    I’m building an EARTH OVEN to do my baking. VERY easy to build. Can take it up to very high heat for making wood fired pizza’s, as it cools can bake breads, as it cools more can bake other things then one temp drops more can dehydrate. When done making pizza, for example, you can put in a cast iron pot (dutch oven) of beans or stew or whatever and by morning it is ready to eat. MANY options for baking/cooking with earth oven.
    Made of clay, hay (like an adobe/cob type mixture for oven itself. Base I’m making out of concrete blocks filled with sand and glass bottles filled with sand then top off with sand then your firebricks. Can use the old timey SOLID bricks instead of fire bricks as they were fired at extreme temps & serve as a high heat brick. Got mine by tearing down an old fireplace on an old homestead. Was a bit of work and people wanted it tore down so I did it and payment was to haul off bricks WHICH I GLADLY TOOK!
    Many villages in some countries have a community EARTH OVEN where they all have their allotted time to do their baking. Indians also used this method for baking as well.
    Can google EARTH OVEN or there are many YouTubes on how to build them.
