Cob Oven
« on: October 09, 2017, 11:32:42 PM »
Here's our cob oven. I thought someone might be interested in the build
It's not something that you just fire up for a quick pizza, but when we have pizza parties, it's great.
Sometimes we lose electricity for a few hours here.  On those days, it's great for an all day baking...I heat it up to about 650 degrees to start.  It has a very reliable and consistent temperature drop of 50 degrees per hour.
So I start with bread, and when that's done, I do some roasted meat and add vegetables toward the end.  Then dessert.  I usually use the overnight residual heat for drying herbs.
Somewhere, some long time ago, milk decided to reach toward immortality… and to call itself cheese.

Me to Ann,
Maybe with a few more instructions (and a lot more picture's) I would be able to make one.
Nice job
