Getting ready to cook - setting up the fire in the oven

David will show you how we set up the fire in the Morso forno using a heat deflector to keep the fire to one side and to create a larger cooking area than if you don't use it. 

He is also using the roof of the oven to do some cooking as this is a great heat source too. Morso don't recommend this but we have never found any problem with it. If you are going to try this, you need to have high heat resistant magnets and silicon sheets. 

Also don't put anything on top that is laden with toppings - eg a very cheesy/saucy pizza as the toppings might slide off on to the forno. Again this has never been a problem for us and if anything does get on the outside of the oven we just wash it off after the cooking session with hot soapy.
