Grew up in Micanopy. Loved the old Cafe. Family owned a nice homestead in Evinston about a mile from the Micanopy border. Went to the old hardware store there with my grandfather many times.

I love that area. Good memories.

Nice oven for sure! I have it's little brother in my backyard!

That clay looks super tasty! Now I just need to convince Mr. S that we need to build one today. Ooh wax/oil soap sealer!! I might try that!

very neat oven setup.this guy knows his stuff.please show more of these info vids thanks for sharing.

Very knowledgeable. My husband and I are thinking of relocating to Marion County, FL and one of the things I want is an outdoor oven. Not this scale, but earthen all the same.

Wow! That was a awesome tutorial ,u r by far leaps and bounds ahead of most people on intelligence and execution !Hell ya!

I lived near Williston, FL (about 15 miles SW of Micanopy) for 11 years and never knew this type of clay was in the area. I always seem to learn more about an area after I am moved away. I'm wanting to build a dual chamber cob oven but on a much smaller scale. It would make a great addition to an outdoor kitchen.

+HWhit9000 They say "if you want to know about water, don't ask the fish." I know I've missed plenty in the various towns where I've lived. Alway something new to discover. I would love to see the oven you build - share photos at my site if you're so inclined!

man that was beyond i can think off ...............................i really appretiate what u do

Burnishing is the technique he's talking about. You rub the clay when it's leather hard and it seals it so it's not porous. You can use any smooth object. I've used a large stainless steel serving spoon. People have done this for thousands of years.

this guy's awesome.totally genius pops.

This is an awesome video. This guy knows his shit. Damn! Very well done and very informative video. Thank you very much.

awsome, gotta git me one of those.

+David The Good What makes that oven so compelling is how many of the energy state transitions involved can be put to beneficial use. Whereas in a high tech oven a small percentage of energy input is transformed in the cooking process, the rest produces no benefit (i.e. it's waste).

Absolutely. The ancestors of this oven were created before the advent of cheap and abundant energy. The design is marvelously frugal.

Hey, Looking at the dimensions of the oven; do you have different temperature zones within the oven? A friend wanted to bake different things at the same time and was wondering if we could make the oven longer with a slightly inclined roof to get different temperatures within the oven at the same time.

Nice jobs

Thanks. Building horno this fall. Building bricks now.

@davidthegood

I am not an expert; however, if I were in your shoes I would simply experiment with materials and see what works.

Do you have to wait until the "clay" layer is dried before adding the cob (straw added) layer?

Cool vid!

Out of dirt, what more hand outs do we need?

How hot does the outside of the oven get?

okay, that is far outside of the scale I'm looking for. Fantastic though. HLY $hit.

where can one find clay like this? Where did you get the delivery from?

Clay, sand and straw. Then built it on top of firebricks for the bottom and concrete blocks beneath to support the entire thing above the ground.

Why not add cement?

how does that hold up in the wet florida climate?

+Chris Homesteader I wondered the same thing, so I actually asked Joe in the video. He answers that question near the middle. He keeps it under the roof, which protects it; plus, he says that all the moisture gets driven from it every time it's fired... and it stays warm for a week + after firing.

Yes, otherwise it will choke out. Chimney should be at the back so the air pulls through properly from the front.

I like that you are trying to do this traditionally, but the best teachers are in the Middle East and Mediterranean region, few speak or write English. Here are some links that may be useful. You can also try searches with": التدلكت التقليدية or tadelakt tradizionale www.puretadelakt.com/ www.earthpigments.com/products/index.cfm?product_id=129 www.mikewye.co.uk/Tadelakt_Training_Course2.htm tadelakttradizionale.blogspot.com/ www.tadelakt.it/ limeworks.us/ www.rosendalecement.net/index.html Regards, jay
