Frequently Asked Questions - Moderno ALFA
How do I season the pizza oven before first use?
Before first use, build a small fire and let it burn for 1-2 hours to cure the refractory bricks. This removes moisture and hardens the surface. Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
What type of wood should I use?
Use dry, seasoned hardwood like oak, maple, or hickory. Avoid softwoods like pine, which produce excessive smoke and creosote. Split logs into small pieces for easier temperature control.
How do I control the temperature?
Adjust the air intake by sliding the door or adjusting the chimney cap. More air increases the temperature, less air reduces it. Monitor the built-in thermometer. Typical pizza cooking temperature is around 700-800°F (370-430°C).
Can I use charcoal instead of wood?
Yes, you can use charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal. However, wood is preferred for authentic flavor. If using charcoal, mix it with wood chunks for a balance of heat and flavor.
How do I clean the pizza oven?
After the oven cools, remove ashes using a small shovel. Scrape the cooking surface with a brass brush to remove residue. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use water on the hot interior.
What size pizza can I cook?
The cooking surface is 12 inches in diameter, allowing pizzas up to 12 inches. For larger pizzas, you may need to rotate them. You can also cook bread, vegetables, and meats.
Is the oven safe to use on a wooden deck?
Place the oven on a non-combustible surface like concrete, stone, or metal. If using on wood, use a heat-resistant pad underneath. Maintain at least 20 inches clearance from combustible materials.
How do I prevent the pizza from burning?
Rotate the pizza every 30-60 seconds using a pizza peel. If the top is cooking faster than the bottom, lower the oven temperature slightly. Also, ensure the flame is not too high.
Can I use the oven in rainy weather?
The oven can be used in light rain, but avoid heavy downpours. Cover the chimney to prevent water entry when not in use. Always store the oven under a cover when not in use.
How do I troubleshoot uneven heating?
Uneven heating is normal in a wood-fired oven. Use a peel to rotate the pizza. For more even heat, build the fire to one side and rotate the pizza gradually. Allow 30 minutes for the oven to stabilize.
