My Japanese pizza oven #3

I started to build it and made it tall and tried to make internal
chamber as big as I can with few bricks I have: no more firebricks in
store and not enough time to order.

Here was my first oven

It is down and in bricks form again: my LEGO pizza oven: I am going to
build a better one just behind the corner.

My first pizza oven in Japan

After two years I am back to Kyoto and my oven survived :-) A few
internal blocks were removed for other projects but it looked OK from
outside. I have to move it to a new location so...

Cold weather pizza

As you can see, pie turns almost all right, but it was not bubling,
like in better weather: I was not able to crank my oven up.

Starting wood burning oven in cold and wet weather

Yes, season is over, but when there is no rain over week end , public
demand pizza.

To start the fire more efforts is needed: use driest wood you got to
start and split it thin. I even use light fluid when wood is realy wet.

To keep fire, paradoxsicaly you need to open more than in warm
weather: even so heat will escape, but wet wood needs more air to
realease smoke. If you close the door even half way , oven may chock.

Take more time and work hard: it is still posiable !

I did it last week end: next post will show some pizza and smoked fish
I made!
