Assembly

Assemble on a flat, level surface. The ceramic coating is very durable, but can be scratched. During assembly, ensure that the Pi Fire is not resting on a hard or abrasive surface.

Step 1: Attach First Leg

Fasten one leg to the Pizza Oven body using (2) M6 screws and washers. Tighten using the included wrench. It is recommended to flip the Pi Fire to install the legs. Before doing so, place it on a soft, non-scratch surface and ensure the pizza stone is NOT installed in the oven.

Operation

Step 4: Placement on Fire Pit

The Pi Fire is designed to be carried using the folding handles on the top surface. To place the Pi Fire onto the fire pit, lift and place as shown. Take care not to tip the Pi Fire or the pizza stone may come loose. Install the Pi Fire so the legs rest firmly on the top of the fire pit. Do NOT use Pi Fire without the flame ring in place.

Starting a Fire and Heating Up:

1. For best results, place the Pi Fire onto the fire pit before lighting a fire. Using the included High-Heat Resistant Gloves, place the Pi Fire onto the fire pit by lifting at the handle locations.
2. To start a fire, place 2-3 fire starters into your fire pit and light. Add 2-3 hardwood logs for Ranger, 3-4 logs for Bonfire, and 4-5 for Yukon/Canyon. (Reference your fire pit's instruction manual for more info). Hardwoods will work best; Oak is suggested.
3. Add wood as needed, ensuring that the fire pit flame is hitting at or close to the bottom of your Pi Fire. ?
4. Allow Pi Fire to heat up for approximately 30-45 minutes or until the center of the stone reaches 550-675°F (285-355°C). A Solo Stove IR Thermometer is recommended for taking temperature readings.

Cooking Guidelines

1. Once the Pi Fire stone has reached a temperature of 550-675°F (285-355°C), it is time to launch the 1st pizza. ?
2. Stretch and then prep the pizza dough on a bamboo or stainless launching peel (bamboo is recommended). Put a healthy dusting of flour, cornmeal, or semolina on the launching peel to prevent uncooked pizza from sticking during the launch.
3. Using high-heat gloves, launch the pizza into the Pi Fire.
4. Typical cooking times will last between 5-10 minutes. Cooking times vary based on the temperature of the stone, the height of the flame, and the thickness/type of your dough.
5. It is recommended to use a turning peel to turn the pizza 180° about 3-4 minutes after launching.
6. Using high-heat gloves, retrieve the pizza when cooked to preference.
7. Planning on launching more pizzas? Use an IR thermometer to ensure the stone temperature is back to 550-675°F (285-355°C). Add 1-2 more hardwood logs and wait 5-10 minutes for the stone temperature to reach the optimal range.

Cleaning & Maintenance

1. Allow Pi Fire to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
2. Do NOT allow the stone to get wet. Remove the stone and carefully set it aside when cleaning the Pi Fire.
3. The stone can be brushed clean to remove loose material if needed. Light sandpaper can be used for harder-to-remove buildups. Soot buildup on the stone is normal and should not affect future pizzas. Do not use water or liquid cleaners on the stone or submerge it in liquids.
4. Soot buildup on the Pi Fire will occur during use. This is normal and can be partially removed by gentle cleaning. Warm soapy water and clean, soft terry cloths are suggested. Rinse as needed and allow to air dry or dry with a soft terry cloth. Do NOT submerge the Pi Fire.
5. The inside surfaces of the Pi Fire are Stainless Steel and will discolor and patina over use. This is normal and is not a defect.
6. Store Pi Fire in its carry bag or in a cool, dry location when not in use.
7. Store Pi Fire in an upright condition. Do NOT rest or store items on top of the Pi Fire.
8. Before each use, check legs to ensure they are tight. Occasionally tightening of the screws may be needed. It is suggested to store the leg wrench in the carry bag for easy access. ?
