Imagine a full day of cooking--or rather, baking--in the backyard. First, the pizzas, then breads, then cobblers. This is what makes having a brick oven very appealing, and here are the resources I've found for inspiration thus far. There is a perfect spot in the backyard just begging for "proper" use. hmmm....
The two books that have inspired a lot of folks out there are
Your Brick Oven and
The Bread Builders.
And here are a few links for inspiration:
1)
Brian's Brick Oven Folly - Plenty of pictures and helpful tips, especially the detailed images of how the brick oven actually works.
2)
Frankie G's Wood-Fired Pizza Oven - More pictures. Similar techniques as above for forming the domed oven interior.
3)
Matt Considine: Building a Brick Oven - The most comprehensive site, as far as photographs go, for the entire process. This makes the project seem a little too daunting.
4)
Gulland Oven - Here's a relatively simple design for the base and an oven the apparently does not need a chimney.
5)
Mike's Brick Oven - Igloo design.
6)
Forno Bravo - Ok, so maybe with the (limited) time and (little) patience I really have, buying an oven would be a more realistic alternative. I would still have to assemble a base with the
modular option, or go the easy (and more expensive) route with the
assembled one.
7)
Superior Clay 36" Oven - Another purchase option.
