Well done and great to see recycled goods being put to good use. Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 6Feb 08, 2009 7:14 pm What a great job, it is great to see someone recycling old building material. How about a baked fish?
Cheers PP Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 7Feb 08, 2009 7:28 pm I reckon we should all suggest the best meal that Steve can cook in this new born pizza oven that requires 2 ton of firewood to get going so he can plan a all weekend party around it.
My suggestions Baked marinated whole fillets if kanagroo (marinade is wosteshire sauce, soy, chilli and garlic) Baked leg of lamb - spiked with garlic and rosmary) Beef roast - wholegrain mustard rubbed on the outside Fish - as suggested above - I reckon rainbow trout with lemon and butter in foil would be nice) sweet potato Pumpkin - drizzle honey over near the latter 3/4 of the way through it baking Corn on the cob swedes - no not those northern people potatoes au gratin Whole onions and some nice salads to round it all up. yum Time to start chopping that firewood ;D Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 8Feb 08, 2009 10:14 pm I forgot to mention that we grow our own Beef, Goat and chickens and I am a very keen fisherman....Mmmmm I can cook whilst the guests do my house building work for me , 3 months cooking and the house should be finished I would guess .
Steve Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 9Feb 08, 2009 10:19 pm Loving the photos Steve. Doing a great job of making me home sick! Was born in good old Pambula and grew up in Eden. Family still all around, including an Aunt whom works at Bega Cheese.
Should drop in when I am down that way in a few weeks for dinner (Dont worry - I think the only thing we will want after 18hrs driving is a bed!!) Brody Mother of 3 children, 2 dogs and a husband. Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 10Feb 08, 2009 10:24 pm Fantastic effort Steve! Great write up too.
I particularly like the oven door. Nice touch mate. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. You deserve it. Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 13Feb 09, 2009 8:01 am Thank you all for such positive feed back, I hope it encourages the building of a few more ovens. I think wood ovens are the new BBQ (without the smoke), it is a really social way to cook and eat, I just love it and am very pleased that I built this one. They are really quite easy to build and as I have shown, using salvaged materials it can be relatively inexspensive. Thanks again
Steve Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 14Feb 09, 2009 8:25 am Looks fantastic!! Can I ask, did you just use any sort of bricks? I thought I read somewhere that you needed to use some special kind of brick for the floor of the oven.
Steve I hope it encourages the building of a few more ovens. We've got one planned too!! Can't wait, but it will be well down the track, after the house is finished! Thanks for the inspiration 'chelle We have a hand-over date...15/10...but I won't hold my breath! http://people-in-glass-houses.blogspot.com/ Re: Wood fired oven - built with salvaged materials 15Apr 18, 2009 4:10 pm My daughter and son in law are about to start building, they are having a 600mm induction cook top and 900mm oven. It's personal preferance 5 12985 That's a fantastic result! Happy you got it sorted out. cheers Simeon 6 8896 in the stormwater pit or the drain? Those dont look like theyd fit in the drain. Separately, the pits do get stuff in them during the course of the build. For the most… 1 8165 |
