When cooking with fire, it is essential to start by making a high
fire, allowing the oven to reach a high temperature. Once the
oven is heated, the refractory brick floor becomes a radiator,
enabling food to cook from underneath as well as from above. In
your Cru Oven, the fire and smoke are drawn through the oven
and across the food as it cooks, adding an incredible flavor to the
various foods you are cooking.
This is something impossible to achieve when cooking by other
means (or methods). Heat will allow food to cook, while flames
will roast. The balance between the heat within the oven and
the flames present is the key to a perfect result.
You can cater to for a lot of people in a short period and at a
fraction of the cost. Cooking becomes easy once you have
mastered the balance between heat generated from embers
(allowing for slow cooking) and flames (more intense heat that
roasts). Food that creates a lot of juices like fish, meats, etc.,
should be cooked in appropriate cookware for the recipe and
heat of the oven.

Bricks Warning
• The refractory bricks on the oven floor have a very low
thermal conductivity, which means that they accumulate heat
and slowly release it, allowing to maintain heat within the
oven's chamber for a long time and cook inside the oven.
• They are made by firing at very high temperatures
(1200ºC./2200ºF.) using ceramic paste containing minerals.
These refractory bricks are made in the traditional way using
a semi-artisanal process, therefore it is not uncommon for
the bricks to have minor imperfections (like grounded
corners/edges) because of the very high temperatures with
which the stone is fired.
• Another important feature of these bricks is that they are
quite brittle - susceptible to breakage if improperly handled
or if moist when a fire is lit. Please take care of the refractory
bricks: do not bang, drop, or mishandle, and make sure they
are dry before starting a fire on them.
• Even if the bricks break you may still use them normally, being
broken does not diminish the bricks' ability to retain heat.
* it is not uncommon for the stones to have their corners ground.
