General questions
We recommend dry beech or birch wood for optimal firing. Coniferous woods are not suitable, there is a risk of sparking due to the essential oils in these woods.
Yes, this is not a problem with the stoves from the house Valoriani. A suitable gas burner is needed and a hole is required on the stove, which depends on the burner chosen. Gas burners are available in our store.
To get the pizza in and out easier, the use of flour is recommended. The cause could also be that the sauce is too long on the dough, then it can push through and the pizza sticks to the slider. Considering these two aspects, it should work.
Signs of wear of the fireclay floor after a short running time are very surprising and not normal. There are some important points to take care of the furnace, please be sure to follow them:
- Never use moisture, water, detergents or even wet rags for cleaning. This can cause thermal shock. Then the material contracts much too quickly and cracks may appear!
- It is sufficient to remove the ash and embers with a brass broom.
- Change the fire weekly in order to stress the fireclay floor equally.
- After work or in the evening, close the door to reduce the heat or temperature in the oven very slowly.
- Under the floor should be at least 20 cm thick insulation to retain heat and ensure slow cooling.
You can install an ash drawer in the front between the front panel and the bottom panels. However, it is not absolutely necessary, because the wood-burning ovens are usually so efficient with good insulation, that even after 4 to 6 hours of firing, a maximum of a handful of ash is produced. The easiest way is to sweep out the oven when it is put into operation, as it is usually cooled down.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. When the furnace is fired, it is bright due to the flame in the interior. Thus, additional lighting is not needed. Some customers have installed a flexible lamp at the mouth of the furnace, this is probelmlos possible.

In addition, we have a blog post about your question.
As far as delivery is concerned, there is nothing that does not exist. We have had a lot of stairs, narrow doors, long ways or even delivery through the air, which then organize our customers individually.
.That's not a problem. In our blog we explain to you the differences between wood and gas firing.
.The good news is that both oven molds are fine for home use, but there are small crucial differences:
- Optics
- Function
- Firing
- Mobility
Check out our blog for more information.
It depends of course on what you want to cook.
