The Subito Cotto line of wood-burning Pizza Ovens is hand made in Italy by Zio Ciro, a company with over 20 years of experience working with pizza ovens and other refractory products.

The Subito Cotto Mini is fully assembled and partially cured at the factory, this combination will allow you to be cooking in no time!

Your Subito Cotto Mini oven include:

A refractory dome
A metal door
A propane regulator

The oven is built on a metal base that features 4 metal support to allow for countertop installation.

The base of the oven is insulated with a a thick layer of expanded clay, the refractory dome is covered by a layer of high-temperature rock wool insulator, and protected by a patented composite outer shelf, that protects the oven from the elements and gives our ovens their unique look.

CAUTION

The use of the gas burner is limited to outside use only . The use of the burner, while a wood fire is active, is forbidden.

Since the fittings could become loose during transportation, the customer is required to perform a leak check before using the gas burner.

Please contact us for availability or special installation requirements.

The Avanzini P0 Drago gas burner is an atmospheric gas burner developed to complement the capabilities of the Subito Mini.. Its reliability, quietness of operation, and efficiency make this burner a best-seller among residential customers.

To ensure its optimal performance, the burner requires a gas connection using a 1/2 inch gas hose and a regulator with a 1/2 inch outlet. Smaller gas hoses may restrict the gas flow preventing the burner from reaching its rated output.

The Subito Cotto Mini is available as a propane oven and as a Natural Gas oven as a special order directly from the manufacturer. We would be happy to special order a Natural Gas oven in concomitance with our regular orders.

Curing is the process by which your oven is gradually and uniformly dried out of the humidity that might have been accumulated in the oven during the building and assembly stages.

During the process of heating up, thermal expansion occurs, and to maintain the same rate of expansion and to prevent structural cracks, the materials need to be as dry as possible.

Small hairline expansion lines are normal and will not affect the performance of your oven, while larger, structural cracks could diminish its efficiency and cause issues down the road, so this is a step you do not want to skip or rush through! While curing fires do not need to occur on consecutive days, best results have been achieved with no more than two days between heat cycles.

The objective of curing a wood burning Subito Cotto pizza oven is to increase the temperature inside the oven gradually (no more than 50 degrees C/hour), avoiding thermal shock.

To achieve that, start a small fire in a separate location, such as a charcoal chimney starter or roasting pan, and only place the pan in the oven when the flames have decreased in intensity (you want to avoid a flame that touches the dome). Add coals or small amounts of wood to feed the fire while avoiding large pieces that would generate a large flame, moving the pan inside the oven every 30 minutes or so to ensure the entire floor is heats up evenly.

Once your entire oven has reached 200 degrees Celsius (dome, walls and floor), maintain that temperature for around 2 hours let the fire go out and allow your oven to return to ambient temperature.

You will need to repeat those steps for every curing fire, with the following temperature targets:

1^st Fire 200 C/2 hours
2^nd Fire 250 C/3 Hours
3^rd Fire 300 C/2 hours

The remaining curing fires can be started directly in the oven, as long as the fires are small and you allow your oven to heat up slowly. During the third or fourth fire, the oven will start releasing some moisture as small droplets of water dripping from the metal base of the oven; once this process starts, maintain the oven at a stable temperature until the dripping stops. This process can take several fires to complete, once it does resume the curing process with the following schedule:

4^th Fire 350 C/3 hours
5^th Fire 400 C/2 hours
6^thFire 450 C/2 hours

The curing process can also been accomplished using a small cast iron burner; Several are available, ensure you select one with an thermal output suitable to your oven. This set up is also useful for customers that reside in colder climates, as it will allow for a gentle warming up of the oven during cold weather days ( 40F or less)

If using a burner to cure/pre-heat the oven, always ensure the length of the black pipe connecting the venturi to the burner head is long enough to keep the gas hose outside the oven.

If you would like to use small burner to cure your oven you can consider this models:

Please ensure the burner you choose has a BTU rating in the 40/50K BTU`s range.

If using a burner to cure/pre-heat the oven, always ensure the length of the black pipe connecting the ventury to the burner head is long enough to keep the gas hose outside the oven.

READ ALL INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING YOUR SUBITO COTTO OVEN. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH

FOLLOW the instruction for curing your wood fired oven. Failure to follow the curing instructions can cause damage to the oven.
ALWAYS ensure that children and pets are kept at a safe distance from your wood fired oven, both during and after operation. We suggest children under the age of 16 should be supervised when using the oven
ALWAYS ensure the oven is sited on a level base. The stand MUST NOT tilt
DO NOT modify in any way the wood fired oven from the manufacturer specifications
DO NOT block the flue pipe
ONLY USE untreated, well-seasoned, dry hard wood
DO NOT burn rubbish in your oven
DO NOT use any kind of flammable liquids or fuel (Including, but not limited to firelighter fluid, gasoline, diesel, Kerosene etc.) at any time to start or maintain a fire
BEWARE of High internal temperatures. Your oven can easily reach temperatures in excess of 400C°, use caution when cooking and baking food in your oven
DO NOT insert unprotected hands or arms inside your wood burning oven while or after operations. If burns occur, immerse in cold water and seek medical advice
ALWAYS used approved bakeware, long utensils, gloves and mitts when using your wood fired oven
DO NOT leave a fire unsupervised.
DO NOT allow your oven to become wet. If it does, wait until the oven is fully dry (at least a full week since water intrusion) and follow your curing instructions to dry it properly before use. You can use a space heater before the first curing fire to reduce the moisture content.
DO NOT use water to calm or extinguish a fire, except in an emergency
DISPOSE of cool ash in an approved bin, add to compost or spread it on garden as nutrient.
DO NOT inhale ash or dust.
DO NOT place frozen foods in a hot oven.

How to set up your wood fire oven.

Follow the Assembly instructions.
Check that all bolts are securely tightened using an adjustable wrench.
Decide where to place your stand. It needs to be on the heart and level surface, preferably in a concrete, tiled or decked area, which can easily hold the weight of the oven (depending on the model, it can exceed 750 pounds)
there is a risk of toppling if not sited level or if sited on soft ground. To prevent the risk of toppling we recommend siting the oven up against a wall, fence or hedge.
DO NOT lean against the oven.
Make sure the oven is in a safe distance from any flammable surfaces and that there is enough space around the flu pipe for smoke to disperse.

How to care for your oven.

You do not need to clean the oven with cleaning product because the high temperature will kill any germs or bacteria. Any food spillage will simply get burned to ashes which you can sweep out each use or when ash has built up, allow the ash to cool and sweep it out the oven with a metal brush into a suitable metal container. Afterwards you can use the cool ashes as fertilizer.
Never throw water into the oven or introduce frozen food into a hot oven, as the thermal shock could damage the oven.
It’s a good idea to clean the flu pipe every once in a while. Use a brush to loosen up any soot stuck inside the pipe or underneath the rain cap.
Metal components may be resprayed with heat resistant paint such as barbecue paint available in a DIY stores
The different density between the refractory concrete and mortar allows for thermal expansion and contraction. Over time, it might be necessary to touch up the seams between the concrete parts to maintain optimal performance.
