How to use a wood-fired tandoor?

Place the tandoor on a flat, stable surface at a safe distance from buildings, trees, and flammable materials.

Assemble all components according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure all parts are securely installed. If required, cover the bottom of the tandoor with a thin layer of sand or clay to improve heat distribution.

Place dry firewood and fire starters inside the tandoor. Light the fire and allow it to burn until a steady flame is established. Close the lid and let the tandoor preheat for 1–2 hours.

While the tandoor is heating, prepare your ingredients. You can cook meat, fish, vegetables, bread, and many other foods. Marinate the ingredients beforehand if required by your recipe.

Arrange the food on skewers or cooking racks and carefully place them inside the tandoor. Close the lid before cooking.

Cook the food according to the recommended cooking time for each ingredient. Check the cooking progress periodically and turn the food if necessary to ensure even cooking.

Once the food is ready, carefully open the lid and use heat-resistant gloves to safely remove the skewers or racks with the cooked food.

Allow the tandoor to cool down naturally. Never leave a hot tandoor unattended.

After the tandoor has completely cooled, remove the ash and charcoal residue. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and store the tandoor in a clean, dry place.
