Hi all!
A while back I posted some photos of brick ovens built at Port Arthur, Tasmania, which was a convict settlement/prison. I went back earlier this year and have been looking through my photos of this one oven that I would love to recreate (as I think I need to build a second oven in the back yard)
I have attached some pics and dimensions as far as I can figure them out. Love to hear any advice on how to build this - the layout is straight forward, a rectangular oven with rough arched roof and tapered entry. I am interested in this design because it is so small, and I'd love to have something I can fire up more quickly for small family meals and a few loaves, as opposed to the big pizza monster.
My main questions are - what kind of buttressing might be needed to support those walls, assuming they are single brick?
And how would you go about building the arch - maybe that ties into the wall buttresses?
Also any other advice appreciated!
