  • In this episode I share my experience with cooking using the full heat cycle. The full heat cycle begins with a live fire. Then once the fire has gone out, using the full range of residual heat to cook a variety if dishes.
    Insulated Mortar
    Insulated Mortar is a cement mixture made with an insulation material like Vermiculite or Perlite. Consult your Wood Oven supplier for more information.
    There are three type of heat that work together to cook your food when it’s in the oven.
    There’s Radiant Heat
    That’s the heat generated directly by the fire in the oven chamber, and heat stored in the dome and floor. The temperature directly around the fire is going to be hottest part of the oven. Then it will drop towards the oven opening. That’s one of the great versatilities with cooking in the wood oven, that you can use the variable temperature to regulate how you cook your food.
    Next is Conduction Heat
    That’s the heat that's transferred by direct contact with your food. For example from the floor when you’re making pizza, or from the pans or grill you’re using inside the oven.
    And then there’s Convection Heat
    That’s the heat generated by cool air drawn into the oven, that is then heated as it flows over the floor and the fire, and then circulated throughout the oven chamber, and out through the chimney.

    Your earliest posts inspired my COVID project of finally building a wood fired oven on our patio in Ohio. I started last June 2020 and adhered to professional standards. I finished in September. Then I realized the oven was a pro chef tool... I then spent a couple months learning how to bake and cook using Stone Age tech. I ruined a lot of food, drank a lot of good wine and emerged with an understanding beyond my wildest hopes. This oven has changed my life. It has slowed me down and I have drawn a feeling of peace and confidence from the process. I understand wood now and how it must be respected and used. I know now the chemistry of baking. I have discovered a new way of involving my friends and enjoying their reactions as they see and live the process with me. In the beginning I just thought it would be cool to make a pizza. Now I have gained a rich understanding of how our ancestors lived and enjoyed their lives. What I thought was a hobby has become a lifestyle. Thank you for your posts. You have helped change my life for the better. Viva le internet!

      Thanks for your wonderful comment Monte. Everything you say is perfect, and the same experience I have had with the wood oven. You can't learn how to make great food without have a few disasters, of which I have had many. But as I say in the introduction, the more you use you oven, the greater your understanding of what it's capable of. I look forward to hearing about your cooking adventures. Clive

      Monte Sanborn what an amazing & perfectly insightful comment! When I saw Clive’s earliest videos I was sold on WFO & his amazing top class content which has so many layers of finesse & valuable detailing. If I come into owning a piece of land in the forests of Auroville this has been on my mind as a must have precisely to help me slow down in my conscious journey towards slowing down & be true to my innate leaning for a more natural & nature based living.
      Do post your videos for all of us to share in your journey with the WFO & your adventures in cooking with WFO. I want to hear it all☀️🤗
      @Clive I agree with all the comments by all those in your recent videos who have said they missed your videos or want you to continue making them more regularly. Pls make 1-2 videos a week with your regular day-2-day mundane recipes (which I highly doubt if there’s anything mundane or regular about your life with a WFO😇) which we can learn & follow.
      God bless you both.

    I love recommending your videos to anyone whose interest in wood fired oven cooking gets piqued by eating from ours.
    I also refuse to write down or memorise your pizza dough recipe so I have to come back and watch that video every time I make dough, your presence and exacting calm, and music and beautiful films, help get me in the right spot for a another wood fired oven experience- which seems to be one of the best things about this sort of cooking.

      In Finland, it was tradition to build these kind of ovens inside houses (sometimes detached houses and/or summer houses still have them included in newbuilds). They would then serve both as a cooking tool and a heating system for the house. I've even heard of some modern adaptations where radiant heating tubes have been routed through the outer mortar of the oven, to spread the heat into the floor system all around the house.

