Baking bread in a WFO with a fire still going
I have a Mugnaini WFO and find that after all the heating, when I pull out the coals, mop it down, I can usually only get about 2 bakes in before the temp gets to low (~400 or so).

One of the things I'm having fun with is learning how to use the oven to bake a variety of foods. With a WFO, this is not as easy as it may seem. There's no temperature knob on a WFO, so you can't just turn the heat up and down like in the typical kitchen range. Instead, you have to plan your baking to take advantage of the heat that you have available. This means getting the oven to a high temperature to start, and cook various things as appropriate as the temperature naturally falls.
