The Urban Earth Oven: Using a 4' tractor tire foundation, cob was used to raise the floor and to build an air intake/burner port in the back of the oven. With a simple design, the thick slip-straw and cob insulation keeps this oven hot!

The Olmo Oven: This oven was designed to burn and bake with the door closed. An air intake/fire box was incorporated into the design which feeds up into a grate in the floor opposite from the chimney. To see more of the Olmo Oven, go to www.fromtheeath.info. |

The Dragon Oven: A true fire breathing dragon, the chimney was vented through the nose. While the oven was eventually plastered like the rest of the wall, I had fun playing around with clay paints. To see "Building the Dragon", you can go to www.fromtheearth.info. |

The Steele Oven: We decided to put the chimney on the back of the oven so it could vent through the low part of the roof. The flue is controlled with two damper systems, one on the pipe and one at the base. When a cob firing door is put into place, this oven takes off like a rocket! Still a work in progress, the cinder blocks will be covered with mosaics and plaster. |

The P&H Oven: This oven is still a work in progress. Built at Peas & Harmony organic garden, it is the first stage of building an outdoor kitchen (notice the straw bale wall/counter). To learn more about Peas & Harmony you can go to www.peasandharmony.com |

The Santa Cruz Oven: This oven was built during a workshop in Santa Cruz. This is a great example how ovens can be integrated into compact spaces. Wedged into a corner, the oven becomes the focal point in this backyard patio. From walking down the back alley to stepping out the back door, you are greeted by the oven and you feel compelled to gather in the space. |
