    Its built, now just needs to dry

    Being a bit "unconventional" we have an outside fireplace in our garden, complete whith chimney and pot, which we use just like a chimenea or patio heater but its green cos it burns wood.

    I took it into my head to build a wood burning pizza (or bread) oven over one of the adjoining log stores as I think it will be fun to have a "make your own pizza theme" for our birthday party in July.

    Well all I can say is if you have room, have a go, its a real "little boy" process playing with clay to build it and as its now formed its just a case of waiting for it to dry out before removing the sand mould and giving it a whirl.

    All you need is clay, sand and a pair of hands.

    Interesting idea. Do let's know how the pizza goes.

    From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

          Great bit of kit PW. A few years ago The Flums decided to keep their ancient brains in good nick by taking a Certificate in Archaeology. Very interesting but I digest! On one of our field visits we saw a reconstruction of a Roman bread oven and my husband was fired up (sorry awful pun) and wanted to make one at home. I was all for it until I realised it was intended for my veg area, not his flower meadow! I still bake all our bread, but in the conventional oven. Need more land!

                    Its 15" wide Terry so should fit a pizza in for the biggest appetite. Filing that as it should cook one in around 2-3 minutes another will be ready to scoff before you have finished the first.

                          That looks wonderful Piglet, I've eaten pizza from one of those in turkey and it tasted fantastic.
