How do I cure my oven
Curing is very important
Its important to cure your oven because ovens is casted weekly and and water is strapped in the oven walls, to get rid of the moisture gradually you want to heat it up gradually and let it cool down to get rid of this moisture. If you heat your oven to fast the moisture will cause steam that will cause cracks
The best way to cure your oven is by building small, controlled, smoldering fires inside the dome. You can adjust how hot they burn based on their size and how much fuel you add to them.
Here’s the recommended day-by-day process of curing your oven:
Day One: Heat your oven to 140 °F / 60 °C for 4-5 hours
Day Two: Repeat at 215 °F / 100 °C for 4-5 hours
Day Three: Repeat at 300 °F / 150 °C for 4-5 hours
Day Four: Repeat at 400 °F / 200 °C for 4-5 hours
Day Five: Repeat at 480 °F / 250 °C for 4-5 hours
What about cracks?
Due to heating and cooling oven you would find hairline cracks may appear. Cracks won’t affect your oven performance and all refractory material do crack because of thermal expansion. If you are annoyed by the cracks you can can use roof membrane and sealer to close it.
Do & don’ts
Never wash your oven or oven floor, this will cause the oven to absorb moisture. Although your oven materials is rated for 1400 degrees Celsius this is not recommended because if would affect your oven life time. The oven maximum operating temperature is 400 degrees Celsius; you would never have the neat to go over this temperature in cooking anything.
Never throw would into your oven this might crack your oven walls.
The pizza oven wasn’t built to heat a room or making a boma fire, please take care of your oven like you would have taken care of your house hold oven.
Your oven isn’t built for structural applications so please handle with care its fragile.
How do I build a fire in my pizza oven?
To build a fire in your oven stack your wood in square in front of your oven adding your burning fuel in the middle, know put another piece of wood at the bottom and push your fire wood to the back of your oven.
Operating temperature for baking pizzas would be around 300 to 350 degrees Celsius. If the correct firewood is used your temperature would be ready to use withing 25 min after starting your fire. Cooking a pizza would be below 180 seconds. You would only use the oven whilst burning wood is in it to bake pizzas. For bread baking or roasting you would use a fire that have burned down and have nice coals to roast or bake with and by closing your oven door the heat would be retained longer and oven temperatures would be steady.
