FAQs
What type of wood should I use?
It is recommended to use dry, seasoned hardwood such as oak, maple, or fruitwoods. Avoid treated lumber or softwoods, as they can produce excessive smoke and undesirable flavors.
How long does it take to preheat?
The oven typically preheats in 10-15 minutes, reaching optimal cooking temperatures quickly once the wood is burning well.
Can I use this oven indoors?
No, this is an outdoor-use-only product due to the nature of wood-fired cooking and the production of smoke and heat.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product manual or Sealey's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
How do I clean the pizza stone?
Once the stone is completely cool, you can scrape off any residue with a pizza stone brush or a metal spatula. Avoid using water or soap, as this can damage the stone.
Does it come assembled?
The oven requires some assembly, particularly of the trolley, but the main oven unit is largely pre-assembled for quick setup.
What are the dimensions of the oven?
Specific dimensions can be found in the product's technical specifications section or manual. It is designed to be compact for portability.
Troubleshooting
Oven not heating up quickly
Ensure you are using dry, seasoned hardwood. Add more fuel to the firebox. Check for any obstructions in the chimney.
Pizza crust is burning on the bottom, but cheese is not melted
The oven may be too hot. Reduce the amount of wood fuel being added. Ensure the pizza stone has preheated sufficiently. Try rotating the pizza halfway through cooking.
Smoke is excessive or escaping from the front
Ensure the chimney is clear and properly attached. Make sure the oven door (if applicable) or opening is not blocked. Use smaller pieces of seasoned wood for better combustion.
Difficulty moving the oven
Ensure the trolley wheels are unobstructed and the oven is balanced correctly on the trolley before attempting to move it.
