Improvements to the brick ovens I build often are the result of a new or different location challenge.

This most recent build required that I build the oven core outside before opening the wall between the oven mouth and the room in which the bakers would work.
The result, which I may carry forward in future projects, was a three arch design. It also resulted in a keystone design that is new to me (few masonry designs are new to history).
