WOODFIRED CONCEPTS

PORTUGUESE TRADITIONAL BRICK OVENS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

Dear customer, you have made an amazing choice in acquiring a very unique and genuine

Mediterranean Wood Fired Oven which will be a pleasure to use and provide you with many fantastic

meals and fun for many years to come.

There is nothing quite like a nice hot pizza or a roast cooked in a wood fired oven.

These Ovens are 100% handmade using the oldest traditional Mediterranean methods allied with the

latest finishing products. The design, construction and materials used allow these ovens to reach

cooking temperatures of over 350°C in under an hour under normal conditions using quality wood.

They have outstanding heat retention and are very economical to use at about 3kgs of wood per hour.

Using a wood fired oven for cooking is not an exact science so you will need to “get to know” your

oven and its capabilities by experimenting a little initially but the effort will be well worth it.

IMPORTANT NOTE – CURING YOUR OVEN

Your Oven is freshly constructed from masonry materials and in order to work efficiently and minimize

cracking of the outer shell, it needs to be dried out slowly and thoroughly (cured) over a minimum

period of 5 days. Cracking occurs when the oven is fired at a very high temperature if it is not dried out

thoroughly because of rapid expansion of steam within the masonry so, to use your oven efficiently

and keep it in top condition it is important to follow these instructions carefully. Failure to cure your oven

correctly will invalidate your warranty.

CURING YOUR OVEN

Day 1, Light a small fire in the middle of the oven with the door left open, using small pieces of dry

wood and keep it going for several hours if possible, but not exceeding 60°C

Day 2, Repeat process with a larger fire not exceeding 100°C

Day 3, Repeat process increasing the temperature up to 150°C

Day 4, Repeat process increasing the temperature up to 200°C

Day 5, Repeat process increasing the temperature up to 250°C

Please look at the You tube link below for a better understanding of the curing process

Close the oven door at the end of each firing session to allow the oven to cool slowly overnight

NOTE

It is very important that the recommended temperature is not exceeded during the first 2 days of curing.

For accuracy you will need to use a laser digital thermometer (readily available on Trademe).

Stand approximately 1.5m in front of the oven and point the laser beam inside the oven

and away from the flames to get a better reading of the surrounding temperature.

If in doubt, it is best to keep the fire smaller rather than larger over a longer period.

Note. If your oven is not kept under cover and it is not being used for long periods during cold and wet

months, it will absorb moisture and will need to be dried out again by repeating the process from

Day 3 onwards, a couple of days before cooking.
