Wood fired oven
Yesterday we went along to a bonfire night event in the Hop Garden in High Spen. It was an opportunity to see their wood fired oven in operation. I was able to ask about how it was built and from what, and what effort and time is needed to operate it. I can see building our own oven as our next big project in 2019.
Good idea to have an outdoor wood oven, we had two (side by side) for 30 years, to bake sourdough rye bread that we sold at a local Farmer's Market. Each one baked 20 loaves at a time. Its a bit of a learning curve, be prepared to have some things burn at first, but I am sure that you will get the hang of it soon enough.
