2. ALLOWING MOISTURE INTO THE BAKING STONE
3. PLACING COOL OR COLD FOOD ONTO THE BAKING STONE
4. HANDLING THE STONE TOO MUCH
5. REMOVING THE STONE TOO SOON FROM A HOT OVEN

How To Prevent Your Pizza Stone From
Cracking In The Future
· Maintain your stone in your oven at all times. If you such as a
pretty looking rock, cover with aluminum foil so drips from other
things don't discolor it.
· Always place a rock into a cool stove as well as do a long preheat.
· Decrease handling. Moving in and out of the stove can cause
cracking.
· Stay clear of cleaning or oiling a stone. The moisture can create it
to split.
· Wait until rock is entirely chilly before removing it from oven.
· Don't place icy pizzas on your pizza stone.
· Utilize a folded up towel and also place on the counter prior to you
take the rock out of the stove, so the counter will not send your
rock right into "thermal shock".

For Cooking
1. Put the pizza stone in the oven, put an appropriate amount of
firewood into the combustion stove, light the firewood, and let the
heat fill the whole stove.
2. Make sure the dough is at room temperature and give a sprinkling
of flour or cornstarch to the pizza peel so it will easily remove the
pizza dough. If the pizza is stuck, lift the dough gently at one side.
Provide a gentle blow of air underneath to help release it.
3. When the oven thermometer reach 350℃~400℃(662℉~752 ℉),
open the door, push the pizza onto the pizza stone with a pizza
shovel, and close the door.
4. According to the thickness of the pizza you make, the baking time
is about 1-5 minutes. You can open the oven, observe the state of
the pizza and adjust it.
5. Open the door and take out your finished pizza with the pizza
shovel. Now, enjoy your pizza.
If you are cooking another pizza, let the oven rest for one to two
minutes to get back up to full heat before putting it in. Check on your
wood to make sure they are topped up.
