OVEN VENTING
THIS MODEL MUST BE VENTED AS A SOLID FUEL APPLIANCE
The following are the manufacturer’s recommendations for venting the Wood Stone MH (Mountain Home) “-W” (wood-
fired) ovens� It is never appropriate to use “B vent” in any part of an exhaust system connected to a Wood Stone oven�
All duct material must be manufactured to the specifications of a grease duct� This is a wood-fired oven and must be
vented as a solid fuel piece of equipment� Due to the possibility of sparks entering the system, exhaust systems serving
solid fuel equipment must be vented separately from other non-solid fuel equipment� The duct serving this oven should
be inspected at least twice a month during the first two months of operation to establish rate of creosote buildup and
necessary cleaning schedule� Typically, we recommend monthly cleaning for all solid fuel ovens� Submit your venting
plans to your local authorities before proceeding with your installation, as there may be additional requirements in your
area�
There are two venting options�
VENTING OPTION 1
Direct Connection: A listed building heating appliance chimney, also listed as a grease duct as described in NFPA 96,
connected directly to the oven flue collar and provided with a power ventilator listed for restaurant appliance exhaust�
The power ventilator should be rated for a minimum of 450 °F� Wood Stone does not recommend the use of an in-line
fan� A field built grease duct, constructed and installed to the specifications of a grease duct as detailed in NFPA 96 or
the International Mechanical Code, may also be used�
A static pressure of -0�14 inches water column is necessary at the oven flue collar to ensure that flue gas temperatures
do not exceed 450 °F at the fan inlet� This measurement may be taken by inserting the probe of the magnahelic gauge
through the oven doorway, upwards to the oven flue collar� NOTE: Double door ovens (models ending in -DD), have two
flue collars—both must be connected and a static pressure of -0�14 inches must be maintained at each collar� See table
below for CFM required to attain the specified static pressure� Solid fuel burning ovens must be vented separately from
non-solid fuel burning equipment�
CFM REQUIREMENTS
Model CFM required
WS-MH-4-W 420
WS-MH-5-W 500
WS-MH-6-W 500

OVEN VENTING
VENTING OPTION 2
A Listed Type 1 exhaust hood (or one that is constructed and installed in accordance with all relevant Local and
National Codes)� Wood Stone offers eyebrow-type hoods designed specifically for Wood Stone ovens� See specification
sheet on ventilators for Wood Stone ovens�
Note that the notch of the hood is even with the front edge of the oven� The hood should be installed in accordance with
the hood manufacturer’s instructions, and with the Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commerical
Cooking Operations, NFPA 96 and/or the applicable local and national codes�
Solid fuel burning ovens must be vented separately from non-solid fuel burning equipment. Due to the
possibility of sparks entering the duct, exhaust systems serving solid fuel equipment MUST NOT be combined
with exhaust systems serving other non-solid fuel equipment. This model is rated as solid fuel equipment and
must be vented as such.
It is never appropriate to use “B vent” in any part of an exhaust system connected to a Wood Stone oven� All ducting
material must be manufactured to the specifications of a grease duct�
VERY IMPORTANT!
WOOD STONE RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED MECHANICAL ENGINEER
AND SUBMIT YOUR VENTING PLANS TO LOCAL CODE AUTHORITIES
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION.
