Mountain Series Installation and Operation Manual
SaFetY ConSideration
REMOVAL OF CREOSOTE AND SOOT
As with all commercial cooking equipment exhaust systems, a regular inspection and cleaning schedule is needed to
prevent the possibility of a hood or duct fire. The frequency of inspection and cleaning will depend on hours of use and
type and quality of wood used as fuel. Only use hardwood species dried to a moisture content of 20% or less. See the
Fuel Wood Facts Sheet at the end of this manual.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool oven flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates in the duct. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The duct serving this oven should be inspected at least twice a month during the first two months of operation, to establish
rate of creosote buildup and necessary cleaning schedule. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a flue fire.
The interior floor and dome of the oven do not require creosote or soot removal. The oven flue and exhaust
system will require inspection and cleaning. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned per the
manufacturer's and or local code official's recommendations.
DISPOSE OF ASH PER THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Place ashes into a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
2. Place the closed container of ashes on a non-combustible floor or on the ground.
3. Place the closed container of ashes well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal.
4. Retain the ashes in the closed container until all the cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can then be disposed of
safely.
NOTE: Wood Stone's stainless steel ash shovel and double compartment ash disposal system offer a safe and convenient
way to dispose of ash.
DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY LIQUIDS ONTO THE OVEN DECK OR INTO THE OVEN INTERIOR AS THIS CAN DAMAGE
