Yeah, we fire ours up at least once a week. They take a little practice, but you soon get the knack. I'm presuming you're talking about the dome-shaped ones with the chimney at the front..?
Start the fire in the centre, and keep it burning so that the flames just about lick up the chimney. After a while, the bricks in the roof will start to go white. Keep it burning until they are all white (the ones at the bottom will go last), then move the embers to one side and sweep (special wood oven brush). Then slam you pizze in - they will cook very fast. It's easier to cook them in a flan tin to start with, but better to cook them directly on the stone. When you're done eating pizze, put bread in and close the door. Bread will be ready in about 20-25 mins.
You can cook anything in them that you would normally cook in an oven, just be aware that the temperature gradually falls over a 24 hour period, so pick your time right.
Bon appetito!
