We recommend an infrared (IR) thermometer for reading the temperature on the stone baking board. If
your Uuni 3 is not reaching top temperatures, here are a few things to consider:
• Your stone baking board should be dry before you cook (you can dry this in a conventional oven at
60˚C (140˚F) for 2 hours).
• If your Uuni 3 has been exposed to adverse weather conditions, including rain, it will take longer to
preheat.
• The grate in your burner may need to be brushed while cool to free up the air holes before lighting.
• Remove the chimney scoop/cap before you light and while you cook.
• The pellets that you are using must be dry and suitable for Uuni 3.
• Maintain a consistent pellet level as you cook (see page 14).
• Ensure that your Uuni door and hopper lid are kept on throughout your cook.
• Give your Uuni 3 time to reheat in between cooks.
When any wood starts to burn, there will be smoke produced until it reaches optimum temperatures: It is
normal for Uuni 3 to have a light layer of soot after use. If you are seeing excess smoke or soot, add pellets
gradually and make sure they are burning cleanly before cooking. If you continue to see dark smoke, it may
be that your pellets are not completely dry or that too many have been added at once. Remember to follow
the steps for lighting and maintaining temperatures in this guide (page 14).
While it is not necessary, you can wipe down the inside of your Uuni 3 with dry paper towels after it has
cooled.
