDGUM, JARRAH, BLUE GUM, MALLEE as they are properly dried and not freshly cut. If the wood is too wet or
‘green’ then the smoke can give the food unpleasant flavours.
Fruit and Nut tree woods like APPLE, PEAR, PLUM, PEACH, MACADAMIA, ALMOND, and WALNUT are great
and add interesting smoky flavours to use but can struggle to reach high enough temperatures for Pizzas. If you
can get some, try using woods like: OLIVE WOOD, ASH WOOD, MAPLE WOOD, OAKWOOD, BEECH AND
BIRCH WOOD. You can also use WHITE and YELLOW PINE and WHITE CEDAR, but DO NOT use RED PINE
as it causes food to have an unpleasant flavour.
It is OK to use barbeque charcoal but this oven will burn this fuel quickly and make it a very expensive fuel option.
NEVER use shrubs and bushes such as Oleander, as some of these can give off extremely toxic fumes.
FIRST TIME USE ONLY:
For the first firing of the oven only, its best to have a low fire with the door aside for around 1 hour, then let the
oven cool. This will “cure” the oven ready for use.

Care and safe use guidelines
LIGHTING AND CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE:
• Place untreated wood or charcoal centrally into the fuel area. Do not initially use more than 3kg charcoal or 2
or 3 small logs. Fully open the flue damper.
• Place rolled up newspaper and kindling in with the fuel and light carefully. Leave the door off.
• Allow the fuel to catch alight and burn very hot for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
• Do not overload the oven with fuel only a couple of small logs or 3kg charcoal is sufficient.
• When the fire starts to catch there may be an excess of smoke coming from the unit. This is the sap in the
wood burning. Wait for the smoke to lessen and for the wood to burn on its own before cooking food.
• Once the fuel starts to ash over, use a fire shovel to push the fuel and all embers to the back of the oven.
• Always use heat resistant gloves during the handling process and when refuelling.
• Three things interact to control the oven temperature:
• The amount of fuel. Always start with less fuel than you expect necessary, and add small amounts more if
necessary. If there is too much or too little fuel, the other two temperature controls simply will not work.
• The door adjustable vent controls the airflow to the fire. More open = more air = a hotter fire. Less open = less
air = less fire. If there is a lot of fuel in the firebox, close the adjustable vent a little to allow better control over
the temperature. As the fuel runs low, opening the adjustable vent a little allows better control over the
temperature.
• The flue damper can be used to restrict the exhaust flow from the chimney. If the door adjustable vent is set
appropriately for the current fire level, then the flue damper will give you fine tuning control over
the temperature.
As a rough guide based on 2 or 3 hardwood logs, setting should be:
For lighting:
Flue damper fully open, adjustable door removed.
For Roasting and Baking:
Flue damper ½ open, adjustable door vent fully open, adjust flue damper to target 200C (400F).
For Pizza:
Flue damper ½ open, door removed, adjust flue damper to target 300C (600F).
• You will be able to manage the temperature of your oven using the flue damper and the adjustable door vent.
You can experiment with this until you have found the ideal cooking temperature for you.
• When ready to cook, remove the door. It is best to use a pizza peel to push the burning fuel to the back of the
oven. Use the peel to scrape any embers and ash towards the back of the oven as well.
• When cooking pizza, traditionally its placed directly onto the firebricks, though it is OK to use an additional
pizza stone or pizza tray if you prefer. When cooking meat, place the meat on a baking tray or rack before
placing the tray into the oven.
NOTE: There is no exact science to the amount of logs to use to reach the perfect temperature, since each type
of log varies in size, dryness and maximum temperature capacity. Generally speaking, 2 large Redgum logs
should cause the oven to reach around 200 to 300 degrees Celsius (400 to 600F), while other logs such as olive
or almond wood may require more logs and more time to reach similar temperatures. Experiment with blending
starting with 2 logs and then adding a 3rd later on if it becomes necessary to get the oven to around 300C (600F).
If the temperature begins to reach above 350C (650F), you should close the flue vent and the door to allow the
fire to slow down and the temperature to drop.
NOTE: DO NOT overload the oven. Do not initially use more than 3kg charcoal or 2 or 3 small logs.

