The Wood Fired Oven Chef

The Wood Fired Oven Chef

I’m passionate about using the Wood Fired Oven so I wanted to share what I have learned with others who are as enthusiastic as I am, and with to those who wish to learn and experience the joys of wood fired cooking. Most of it I’ve learned by experience, through successes and failures, and helpful books and the wealth of information online. Every time I use the oven I’m learning something new, so I look forward to hearing from anyone who has their own experiences to share.

    Great video and tasty pita. For those without pastry wands, I found that I can substitute brand new unsharpened pencils and place them on either side of the dough. They are exactly 1/4 inches thick and work quite well.

    Best to freeze them after you have balled them up, and put them separately in a bag or container. Take out as many as you need and let them thaw and reproof before using. They should be good for a couple of months in the freezer.

    I only found your channel a week ago (it’s now July 2024 and, supposedly Summer in the UK) and am watching every video having subscribed. I’ve had an oven for several years but never got anywhere near your depth of knowledge and skill in producing all these dishes. Best of all, you don’t just show the results but explain every detail of how to get there. Add to the knowledge you are giving is the sheer beauty of your videos. Long may they continue. But, please slow down and don’t stress so much!

I look forward to hearing about your cooking adventures. Enjoy the Summer! Clive

    I have been using a wood fired oven for ages now. Last night for the first time, I encountered a new problem. The fire wouldnt get up to temperature. I started it at the back. Moved it to the right and finally to the left. The dome was starting to clear but when I moved it to the left, the temperature started to come down. Usually it goes up to 800/900f at he dome. It topped at 550f and dropped to 450f. I couldnt understand it.

    I think it is important to mention that acids like citrus juice, wine, vinegar, tomatoes, etc. cannot be used with carbon steel or cast iron. They will strip the seasoning off and react with the iron creating a very metallic smell and taste. Love this video.

    Hey Clive, I've had a Wood fired Oven for about 6 years, my Pizza' cookery has been hit and miss (think Calzone, burnt offerings and al dente raw) I've only tried to cook few other things such as some breads and a lamb dish), a work colleague at my new job mentioned this site, how relaxed, valuable and interesting it was... of course didn't think I'd learn that much... How much I have learned so far in an hours worth of jaw open compulsive viewing. You don't know what you don't know, but here ,that knowledge is delivered smoothly, without patronising, with a genuine "love" of what you are doing. I'm off to find an Andiron, wire brush as my horse hair ones tend to light up and I never thought about a wire brush, and boot the oven up in the afternoon for an evening do and not just for one hour before guests arrive..... I have the IR temp reader (same as yours!) but never get the floor hot enough... so hopefully a longer burn will work better and get that floor hot hot hot!... I don't think my oven is as optimal (and not as large as this lol) in design but it's the right shape, it's all about the burn isn't it, and thinking back, when it was a hit, was when it had been lit for longer..... So many thanks indeed... and for additional joy, all I need to do is move to a Mediterranean location with a pool to make it perfect, deepest darkest England weather is the bigger challenge, my 60th is in August, and we're having some friends around.... perhaps there are a few ideas off the whole cookery experience here, and not just Pizza!

    That looks ridiculous! I had to take an extra Lipitor just watching the video!! I'm going to definitely give this a try, but am wondering if I could get the same sort of result with some added "smoke" to the flavor by doing this in my smoker. I'll try it both ways, and if I haven't had a stroke by that time, I'll let you know. Thanks again for the great work!!

    Clive, great video and great series. A comment or two and a question or two! The roasted tomatoes are a highlight here -- we just expanded on that by roasting them further, and with more garlic, until the tomatoes have really broken down, and served them over pasta -- a very easy, delicious way to enjoy them! Next, we've had trouble finding a Tuscan grill like the one that you utilized . .. . .the only one we could find was stainless steel, and it was really difficult to remove the fish without everything sticking and the fish coming apart. Thanks for your terrific work!!

    I haven't used eucalyptus, mainly because it's not readily available in my area. But I understand it's a good wood to use as long as it's had a long time to season and dry out. It's one of those woods that is high in natural oils, so it can be a bit smokey to begin with. Let me know what your experience is. Clive

    I've been working as an Italian style pizza cook for the last two months. I came here for advice on distributing and maintaining heat within the oven, and I was fully enticed by all of the pizza options! How long does it typically take to get your oven to the desired temp? And should a flame be present at all times? I usually operate the oven for 4 to 5 hours every day, but I start heating it about 3 hours before we're open for business.

  • @TheWoodFiredOvenChef
    @TheWoodFiredOvenChefАй бұрын

    I usually like to give the oven at least 2 hour to warm up, so the heat has really penetrated the dome and floor. If you're cooking pizza then you want to keep the constant fire going, particularly a nice flame roll across the dome.

    I love my andiron, and always use it. It helps with better airflow around the fuel, and so it’s not just sitting on the embers.
