Well, here's a little bit about my oven, by request...
Well, like my smoker, it's a fairly crazy contraption!
I just can't help myself from experimenting with these things, so I threw this together in a few hours one Saturday last month. It's nice in that it heats up to around 800*F-900*F in a few short minutes and I can close off the burner at that point and start cooking. I also designed the firebox on this one to allow me to feed in long sticks, so I'm using it to clean up the sticks around the place while I bake my breads. It's small, but just right for a 12" pizza or a loaf of bread. I did do some fresh halibut in there the other day as well, which was fantastic.
Anyway, here it is in all it's muddy glory. Some day I'll get around to doing a nice finish and painting the barrels, but I'm too busy playing with what's possible at this point. When the burner to the oven is closed this one diverts the heat to a masonry bench for heated seating in the cool evenings. That's actually it's exhaust you see over by the other barrel. It heats the bench between the oven and the exhaust.
The oven....
The firebox....
Cooking Halibut, you can see the burner control underneath the pizza stone. I've since built a baffle that fits better....
The whole family with the main firepit unit I use for smoking in the foreground....
And a short clip of the burner in action so you can see it's potential. I've since put an insulated refractory plate as a diffuser so the pizza stone isn't getting directly blasted...
