Build Your Own Barrel Oven is the name of a book I just heard about, and it certainly sounds interesting. If speed is your thing, and you don't want to wait a few hours for your earth oven to heat up for bread baking, then consider a barrel oven. The author's claim that only after a 15-20 minute firing, the oven is ready for bread baking, and that I find quite impressive. Probably I'll download a pdf so I can read the book. I'd sure like to hear from you if you've had experience with this type of oven.