Care and safe use guidelines
HOW TO COOK PERFECT PIZZA:
NOTE: Depending on the topping, and how thick and large the pizza, the longer the cooking will take. Also, some
dough recipes cook faster or slower than others, depending on the density and make-up of the dough. You may
want to test an experimental pizza first. Learning is all part of the fun.
• Adjust the temperature as outlined above for Pizza. Once the fire has been burning for approximately 15-20
minutes, you should notice the temperature gauge start to rise into optimal Pizza cooking temperatures
around 300C (600F).
• Now that your oven is at the right temperature, make sure you pizza peel has plenty of flour under the pizza
so that the pizza can slide easily off the peel.
• Once you see it can slide easily, quickly slide your pizza on to the firebricks. When cooking pizzas it is recom
mended that you fit the door in place.
• After 60 to 90 seconds, check that the dough edges start to rise and take crust form and then with your pizza
peel, lift and rotate the pizza to ensure even cooking.
• Be sure to check the underside of the pizza for colour so it does not burn or stick to the bricks. After 60
seconds repeat the above step, checking the underside and top of the pizza to desired doneness.
• After about another 90 seconds, check on the pizza to determine how much longer you wish to cook it. We
recommend lifting and shifting the pizza around using a pizza peel to allow it to cook evenly. When cooked to
your desired perfection, use the pizza peel to take the pizza out of the oven. Repeat these steps to make
more pizzas.
NOTE: Check the temperature gauge between pizzas and open and adjust the flue damper as required to control
temperatures. Also, move the wood to keep temperature going. If temperatures drop below 250C (500F), you can
add more wood.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Because this unit reaches very high temperatures, it can take as little as 60 seconds to 3 minutes for pizza or
other foods to cook (its much faster than traditional ovens) so when first using this oven, you will need to
check on the food frequently to ensure that it does not overcook or burn. Optimal cooking times and
temperatures will vary depending on the thickness, size, and recipe of dough used as well as the wood.
• Certain types of dough are meant to cook at lower temperatures, such as any dough that is made of
Semolina flour.
• When cooking pizza, it is advisable to use a long pizza peel. Make sure you pizza has flour under it so it will
not stick to the pizza peel or the pizza stone.
• High heat cooks the best pizza. Please use cooking gloves that are made to withstand high temperatures.
When taking items such as hot pans out of the oven, the high heat may damage the delicate material of
normal oven gloves, so make sure you have good quality insulated gloves.
TIPS TO BAKE, ROAST AND COOK OTHER FOODS:
• Follow the steps above to light and control the temperature of the oven. Follow normal recipe temperatures for
baking and roasting instead of high temperatures for perfect pizza by letting the fire die down and adding small
pieces of wood (only if required to maintain temperature).
• When cooking meat, please place on a cooking tray before putting into the oven. You can put the following
cookware and/or bakeware materials inside the oven, directly on the stone: Stainless steel and aluminium
cookware/bakeware (as long as there is no plastic on handle or lid), cast iron cookware/bakeware with metal
handles, enamel coated cookware/bakeware with metal handles, high temperature clayware such as
terracotta. Please note cookware or bakeware with Bakelite or phenolic handles can melt.
• It is strongly advised that a pizza peel is used together with insulated cooking gloves to remove hot items from
the oven.
• When cooking food like eggplant parmigiana with cheese on top or things that need to cook longer, put
aluminium foil with holes in so the smoke flavour still reaches the food but the cheese does not burn. You may
remove the foil for the last few minutes of cooking so the top of your food can still brown.
• As the oven gets very hot, it is a good idea when taking food out to set it on an insulated table near the oven
and allow it to cool a little before bringing into the house.
• The oven is also great for cooking; Casseroles, Fish, Parmigiana, Vegetable dishes, Frittatas, Meats, Poultry
and much more!

Care and safe use guidelines
• The inside of the oven will need little maintenance as the woodsmoke forms a protective layer on the
steel. You can clean the inside of the oven if required with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Mostly it will
“self-clean” from the heat of the fire.
• You don’t need to clean the fire bricks very often. Firing the oven up a bit higher without food inside will
do the cleaning for you.
• The oven will start to develop surface rust when placed outdoors and especially after the first use. This is
to be expected and is not a product fault. To prevent surface rust, the outside of the oven needs to be regularly
oiled. Firstly, remove ordinary stains with mild soap and warm water, allow to dry and then apply a light coating
of vegetable oil.
• The paint finish will deteriorate over time but can be maintained by cleaning with a wire brush and repainting
with high temperature paint which is available at your local Barbeques Galore store.
• The unit may be left outside all year if a cover is used to help protect it from bad weather; however it is recom
mended to store in a garage or shed. If using a cover, ALWAYS ensure the unit has completely cooled before
covering. Placing a couple of sponges between the cover and the oven will help promote ventilation and
avoid mould.
• Periodically recheck that all fasteners are properly tightened.
