Greg's Earth Oven

raincoat I have been covering the oven with a plastic tarp to keep the rain off, but really would like some permanent weather protection. The next project is to build a "hat" for the oven before winter. Rather that build a shed roof over it, I am thinking of casting a thin concrete dome, like the cap on an acorn, which will sit on top of the oven with a few inches of air space between. It will overhang the edges and keep all but the most driving rain off.
cooking tools We have used the oven a number of times, learning a little bit more about firing and cooking in it each time. I have built a peel for handling the pizza and bread from a piece of old sheet metal, and have a rooker and scuffle for pulling out the coals and dusting off the firebrick floor.


Send me your Comments and suggestions and I will try to update this site with things of interest to everybody.

Thanks to all that sent me great encouraging coments. I have finally gotten around to adding another page showing firing and cooking with the oven.
