Build a traditional wood-fired clay oven: A Step-by-step guide

something I can use as a reference when I do construct my oven.....not sure when, I still need to find "fire Brick" in hawaii.....thank you

I had attended a weekend workshop and built an oven Successfully some years ago. Now my teenage daughter wanted to make an oven. We both found this book inspiring and easy to follow. Good techniques explained well. Would have liked even more photos but there are enough to give you the confidence to built your own oven. Recommended.

This book has been marginally helpful to me as I research how to build a clay oven. There was some amount of helpful information, but too many times the information was vague even when it comes to how the author built his own oven. For example, "I'm not a great one for recording measurements (sorry!) but readers of the blog have posted the volumes for ovens they have constructed which I have included below." "Tip lots of sand onto the brick floor of your oven. I'm not sure how many bags I used but I remember being amazed at how much was neeeded..." I doubt that you will be able to build your oven without consulting additional resources beyond this book. With no offense to the author intended, I found a simple search on YouTube to be more helpful to me than this book. There were "pieces" of information that were helpful scattered through the book, which is why I'm able to give this book 3 stars.

Excellent guide to making a great oven. Really clear outline of the steps and a must have to avoid simple mistakes that could ruin the project.

a four means I havent started doing ng oven yet but I find the information very helpful for me. I got some ideas already before I start doing project of mine.

Useful guide, but I think I'd like it better as a paper, not Kindle edition, because of pictures. However, if you have the Kindle Fire, it would work well.

I expected a book not a dounload.

Very good, liked kindle book. It would have been better in paper back, you could then see photos beeper.

quando lo avrò costruito vi saprò dire, invitante e realizzabile! materiali alla portata, fattibilitá pure, avrei voluto qualche immagine o disegno in più, nel libro, le ho avute ad ogni modo nella comunity

So easy to follow. Had great fun with our summer project!

This book has inspired me to build my own wood fired pizza oven. Simple instructions and advice on the construction of a generic design.

This is a good basic overview of how to build a clay oven and use it. I have built one oven and I a,non the process of building my second. I found the book a little general and lacking in authority. It is a bit of an experimental process, but some specifics on the ratios of the mix of the clay or the optimum dimensions of the oven would have been helpful. Otherwise a good introduction.
