Brick and earth ovens
A place to discuss wood-fired ovens.
Can you leave stone in oven all the time?
Can I leave a baking stone on the very bottom of my oven all the time?
My heating element is in the top of my oven.
Thanks for your replies!
Petalite baking stone?
Has anyone ever heard of the mineral called "Petalite"? It's a lithium feldspar that, when used to bake, radiates infrared rays that exceed that of a stone oven. It's supposed to create really good bread! I watched "Yakitate!! Japan" to find that out. Can I really use it in clay, and more importantly, can I use it to make a mold with volcanic rock? Please help me!
rofco bread oven
Does anyone know if the Rofco bread ovens can be bought in the USA?
Does bread stuffing count?
Well, this isn't really a "loaf" post, but it does fit into the Brick and Earth Oven category -- I thought I'd post a couple of pics of the bird I baked in the WFO this T-G.
Unfortunately, I was too busy at the end of the roast to get a pic of the thing when it was done, but it came out great -- nicely brown, crisp skin, moist & tender meat.
Heating the oven. Note the lack of soot on the bricks, meaning the walls are up to baking temp, over 900°:
Parchment edibility?
So anyone else have the issue of sliding a pizza into a nice pizza-hot WFO, and finding the parchment paper either burned or partially-burned-and-glued-to-the-crust?
Thoughts?
8" utility peel
Hi everyone,
I've have a 14" metal peel with wood handle, an old weed cutter I've modified for a moving hot coals, a commercial cotton mop with wood hanle, metal snow shovel for scooping coals and a five foot long fishing gaff I've modified for a bubble popper. I'd reallu like to have a 8" utility peel but i'm having a hard time justifying paying $70.00 plus dollars for one. Does anyone know of a utility peel out there with a little more reasonable price tag?

Where is a good source for brick oven recipes?
Where is a good source for brick oven recipes? I hope to be able to use my brick oven in a few days or so and am looking for some more recipe sources. I've found a few like on Forno Bravo's web site.
Thanks,
Mark
