Learn how to light the Italian-made Fontana Forni wood-fired pizza oven and quickly get it up to temperature for cooking pizza. The target stone temperature may vary depending on the type of pizza you're going to make. We chose a stone temperature of 750°F (398°C) for this demonstration, as this is our preferred temperature to cook pizza at in the Fontana Forni oven equipped with the Standard stones. In our ovens equipped with the Saputo stones, we aim for 806°F - 896°F (430°C - 480°C) when cooking Neapolitan-style pizza.
First, gather these items:
• Firestarter (newspaper, wood, etc.)
• Kindling
• Small pieces of hardwood
• Large pieces of hardwood (no more than 2”-3” in diameter)
• Igniter (matches, propane torch, etc.)
• Brush (brass bristles recommended)
• Infrared thermometer
• Ash shovel
Then follow these steps:
• Ensure damper on your outdoor wood oven is fully open (handle must be vertical)
• Put kindling and some hardwood on top of the firestarter material
• Light the fire
• Add more hardwood to the fire
• Close the oven door but leave it slightly open
• Let it sit for five minutes
• Add more hardwood
• Close the damper to 45 degrees (to keep more heat inside)
• Use the infrared thermometer to measure temperature
• If the temperature is right, you’re ready to cook!
