You fill the oven with sand. The sand is not for insulation but to absorb the heat for a constant high temperature during use. The oven heats up in only 45 - 60 minutes. Once the oven is hot, you push the fire to the back and clean the tiles with the oven brush. You can easily make several pizzas because the sand keeps the oven warm. If necessary, you add some extra wood. If you want to make many pizzas or several dishes you should keep the fire burning at the rear.
For slow cooking you should keep the fire burning for 2 - 3 hours. The sand remains hot during several hours after the fire has gone out.
To fill the oven you need FILLING SAND. It's dry and easy to use. On sale in DIY stores. You need 3 bags of 25 kilos (40 liters in total).
Any other dry sand is also suitable.
Split the logs and make 25 centimeter pieces.
Light the fire with paper or firelighters. Make sure you have a good fire to properly heat the tiles and sand. Add new logs regularly in the middle of the oven. The flames come out of the oven. Burn for 45-60 minutes to thoroughly heat the sand and tiles.
Push back the fire and ash with the ember scraper. Push the heat shield in front of the fire. Clean the tiles with the included brush. Sprinkle the stones with a little flour. If the flour turns black you should wait. If the flower turns brown you can bake the first pizza or dish.
Turn the pizza or dish regularly. The pizza will be ready in 2-5 minutes.
The oven is heavy, but easy to move thanks to the wheeled frame. Of course, always let the oven cool and wipe it out completely so that no charcoal remains before you store the oven indoors.
VERY EASY: if the wind changes, you can turn the oven or roll it to the other side of the terrace. Remember that the oven is very hot, so use oven mitts and make sure the fire is not too high.
All steel parts of the oven are made of stainless steel. The side walls of the wooden version are not treated but can be stained or varnished. Create your own look.
The sand-filled oven is heavy but easy to move on the wheeled frame and can be stored indoors after coolind down and cleaning.
