12 Fire!!

Last February, my husband started a huge project ~ building his own brick oven.

You can see the humble beginnings here.

We are proud to announce that we have built our first fire!




What started out as a hole became a foundation, walls and a top.









This year, he was able to start the floor of the oven...










which morphed into an igloo of sorts.








A door was added and framing was begun.


All we needed was a chimney and we were good to go!






As part of the curing process, we need to start a small fire and gradually work our way up to a rip roaring 900 degree bonfire ~

Here's hoping we will have some yummy pizzas and artisan breads in our future...

  8. I would LOVE to have a wood fired oven in my house, but it's not designed to have an extra tall chimney, so this oven is outside ~

  9. Funny, my husband spent the summer building one for us. We should compare notes on the use. I'd love to bake together sometime!
