Smaller Fires in the Wood Fired Oven

It isn’t always necessary to start with a large fire. I often begin with a smaller fire, and gradually building it up from there until I have reached the temperature I’m looking for. With this method I find I use less fuel, have more control over the temperature, and I’m putting the heat just where I want it based on what I’ve decided to cook. On top of that, it creates a lot less smoke. If you haven’t already tried this method of firing up your oven, I recommend you experiment with it to see if you find it as effective as I do.
