Pizza oven Vulcano TAAL

Yes, if the space is open. Check your condominium bylaws !

All our furnaces are painted with a corrosion-, heat- and salt-resistant paint. However, it is preferable to cover the oven or bring it inside when not in use.

We offer for sale a maintenance kit to be applied to the painted parts of your oven to maintain it. 

A protective cover is also available on our website.

The stainless steel sheet(s) on our convertible ovens are positioned under the stone(s). This prevents the stone from being exposed to grease when the barbecue is in use, and makes cleaning easier.

Start with a pile of kindling, then light a fire starter and place it on top.

Leave to set. Gradually add the small log split into quarters.

Once you have a carpet of embers, you can add more substantial pieces of wood.

Please follow the warm-up instructions in your owner’s manual to find out how long it will take for the oven to reach the right temperature.

Use dry kindling to light the fire

Use wood species such as beech, hornbeam, ash and oak.

Do not use resinous, treated or painted wood.

Do not use green or damp wood. It produces a lot of smoke and delivers half the energy of dry wood.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR DETERGENTS!
A maintenance kit is available on our website. Apply to all painted surfaces to maintain paintwork. 

Empty your log basket regularly. Clean the oven glass before each use to monitor the cooking process.

You can use the brass brush available on our website. Use a brass brush between each pizza / tarte flambée to remove burnt flour deposits. 

If your stone is stained with tomato sauce, turn it over and light a fire, which will burn away the stains and make your stone as good as new.

To clean the glass of your insert in an environmentally-friendly way, consider using ashes from your previous fire. Who’d have thought it?
And yet, all you have to do is sprinkle cold ashes on the insert glass and rub with a dry cloth until the dirt disappears.
Your glass will look as good as new, and the flames will be visible without any visual disturbance.

After a period of disuse, you can sweep the chimney flue to remove soot.

Please follow the instructions for oven preheating time. 

If your pizza or tarte flambée is burnt, your stone is too hot. You can cool it by moistening a cloth and running it over the stone to cool the surface.

You can also use the pizza grids available on our website, to slow down the cooking process and prevent the dough from burning. 

A laser thermometer is available on our website, enabling you to control the temperature of the stone so that it does not exceed 350°C. The ideal stone temperature for baking pizza or tarte flambée is between 280 and 320°C.

For ovens with flames in the cooking chamber, make sure there are continuous flames when you put your pizza or tarte flambée in the oven. If you’re baking several pizzas or tartes flambées in a row, take the time before putting a new pizza in the oven to replace the log and wait for it to ignite, so that you have enough flames to cook the pizza for 3 to 4 minutes.

To prevent the pizza from sticking to the work surface, be sure to flour both the work surface and your pizza peel.

You can also use the pizza grids available on our website. These allow you to place the pizza dough directly on top and then top your pizza. This will make it easier to handle your pizza.

No, we don’t have a recipe book dedicated to Vulcano. However you can join us on the FaceBook: Vulcano Club. With over 500 members, here we discuss fire lighting, recipe ideas, cooking tips and appliance maintenance.
