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.

    I love your videos. I moved into a home with a beautiful wood burning oven and had no Idea how to use it. I found your videos on line and have started to watch them all. I even emailed you to ask questions and you responded. I can't thank you enough for your videos. Not only are the production value exceptionally high but the information I have learned is priceless. I live in CA. Where are you located?

    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.

    Hi, really enjoying your great videos. I would like to know why you chose to use the andiron. Was the draw in your oven materially improved with it? I find my Vitcas Pompeii does not draw well until it gets hot and wonder if you had had similar issues and used the andiron to overcome that. Thank you

    Thank you, Clive. All that is missing for me to replicate your scrumptious dish is knowing the approximate oven temperature. Im guessing around 250 260°c at the hottest area and maybe about 180 near the oven entrance. Then, i could be completely wrong.

    Wonderful! I have a Gozney Dome oven. How do you keep the live fire (with flames) from going above 550F? And would the internal probe that my oven has work in a thin cut steak like the tri-tip?

  • @TheWoodFiredOvenChef
    @TheWoodFiredOvenChef19 күн бұрын

    The Gozney Dome is a great oven. If you watch Ep 32: "Beginning with a smaller fire in the Wood Fired Oven", I explain starting the oven with a smaller fire to bring it the temperature you want, and then controlling the fire from their to maintain where you want it.

    @@TheWoodFiredOvenChef Thank you for your reply! I made this last evening, and did start a small fire and built it up gradually. It hovered for the most part around 600F, but I'm guessing the oven floor was a bit lower as the 2lb tri-tip took the full 15+ minutes to reach the internal temperature. It came out great!

  • @TheWoodFiredOvenChef

    You can simple freeze individual portions of dough, either when you have first balled it up, or when you have finished cooking and have leftover pieces. They should keep for a couple of months. Take out what you need and so it can come to room temperature and let it reproof before shaping. Clive

    Hey Clive, how would you recommend building the bottom of an oven? I see some folks like Muganini say that refractory mortar or a “heat absorbing” material should be used vs calcium silicate which is an insulator - the idea is that you want the oven to be “heat saturated” where the calcium silicate (like used by others like Forno Bravo, etc won’t do it which could cause to too much cooling of the floor vs using a refractory sub floor? I understand this would make the oven much heavier but I don’t care I want the best sustained performance. :). Thanks, you are awesome!

    lol, no need for insulation nor chimney. in my country we've been using these for a thousand years. edit: the sheer mass and thickness of the walls act as the a heat condencer so there is never need to insulate the dome. the chimney is never needed when the over is standalone outside like yours. the door is specialy shaped to allow the air to come in and smoke to come out.
