Hello my friends... here we are already at the end of another work week... and what a great one this has been. As you know around here I wear many hats. Wife, Mom, Teacher, Baker, Chef, Bus Driver, Accountant, Lawyer, Doctor, Seamstress, Gardener, Ornithologist, and many, many more... Today I am adding to my list of duties, I am going to attempt to learn to lay rock today and that will be the base for my Earth Oven.
I am COMPLETELY excited, and nervous. I believe I told you we went and picked up rocks at my Dad's earlier this week. And now they lay out there in wait of their destiny... that being a beautiful brick oven... hopefully!
Do I know how to do this? Nope... never laid rock or brick or anything else. Do I believe I can do it? Yep!
I have always been one who if there is something out there that I want to try, I go for it, and try it... I don't let inexperience stop me!
So here I go... I am off to the hardware to get my mortar, cement, and sand and then I will get these rocks laid for the base. I will let you know how it goes of course!!!
Here is a great book that I am using as my guide, Kiko Denzer's book Build your own Earth Oven.
Have a great day friends!!!!

This oven sounds so interesting, I will certainly be watching for your updates! I have not taken the time to check out the link about building one yet, but will. Have you any experience using one or know anyone that has? Keep us posted and have fun or at least as much fun as you can have laying rocks!

Sounds like fun to me!

We push it with our cat, Cougar.
