Hi
I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and downloaded the Pompeii instructions. We're planning on building our oven late spring/early summer next year.
We already have a cast iron pizza oven, not perfect for the job, but we want to cook FOOOOOOD as well as pizza. Long, slow casseroles and bread as well.
My sons and I have several volunteers to help us. The worst problem I can see at the moment is that we have no access to the back of the house, so if we hire a cement mixer we will have to run it at the front (the drive slopes, so won't be easy) and barrow it through the garage.
Have been looking at all the pics of so many beautiful ovens on this site, we have a few ideas for design (keep it simple) but I'm sure they will change over time. We'll definitely be taking lots of pics of progress once we start.
Oh, and best wishes for Thanksgiving - that's tomorrow, isn't it?
