Howdy!
My family has settled into a remote valley in the foothills of the Himalayas. While Indian food is heavenly, chapatis and rice can only go so far with our American appetites. We crave pizza! We need bread!
My husband loves to bake and I know he would salivate over a traditional bread/pizza oven. He travels to America for work and is there for 10 weeks at a time so I would love to build him an oven while he is gone.
A couple region specific questions;
Wood; Because wood here is extremely expensive, I was originally thinking of trying to make something with gas which is relatively cheap. But after reading through the cautions in this forum I should rethink the wood. But to give me an idea of what we would be getting into- how much wood is typically used in a firing?
Monsoon; It is not here for long, but it can get a little wet when it visits. Most of the homes here are made from mud so I imagine it is pretty resilient, but is there anything I should consider when it comes to VAST amounts of water?
Thanks for your help. I am excited to get started!
