wood fired oven, Horno?

Hi, I am excited to say I am planning on building some sort of outdoor wood fired oven this summer. I live in northern New Mexico and there are many Horno ovens around here ( I am pretty sure they are the traditional native american wood fired oven, at least around here ). I am wondering if anyone has experience with these and if it will work as well as a fire brick/cement oven. Any input would be great.

Thanks, Maggie

The project begins


The concrete just got poured for my wood fire oven.  So I guess I have to wait a week to let it cure then we are on.  I think someone else was going to break ground on April1.  If you did how did it go?
