Under Cover Brick Ovens

Stone building by TBO for the 54" oven at Pietree Orchard

Living in New England, I am a proponent of under-cover brick ovens.   The picture we have in our minds of brick ovens is often generated by images from California, where you can live if you have the "dough, ray, me".

On the other hand, I find life here in Maine quite sane and sanity in our climate calls for a roof, at least, and some walls, in winter.
The value of a shelter can be estimated by this calculation: ovens I've built under cover get used 30 times more often than ones in backyards.  Just a hint...
