Portable Oven

Today I made a dry stacked, portable brick oven that can be quickly assembled. It sits on simple saw horses, and it's constructed with 92 red bricks. The oven will be used at the grand opening of the Moor St. community garden in Waterville, Maine on Sunday, July 18 and on subsequent events. Free pizza, drinks and deserts. Everyone is welcome. Come at noon.

French Pizza Oven

While recently in France I noticed this neat oven insert that will really crisp the bottom of your pizza, fast. Such a simple device, I wish I had thought of it myself.
You simply place the insert over a pile of fiery coals and place your pizza on top. Next time, I'll try to get a photo of the pizza resting on top.
