First Firing Instructions
6
To get you started, we would explain the ‘first firing’ so you cure your oven
perfectly. This will cure the paintwork, burn off any oil residue on the metal
and get rid of anywelding contaminants.
ɄStart with a small amount of dry kindling (Pine is fine) and newspaper or firelighters.
DON’T OVER DO IT! We know it’s tempting and you just want to cook now, but
just a small amount will do. When the fire has taken off add a few small pieces of dry
hardwood, like Red gum, no thicker than your wrist. Close the firebox door.
ɄIdeally your temperature will get no hotter than 200C. (Read the temperature gauge
inside the oven) Let this burn for 1 –2 hours.
ɄOnly add more wood when your fire has burnt to coals. Coals enable you to keep a
more even temperature.
ɄCool the oven overnight if possible or for a few hours andnow you’re ready to cook.
Note: Your Wildcat Wood Fired Pizza Oven will only take approximately 1/2 to 1 hour
to reach cooking temperature depending on which model you have.
