When using the oven ensure that the by-pass damper is in the closed position, and the bottom air slide in the oven door is closed.
To maintain a constant oven temperature, have the fire burning briskly using small pieces of wood that provide plenty of flames.
If the temperature in the oven gets too hot, reduce the amount of oxygen to the fire by partially closing the top air slide. Alternatively, open the bottom door slide control in the oven door.
If the temperature in the oven drops below that desired, open the top air slide and add some more pieces of wood if required.
The round hotplates in the top of the heater can be removed for cooking purposes allowing direct flame to a wok or frypan. A triangular-handled tool is provided for lifting out the round hotplates.