NOTE: If your MH-5, MH-6 or MH-7 oven is ordered from Wood Stone without a hood, it will have a round flue adapter
installed to facilitate direct connection to a round duct� If the oven is to be installed under a hood, it MAY be necessary
to remove the round adapter to properly position the hood� This is done by removing the screws that attach the adapter
to the oven� Please contact Wood Stone if you have any questions�

MANTLE MOUNTING
The initial steps are the same for mounting either a stainless mantle or a bracket for a granite mantle�
INSTALLATION OF GRANITE
After completing the steps outlined above, apply a generous amount of silicone adhesive (provided) to the top of the steel
mantle bracket�
Put the stone in place and apply light
pressure to seat it properly� Make sure
that the angle in the granite lines up with
the angle in the bracket� Allow the sealant
to set for several hours before filling any
gap between the stone slab and the
metal bracket with the silicone sealant
(provided)� Clean up any sealant before
it dries�
1. Begin by installing the threaded studs
into the clip nuts below the oven
doorway (3 or 4 turns is sufficient)�
2. Position the mantle (or bracket) on the
oven, making sure the rear flange rests
on the floor of the oven (you may need
an extra pair of hands)�
3. Place one stainless steel washer and a
cap nut onto each stud� Tighten the cap
nuts so the mantle is securely held in
place�
4. Using the high temperature silicone
(provided), fill any gaps between the
oven hearth and the mantle flange�
Gaps between the mantle flange and
the stainless steel doorway frame
may also need to be filled with a small
amount of the silicone sealant� Clean
up any sealant before it dries�

INITIAL START-UP
READ BEFORE BUILDING FIRST FIRE
Your oven was cured at the factory� However in the course of shipment, storage on site, etc� the ceramic materials
will have absorbed moisture� It is critical that the Initial Oven Start-up Procedure below be followed to ensure that this
moisture is driven from the ceramic in a controlled fashion� This will minimize cracking and prevent damage to the oven
that could otherwise occur by bringing the oven to temperature rapidly the first time it is used� This Initial Oven Start-up
procedure need only be followed the first time the oven is fired and/or if the oven has not been used for an extended
period of time�
DAY ONE
1. Build a small kindling fire of newspaper and 5–7 lbs� of heavy, hard wood� We suggest using a “Fire Starter”
(paraffin/sawdust stick) to start the fire� Begin with (3) small pieces of wood (about 1–3" diameter and 14–16" in
length)� Build the fire directly on the floor of the oven against the side or back of the dome� The fire should be built
far enough inside and of a size that doesn’t permit the flame to go up the flue� Slowly bring the oven temperature up
to 300–400 °F� Maintain this fire for 4–5 hours�
2. Once the oven temperature has reached 300–400 °F, increase the oven temperature by increasing the size and
amount of wood being used� Based on what is already burning, gradually increase the amount of wood per hour� This
will bring the oven temperature up to 500–550 °F�
NOTE: THE MORE WOOD ADDED TO THE FIRE, THE HOTTER THE OVEN WILL GET.
It is recommended that on the first day of heat-up, the oven does not exceed 550 °F within the first 8 hours� If your goal
is to cook at higher temperatures, the oven should only be brought up to 550 °F on day one� Once the oven has reached
the 550 °F, more wood may be added to the fire as necessary to bring the oven to the desired operating temperature�
The amount of wood required to bring the oven to the specified temperatures may vary depending on the type and quality
of the wood� Never use any type of flammable liquid or fuel to start a fire in a Wood Stone oven. Doing so could
cause a dangerous situation and/or damage to the oven ceramic.
