To increase oven temperatures, refuel the cooker using smaller or drier logs, and
increase the burning rate of the fuel by use of the air control, and regulate to
the desired temperature.
The cookers are equipped with a wire shelf which can be set to the desired
height on the side bricks in the firebox to cook over the embers. The shelf in the
Bakeheart oven has anti-pull out stops on the ends to prevent it from being
pulled out inadvertently; to remove a shelf, pull forward until the stop is
reached, then lift at the front and pull out of the oven. Use reverse procedure
to refit. If the shelves pull straight out then they are in back to front.
The temperature gauge on the oven door provides an indication of the oven
temperature. It should be noted however that since the gauge is attached to the
door, the indicated temperature will drop if the door is left open for a prolonged
period. Once the door is closed the dial will come back up to temperature after
a short delay.
WARNING
If any part of the stove begins to glow it is being over fired. Stop use
immediately and allow to cool before further use.
EXTENDED WOODBURNING
This appliance has not been certified as a slow combustion stove. Loading a large
amount of wood into the cooking stove all at once will reduce the temperature
inside. If the temperature is too low, the gases given off from the wood will be
too low to combust, resulting in a lot of smoke which will cover the inside of the
cooking stove, including the glass, with soot.
In order to avoid adverse combustion conditions it is a good idea to increase the
temperature of the cooking stove before loading more wood by further opening
the air control. Load the wood and leave the air control open until the moisture
is driven out of the wood and the cooking stove is up to an efficient operating
temperature. The air control and the bolster lid can then be closed to hold the
temperature of the cooking stove.