    Glad to see another video. I was hoping you would make one on this aspect of the wood fired oven. My experiences with oven temperatures and times closely mirror yours. When I want to cook with retained heat, I often try and get the most use out of my heat. I’ll cook dinner the evening before with the fire and then bank the heat for a cook the next day. I too spread out the embers and put on my insulating door and will have some embers red hot after I remove the door. I will use these embers to fry some bacon and eggs. After breakfast I’ll clean out the oven and will bake bread.
    Thanks fir posting this video

    Have been waiting for this next installment and as always it was well worth the wait. Your production gets better and better. So good.
    I find that retained heat cooking, if adequately prepared for, adds so much to the wood oven experience. The financial cost of the wood for a full fire is easily distributed over 3 days of value based cooking.
    4 hour pork belly the evening following a pizza cook, spare ribs for 7 hours the day after, not to mention your eggs Shakshuka in between...any wonder I’m buying larger clothes these days :)
    I have mentioned before that your videos were part of the inspiration for my oven build. I take so much enjoyment from it. For this I thank you.

    I have lived all my life in apartments in , but at my 44 I felt the need for a house and a oven just like yours and the knowledge. thanks a lot, it looked like a very fulfilling dream

    Your oven is beautiful. The food you've cooked looks delicious and you have made full use of the temperature possibilites therefore making the whole proceedure economically cost efficient and time effective. All I need now is an oven such as this and good bread baking skills. The rest I have. Thankyou.

    I stumbled on this video randomly and watched the entire thing. I was entertained fully and 100% shocked to learn how long an oven of this type holds heat with an ability to cook foods. Long after the fire is gone. Good video.

    LOVE this. I often cook something half way then put it into an insulated box and it continues to cook while I'm doing something else. I will combine your system and mine and develop a whole new way of meal preparation. Thanks.

    Finally... someone who knows what they are talking about! What you presented (in a dignified, accurate and clear manner) is exactly right - and right in-line with 18th century cooking in an earthen oven. VERY well done Sir! Now that I have seen this... I'll go back and watch all your videos. Thank you for sharing. When I know someone who needs an education on this - I will refer them to your videos. This really is top notch. Best to you and yours. Pats for the pup :-)

    You have a great oven and setting.
    My family thought that I had lost it when I made my heat graph but it is so helpful when cooking with residual heat. At the lowest temperature you can dry herbs and peppers.

    • @TheWoodFiredOvenChef
      @TheWoodFiredOvenChef  Před 3 lety

      They may not understand the heat graph, but I'm sure they liked the results that came out of the oven. Great suggestion for the herbs. Thanks David.

    Thank you for your well thought out ideas and information about wood fire oven cooking. It is indeed a great adventure and i learned by trial and error, before discovering your channel. Wood fire cooking is one of the most tricky (and rewarding!) cooking methods because of the multiple variables that go into it. It is very demanding and requires a bit of attention but it is one of the methods I'm most fond of: the power to congregate family and friends is awesome. One of the things I do at the end of the night is putting some vegetables in the smallest iron cast pot with a lid (e.g. half a carrot, small bell peppers, garlic, half a tomato, cubes of squash, eggplant, onion, turnip, a sprig of rosemary, really whatever fancies you or leftover vegetables you have with a bit of butter or olive oil -not too much) then i leave it overnight. Some of it will be burnt but it doesn't matter, it's better. Put it in a blender (without the rosemary) with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and or spices and blend it to have a spreadable texture. I assure you it's an unbelievable spread for breads before lunch or dinner or as a dip for vegetables like celery. The way is to experiment, you never have the same flavour twice.

      Hello Gonzalo. Thanks for you insight into the oven. Everything you say is true, and more and more people are discovering what you experience. The vegetable recipe sounds great, and I will try it next time I use the oven. Clive

    Hey Clive!
    Just watched another WFC marathon. I think I've watched most of your vids at least 10 times, except this one. You inspire me to get out and fire mine, but at the moment mine is surrounded by 4' snowdrifts, in -20°C, and a 30K wind. In summer, it has competition from my offset bbl smoker, and my Parilla, both self built. Also always in a great cloud of flies. I envy you. But keep the inspiration coming, and don't forget the wine pairings!!
