Outdoor Wood-fired Ovens Brick and cob (mix of clay, sand, and straw)
Rooted in Clay Bakery, Mobile trailer oven Ethan and Shana built this brick oven on a trailer so they could bake at other locations and events. The interior of the oven is all firebrick, with a capping of cob. This oven design allows for a continual fire to burn in a firebox to the side, while pizza bakes on a raised hearth. Pictured above, the oven is parked at Daloz CSA in Hancock, NH.
Norway Hill Kids Garden, Hancock NH This cob oven was built in the summer of 2008 with Kin Schilling and her "Garden Gorillas" group. The 6-10 year old kids participated in mixing and applying the cob over a period of 6 weeks. At the end, everyone got to enjoy wood-fired pizza with fresh veggies from the garden on top. Visit www.cornucopiaproject.org to learn more about Kin's organic gardening with children.
The Well School Ecovillage, Peterborough NH During the project weeks in May/June 2009, Shana worked with a group of 12 students from The Well School to build this brick/cob oven. A large flat rock was moved to the site and placed in the ground for the foundation. The bricks were laid over a wooden arch form, and coated with several inches of cob.
