Thanks for that, Rob. Heatkit.com has lots of great photos and also
lots of links to other masonry oven sites.
I recently bought a couple of the best books on the subject and am
trying to rationalize the time and effort to build a masonry oven. I
would like to accumulate a bunch of baker friends and have bake
parties. It's a bit of a waste to build one of these babies and then
fire it and only bake a few loaves and a pizza.
One of the things I have recently learned is that one can bake bread
that is far superior to what we all eat, unless we have good access to
a specialty bakery run by a top baker.
