Your wood-fired oven is made from heat-resistant clay, but the water used to form the clay must be cooked out before
your oven can be put into use. This process is called curing. The first step involves drying the water out of the clay and the
second is tempering the clay. This is achieved by lighting several small fires inside the oven, over a period of one to three
days, gradually increasing the oven temperature.
We recommend a total of 6 to 8 hours of curing, starting at a temperature of 50°C and increasing the temperature at
approximately 25°C per hour (use the thermometer in the stand provided). This can be done either in one long burn or
over two to three days. Start with a small kindling fire and slowly build up to a bigger fire using one or two small logs,
approximately 2.5cm wide and 30cm long.
Although this is unlikely to happen, make sure you do not overheat the oven, as it can cause cracks in the components.
(Don’t worry if small hairline cracks appear in the surface of the clay – this is completely normal.)
Simple steps to curing your wood-fired oven:
Place a firelighter in the centre of the round part of the oven floor and stack small pieces of kindling around it to form
a tower (see image on following page).
Light the fire.
Once the kindling has caught fire, slowly add small pieces of hardwood logs.
The curing fire should be kept alight for at least three hours on the first day and for a longer period on the second day.
Generally you will only need to cure your oven once. If, however the oven hasn’t been used for a long period or
has become wet, it is advisable to start with a smaller fire 3 to 4 hours beforehand to warm up the oven before you
establish a large hot fire.
4. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR OVEN
You do not need to clean the oven with cleaning products because the high temperatures will kill any germs and bac-
teria. Any food spillages will simply be burnt to ashes, which you can sweep out later.
After each use, or when ash has built up too much, allow the ash to cool then sweep it out of the oven with a metal
brush into a suitable metal container. Afterwards, you can use the cooled ash as a fertilizer for your garden.
Never throw water into the oven as this could damage its components.
It’s a good idea to clean the flue pipe every now and then. Use a brush to loosen any soot stuck inside the pipe or
underneath the rain cap.
Metal components can be resprayed with heat-resistant paint, e.g. BBQ paint available at DIY stores.
