Woody Oven - Instructions

Step 1 - Legs

Fold out your oven legs. Ensure you fully extend the legs.

Find a stable surface for your Woody Oven, the surface cannot be affected by heat i.e plastic, laminated wood.

Step 2 - Pizza Stone

Your pizza stone sits inside the oven in the square recess.

Before using your oven, it is essential to cure your stone, this is done by getting your oven up to maximum temperature and allowing your oven to fully cool. (We explain this process and how to do this later)

Step 3 - Attach Your Chimney

To attach your chimney, twist and screw it to the opening at the top of the oven. There are two grooves - ensure these align. Make a clockwise twist of around 2cm. 

Step 4 - Attaching Your Hopper

Not required if using a gas attachment.

4.1 Attach the handle to your hopper (this is the small wooden handle) Thread it through the slot and secure on the inside of the hopper flap with the nut/ screw provided.

4.2 Attach your hopper with the 4 screws provided - these are in your Woody tool kit. Secure the bolts firmly with the provided allen key. Be mindful not to over-tighten. 

Check your hopper flap mechanism after securing - this should open freely with minimal force.

Step 5 - Set Up Your Fuel Tray

Not required if using gas attachment.

To attach the wooden handle to your fuel tray, thread the handle through the slot and secure on the inside of the fuel tray with the spanner provided. Slide the pellet tray into the rear opening of the oven - You will need to remove the tray when adding your fuels.

Step 6 - Setting Up Your Door

6.1 Handle: Insert the metal L bracket through the slot in the door and attach the separate wooden handle. The screws for the wooden handle come pre-inserted into the handle and will need to be removed before re-attaching - use the allen key provided.

Secure the handle firmly with the bolt / screw provided (this is already in the door)

6.2 Thermometer: On the rear of the thermometer is a nut which is pre-threaded onto the rear of the thermometer probe - you will need to un-thread this, place the thermometer prong through the hole in the door, re-thread the bolt to secure the thermometer.

Place the door on the oven body - Slot the door underneath the top catch and place the bottom of the door on the bottom shelf.

Step 7 - Assemble Your Peel

Use the 3 bolts and the allen key provided to attach the handle to the peel - the nuts are pre-installed into the handle.

Step 1 - Blanking Plate

Remove your hopper and screw on the blanking plate - This is a rectangular piece of stainless steel with 4 holes in each corner. The blanking plate is the same dimensions as the hopper. Use the 4 x bolts from the hopper to attach the blanking plate.

Do not over tighten your blanking plate - excess heat combined with over tightening can cause your bolts to seize.

Step 2 - Installing Your Gas Attachment

Removing your fuel tray will leave a rectangular void in the rear of the oven, the gas attachment will slot into this space. Removing the fuel tray will also reveal two additional bolt-holes at the rear of the oven.

Firmly secure your gas attachment with the bolts provided, threading through the gas attachment via the rear of the oven. The gas attachment bolts come supplied with your Woody Oven.

Do not over tighten your gas attachment as excess heat combined with over tightening can cause your bolts to seize.

Step 3 - Adding Gas Hose

Attach the gas tube provided to your gas attachment inlet using the jubilee clips provided. Attach the opposing end of the tube to the gas regulator provided. - Attach your gas regulator to your gas bottle. - Woody Oven operates on Propane or Butane Gas.   

Using Wood Pellets, Kindling & Charcoal

Fill the Woody Oven fuel tray with a layer of your chosen fuel filling the entire fuel tray but not exceeding the upper edge - You will need to be able to slide this into opening at the rear of the oven.

When using pellets you will need to use the pellet tray. When using bulkier fuels like kindling and charcoal this should be removed. Use firelighters to ignite your fuel.

It is essential to use clean, virgin wood. Treated wood or accelerants can cause oily black deposits on the inside of your oven - this will require significant cleaning and could potentially cause permanent damage to the oven.

Use the hopper to top up fuel little and often. You want to maintain a roaring flame which extends the ceiling of the oven.

Using A Gas Attachment

Ensure the oven door is off when igniting a gas attachment.

Connect the gas regulator to your gas bottle using the regulator and hose provided.

• In the UK we provide a push fit type connector with a lever valve most commonly used with patio gas.
• In the US and areas of Europe we provide a screw type gas regulator most commonly used with propane gas bottles.

To ignite the gas attachment press the knob in and rotate left until you hear the ignition. If the gas attachment fails to ignite repeat rotating the knob and clicking the ignition until you have flames.

The gas attachment offers consistent intense heat. Use the door in-between cooking a pizza to build up and maintain heat.

Step 1 - Chimney, Door & Rear

Remove your fuel tray or gas attachment. The fuel tray can be stored inside the oven. Remove the chimney and store it in its cover. Insert the chimney bag inside the oven.

Remove the door and turn it inside out, with the handle going inside the oven.
