Chapter on oven temp management from "Art of Wood-Fired Cooking"

I posted this in another thread, but thought it would be helpful if it had it's own thread in this section of the forum.

The book The Art of Wood-Fired Cooking is available for preview/online reading on Google Books. There is a chapter that I thought does a good job of explaining various oven states (pizza cooking, roasting, baking, bread) and how to manage temperature zones.

Here is a link to that chapter. It's only a few pages long and is well worth reading if you are trying to get to know your oven better. Actually, the entire book is pretty good. I recommend purchasing if it is not already in your WFO library.

Bumping this very old post. As someone who is in the process of figuring out how to fire my new cast build I found it very helpful to understand the entire process. Especially about maintaing the coal bed and adapting to different types of baking. A belated thank you. Hopefully others will also appreciate the pearls of wisdom in this book excerpt.
