Tips on what wood to use

For combustion we recommend using chopped wood with a humidity of less than 20%. It is advisable to acquire the wood the previous year and store it in a dry and ventilated place.

How do we recognise a wet wood?

The wet wood is heavier, has few cracks and the bark is very attached. Sometimes it even has moss or even fungi.

Wet wood produces more annoying smoke when ignited, it is more polluting and generates debris that accumulates in the chimney. In addition, it produces less heat and it is much harder to turn it on.

How do we recognise a dry wood?

It is much lighter and, often, with cracks and the bark comes off easily. To know if the wood is wet or dry there is a small trick that consists of throwing a small log to the ground, and if the noise when falling is serious it means that the wood is wet.

The combustion of dry wood reduces the consumption and emission of smoke. The recommended types of wood are beech, oak, cherry, for example, due to its high calorific value.

Tips:

• Acquire the wood one year before using it
• Let the wood dry in a dry, covered and ventilated place
• If you are going to use a lot of wood, we recommend that you purchase a moisture meter.
• Virtually all the wood we can buy is too wet, and must be purchased in advance to fully enjoy your pizza party oven! Sometimes, if we are not sure of having dry wood, it is preferable to use briquettes.
• Optimal measurements: length 30 – 40 cm and width 3 – 7 cm

Materials that should NOT be used: wood with resins, avoid pine wood, wet wood, cardboard, wood with varnishes, treated wood, plastic materials.
