Smoking Your Food
7
ɄThe Wildcat oven give you the choice adding smoke to your cooking or cooking without it,
making it a very versatile Appliance. Simply open the adjustable, spring loaded vents on
both side the oven to add smoke.
ɄUse this cooking method for Roasts, Breads, Pizzas, Vegetables or Fish. If you want to add
flavored woodchips/sawdust to your firebox you also add another element to your cooking.
ɄSoak the chips/sawdust and place to the side of the coals for a delicious aroma. Close the
vents for cooking Scones, Buns, Cakes & Desserts. This method ensure the food flavor is
not tainted by the smoke.
ɄIf you want to cook a dessert straight after you have smoked food, close the smoking vents
and open the baffle for a few minutes to clear the smoke smell first.
ɄThe Wildcat oven has an adjustable Baffle plate inside the ceiling of the oven. This allows
for manual temperature & smoke control. The plate easily slide back to open & forward to
close.
ɄIf the temperature in your oven is too high for the food you are cooking simply open the
baffle plate to release some of the hot air. When you have reduced the temperature close the
baffle again.
ɄFitted to the front of the Wildcat oven is an Airwash. This is used to control the amount of
air getting into the firebox. A fire requires air & fuel (wood) to burn. The amount of air
regulates how fast the fire will burn.
ɄThe Airwash when open allows preheated air to enter the firebox via vents attached to a
channel in between the firebox and the front of the oven. This feeds the fire & make it burn
faster. This is good for getting the fire started and when adding more wood to the fire.
ɄClosing the Airwash reduces the amount of available air therefore reducing the speed at
which the fire burns. This is best when your temperature has been reached and you have
good hot coals burning.
