It was a Maine morning of slush, ice, snow and general glop, but there was work to do.
After the tarps were pulled off, I insulated the oven with cellulose and then covered the top with a spiffy metal roof.
Where there are some small gaps and imperfections in the oven facade, these will be filled with bread dough. I did say this oven would not need mortar or mud, but I didn't say anything about dough.There is still work to be done on the tongue, a door must be constructed, as well as a heat shield and something has to be done about the nude plywood. Maybe cedar shingles or simply paint.

My best friend has had a brick oven in her house for a long time now. And, to protect it from rain and snow, she built a wooden shelter around it. She also had a wooden roof on top of it and covered it with asphalt shingles to help the shelter withstand even the most extreme winter conditions.
This oven was a bad experiment. Incorporating wood into an oven is not a good idea.
