Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I've found straw makes it much stronger - there's a lot of people that like a pure clay oven and others that think straw makes it stronger and less likely to crack. My current oven has a small amount of straw in the thermal mass and seems to be fine.
:You_Rock_ Hehehehehheh
That would make it more of an excremental project! Perhaps we should build two, one as a 'control'. The intention of the class is, of course, repeatable results. Ha, spot the Science teacher.
I have half a tub of refractory cement I maybe able to squeeze into the car if you think your struggle .

Presumably the straw will absorb some of the cracking and we can build the heat up over a day or so to get to pizza/ bread heat? Or do you just fire it hot straight away?
"The solid geology is largely masked inland by a capping of glacial drift deposits of the Pleistocene period, approximately 18,000 years ago, exposed as boulder clay around Kenfig, Maudlam and inland of Sker towards Parc Newydd farm."

I was telling the landlady at our local- they specialise in locally shot food, beautifully cooked (but not at my budget unfortunately 
) so she's asked for loads of pics incase they decide to put one there and I want to try sell the idea to our local meeters too since HS2 wil be demolishing part of it anyways... so I'll hopefully get a few and paste em up

:/ not so good. What is the grid reference for your area?

I'm sorry you feel that way, we're very rural and have many local food traditions- the farmers often supply the pub and its done with respect. Or is it the HS2 that the :/ is for? Both areas have strong clay underfoot and would be ideal
