  Your earliest posts inspired my COVID project of finally building a wood fired oven on our patio in Ohio. I started last June 2020 and adhered to professional standards. I finished in September. Then I realized the oven was a pro chef tool... I then spent a couple months learning how to bake and cook using Stone Age tech. I ruined a lot of food, drank a lot of good wine and emerged with an understanding beyond my wildest hopes. This oven has changed my life. It has slowed me down and I have drawn a feeling of peace and confidence from the process. I understand wood now and how it must be respected and used. I know now the chemistry of baking. I have discovered a new way of involving my friends and enjoying their reactions as they see and live the process with me.  In the beginning I just thought it would be cool to make a pizza. Now I have gained a rich understanding of how our ancestors lived and enjoyed their lives. What I thought was a hobby has become a lifestyle. Thank you for your posts. You have helped change my life for the better.  Viva le internet!

  Im not even interested in fire cooking or buiding a wood oven, but I watched this video thoroughly and I can't even comprehend how or why I enjoyed it so much. Subscribed.

  I am planing to construct my wood-fired oven. I am an automation engineer and theoretically prepared to do a good one. Our family&apos;s career in construction hope would contribute to do it with great potential.<br>Thanks for posting such a wonderfull video. Please keep sharing with us your posts and experiences.<br>Cheers from Lebanon<br>Mazen

  At the very lowest heat you can use the oven to keep yoghurt at a maintained temperature. &nbsp;Here in the far East of Finland people also use the oven at the lower temperatures to bake rye crisp breads and make rye porridge. I use my oven to heat my kettle for a nice hot cup of tea. &nbsp;Heat retaining ovens are part of the culture of the Karelian regions of Russia and Finland. &nbsp; They keep the homes warm and provide hot water if you keep a kettle in them. &nbsp;Also in cold times you can cook up the chickens food in it too!

  В том доме где я родился был огромная печь . Слева &nbsp;была маленькая топка &nbsp; &nbsp;внутри теплообменник для парового отопления , сверху чугунная плита с двумя отверстиями. Дом из двух срубов , 6/6 и 5/6. Эта печь стояла где комната 5/6 и занимала огромное место. Посередине печи огромная глубокая духовка . &nbsp;Перед духовкой , перед крышкой духовки , то есть перед огнём бабушка пекла вначале блины ( они были толстые , не как сейчас) Она затапливала печь в воскресенье рано утром , и только с берёзы. Мы детвора, просыпались на ароматный запах блинов . Затем в конце она топила печь осиновыми дровами . Уже где-то в обед убирала полностью золу и загружала туда треугольники ( большие 4-5 штук в одной сковороде . 4 сковородки за раз). Потом пекла каравай, тоже несколько. В конце загружала беляш на одну сковородку из гуся. На верху духовки была лежанка. Эти дни запомнились как праздник 1976-90.

  Thank you for this video. It&apos;s the first one I&apos;ve found that goes into detail about the cooking cycle! Your presentation is lovely, relaxing, and informative.
