Hey awesome.

How does it work exactly do you raise the meat into the cavity, or just up and down a little with the embers underneath. What do you use the oven on the side for?

That is exceptional! I have not seen anything like it and the stonework is excellent. Inspirational.

Thanks Greenman, a lot of work went into those stones!!

Thanks Brendan,

The meat stays on the grill (as shown on last pic), which can be raised or lowered by a handle on the right hand side (not shown). Hot coals are spread underneath, which are transferred from the firebox area to the left, and the whole cooking area heats up nicely for slow-grilling meat.

The little oven is heated by the fire below, but it takes a while to heat up and doesn't get too hot as the slab of firebrick is 50mm thick, and the door doesn't quite seal 100%. I usually just use it as a warming oven, would need some mods if it were to be used for anything requiring higher temps. Would be nice to roast vegies in there, but it only gets up to around 100deg C , I could get it up by putting coals in there too but its not usually the focus. That part was a bit of an experiment anyway!
