oven shape

[nomnom]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a big difference between round ovens and rectangular ovens??

I want to make a commercial masonary oven but i want to make it rectangular rather than round/domed shaped.

Would it make a huge difference?

What will you use it for?

Re: oven shape

I plan to use it to bake bread mostly.

I am opening a cafe and one of my maid product will be sandwiches and I would love to make bread from a brick oven.

To give you an idea of the amount I hope to make approx 200 bread that will be approx 6 inches each in length and 3 inches in width.

Thanks.

A barrel vault is easier and faster to build. As far as performance, you can get the same results from either shape.
