This section details how to operate your wood-fired pizza oven for optimal cooking results.

• Use only dry, seasoned hardwood such as oak, maple, or fruitwoods. Avoid softwoods, treated wood, or charcoal.
• Place small pieces of kindling and paper in the rear of the oven, on the refractory bricks.
• Light the kindling and gradually add larger pieces of wood as the fire establishes.
• Maintain a consistent fire to heat the oven to the desired temperature.

4.2 Njikwa okpomọkụ

• The built-in thermometer on the front of the oven displays the internal temperature.
• Adjust the chimney damper to control airflow and heat retention. Opening the damper increases airflow and temperature, while closing it reduces airflow and retains heat.
• The half-spherical dome design helps circulate heat evenly, cooking pizzas quickly in minutes.

4.3 Cooking with the Oven

• Once the oven reaches the desired temperature (typically 700-900°F / 370-480°C for pizza), push the embers to one side to create a cooking zone.
• Use the pizza peel to slide your pizza into the oven. The large mouth allows for easy placement and retrieval of various food items.
• Rotate the pizza periodically for even cooking. Pizzas typically cook in 1-3 minutes.
• The refractory tiles store heat, ensuring a crispy crust and evenly cooked toppings.
