1. Quick'guide'on'getting'started''
Adjusting the shutter: There is an adjustable shutter at the left side (bottom) of the front box. This
is used to regulate airflow to achieve optimum & even heat from the burner. Please see the video
below https://youtu.be/bh-ulCvDaks
Curing the Clay
Application of the Tandoor Oil: 1 x small jar of oil is provided with the tandoor, please add plain
yogurt to it in equal amount and apply it on the clay walls with a cloth or paint brush. Let it dry for
an hour and proceed with the first burn
First Burn: This is the most important step in curing/baking the clay, this should be followed
properly as per instructions below for long life of the clay liner
With lid on, the first burn should be done on low gas (9 o’clock position of knob) for approx. 8-10
hours.
After the first burn set the burner to medium gas (11 o’clock position of knob) on same day or the
next day and let it burn for another 8-10 hours.
Finally the tandoor burner should be set on high gas (12 o’clock position of knob) for another 8-10
hours on the same day or the next day.
The clay walls will turn terracotta red after firing the tandoor for approx 25-30 hours after which the
tandoor will be ready for cooking
Salt water wipe: This is to be done every other day before starting the tandoor or whenever the
nan/roti is not sticking properly to the clay walls or the dough gets stuck on the clay walls. Put 3-4
table spoons of salt in glass of water, apply it on the clay walls with a piece of cotton cloth after
squeezing out the excess water.
