How often do you plan to use your Ozpig? If you only plan to use it occasionally, then a lower-priced model may be all you need. But if you plan to use your Ozpig regularly, it may be worth investing in a higher-priced model that is built to last.
What are your cooking preferences? Do you like to cook over an open fire, or do you prefer to use a stove? The Ozpig range or Big Pig range can be used with or without a stove, so it’s perfect for all kinds of outdoor cooking preferences.

The Ozpig S2 features
The Ozpig, which resembles a small pig on legs, has a specially designed chimney and is used with the door in an open position to provide the enjoyment and ambience of a contained fuel efficient, open fire. In recent years the developers’ passion for cooking kicked in and the unit has been further developed to double as a multi-purpose cooking station to further complement the original heating function.
The Big Pig features
Features like dual-zone cooking give you the ability to cook a whole meal on top of the stove, with extra heat for boiling pasta on one side while low heat simmers your sauce on the other. Much like the original Ozpig, you can also slow cook dishes on the side plates, taking advantage of radiant heat. This means you can have 4 things on the heat at once, with three times the heat volume and a much larger fire door, making the perfect home unit.

Customer Testimonials
How do I start a fire in Ozpig?
You need to breathe life into your fire. When you first start your fire make sure you have the top plate and door open. Give the fire time to take hold, moving from small kindling to medium-sized timber fully alight and burning.
Remember the Ozpig is designed to leave the door open; closing the door will only starve the fire.
Maintain a good fire by ensuring that you are putting new pieces of wood on the fire while there is still flame from the log. This will keep temperatures more stable as you are not waiting for new fuel to ignite.
Half fill the Ozpig body with your fuel selection ensuring that nothing can fall out when the front door is opened.
You now have two options:
Fill a chimney with your selection of charcoal or briquettes. Light these and once they are fully alight and greyed over pour them on top of the fuel in the body. Ensure that nothing can fall out the front door. Now you can place your smoker on top.
OR
Place firelighters throughout the charcoal or briquettes. Light the firelighters and begin the burndown process. Once fuel is ashed over you’re ready. For this method ensure you use natural firelighters as artificial ones will taint your smoker and this smell and flavour will go through your whole cook and is hard to remove. If using artificial firelighters make sure the smoker is not placed on top until they have all burnt off,
Using the vented door, ensure the vents are wide open for maximum airflow. Ensure that your chimney baffle is fully open and now you can bring the oven smoker up to your desired heat.
If you are struggling to reach the temperatures that you require you can always add wood to bring up the temperature.
