Understanding Your Wood-Fired Oven

Step 1

A wood-fired oven operates by retaining heat from burning wood, allowing you to cook at high temperatures. This method imparts a unique flavor to your dishes, unmatched by conventional ovens.

Step 3

From lighting the fire to achieving the perfect temperature, learn the step-by-step process of using your wood-fired oven to create delicious meals.

Gather Your Materials

Start by collecting all necessary materials: fire bricks, refractory cement, sand, clay, and a sturdy base. Ensure you have the right tools, including a trowel, level, and mixing bucket.

Build the Base

Create a strong foundation using concrete blocks or bricks. This will support the weight of your oven and ensure stability.

Construct the Dome

Shape the oven dome with fire bricks, using a sand mold for guidance. Secure the bricks with refractory mortar, ensuring a tight fit for optimal heat retention.