DURING THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF OPERATION, SMALL AMOUNTS OF WATER MAY APPEAR DRIPPING
FROM THE OVEN. THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL STOP WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• One pound of properly cured, heavy, hardwood produces the potential of 6,500 BTU/hr�
• The temperature sensor (thermocouple) is located at the center of the floor,one inch under the surface�The thermocouple
will give false readings if the fire is placed on top of it�
• If at anytime the oven is allowed to cool to room temperature for an extended period of time, especially outdoor
installations, this heat-up procedure will need to be repeated to avoid thermal shocking of the refractory stone which
can cause excessive cracking�
• Small “crazing” cracks will occur with normal heating and cooling� They will not effect the performance or durability of
the oven� If cracks of 1/8" or more develop, contact Wood Stone for evaluation�
DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY LIQUIDS ONTO THE OVEN DECK OR INTO THE OVEN INTERIOR AS THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE CERAMIC AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

MANAGING THE OVEN FIRE
THE FIRE
Use only seasoned hardwoods with a moisture content of 20% or less� Use of soft woods, such as pine, cedar, hemlock
etc�, and wet or “green” wood, will cause a build-up of residue throughout the exhaust system� (See the FUELWOOD
FACTS section later in this manual, or consult factory for information on what types of wood can be used for oven fuel�)
The fire should be ignited a couple of hours before the oven needs to be at cooking temperature, and can be located
practically anywhere in the oven� Once the oven is being used daily, the fire can be ignited using still glowing coals from
the previous day’s fire� The oven is heated more evenly and effectively by the fire positioned on the side rather than in
the rear of the oven� Adding about 5–7 lbs� of wood per hour should bring the oven temperature up about 100 °F per
hour (this will vary slightly depending on the type and moisture content of the wood and the size of the oven)� The floor
temperature is indicated by the digital thermometer and should not exceed 850 °F� Once the desired temperature is
reached, maintain it by addition of wood as needed� Do not toss or throw wood against back or side walls of oven—this
may void the warranty� At the end of the work day, put removable Night Heat Retention Door(s) into door opening to hold
heat in the oven overnight�
MANAGING THE FIRE / TEMPERATURE
These suggestions will normally produce an oven floor temperature of 500–600 °F� If you need to achieve higher
temperatures, use a little more wood� For lower temperatures use a little less wood�
4' oven: Maintain 1 log with 6–10" of open flame working on the coal bed�
5' and 6' ovens: Maintain 1–1½ logs with 8–12" of open flame working on the coal bed�
7' oven: Maintain 1½–2 logs with 8–14" of open flame working on the coal bed�
DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS OVEN. IF FLAMES ARE SPILLING OUT OF THE DOOR OPENING, OR IF OVEN FLOOR
TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 850 °F, THEN YOU ARE OVER-FIRING THE OVEN.
ASH DISPOSAL: At the start of the following work day, push glowing coals out of the ash pile with 8" utility peel�
Remove ash with ash shovel, leaving live coals to start the day’s fire� Place ashes into metal container with a tight-fitting
lid� The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, a safe distance from
all combustible materials pending final disposal� They should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled� Check with your dealer about Wood Stone’s Ash Dolly�
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
freshen a fire in this oven� Keep all such liquids away from the oven while it is in use�
DO NOT USE PRESSED WOOD PRODUCTS IN WOOD STONE FOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT, AS THEY MAY
DAMAGE THE CERAMICS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
REMOVAL OF CREOSOTE AND SOOT
As with all commercial cooking equipment exhaust systems, a regular inspection and cleaning schedule is needed to
prevent the possibility of a hood or duct fire� The frequency of inspection and cleaning will depend on hours of use and
type and quality of wood used as fuel� Only use hardwood species dried to a moisture content of 20% or less� See the
FUELWOOD FACTS section at the end of this manual�
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote� The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool oven flue of a slow-burning fire� As a result, creosote
residue accumulates in the duct� When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire�
The duct serving this oven should be inspected at least twice a month during the first two months of operation to
establish rate of creosote buildup and necessary cleaning schedule� If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a flue fire� Typically we recommend cleaning the duct system at least monthly for all solid
fuel equipment�
The interior floor and dome of the oven do not require creosote or soot removal. The oven flue and exhaust
system will require inspection and cleaning. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned per the
manufacturer’s and or local code official’s recommendations.Wood Stone recommends cleaning and inspection
at least monthly on any ventilation system serving solid fuel equipment.
DISPOSE OF ASH PER THE FOLLOWING:
1. Place ashes into a metal container with a tight fitting lid�
2. Place the closed container of ashes on a non-combustible floor or on the ground�
3. Place the closed container of ashes well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal�
4. Retain the ashes in the closed container until all the cinders have thoroughly cooled� Ashes can then be disposed
of safely�
DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY LIQUIDS ONTO THE OVEN DECK OR INTO THE OVEN INTERIOR AS THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE CERAMIC AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Wood Stone’s stainless steel ash shovel and double compart-
ment ash disposal system offer a safe and convenient way
to dispose of ash� Specification sheets may be viewed on the
Wood Stone website under Tools & Accessories
