Do the two doors cover the opening or do you only one door to cover the opening? If one door covers the opening I think that you put them both in the opening and two doors help retain more heat than just a single door. That is a real prize!

I should have photographed it. M Odom, it takes more than luck! I searched 5 years for a house I could afford that had all the parts I wanted, then spent years getting it into livable shape. Beatriz, when we have the oven day(s) you will have to bring your little cook and we'll learn together how to use it. Gil, they have a handle centered on the outsiude so you could not use both.

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:40:33 +0000 http://www.judithgreenwood.com/thinkonit/my-400-year-old-wood-burning-oven/#comment-3679 I have just spent a sneaky and most enjoyable half an hour catching up on your blog. Reading about this wonderful oven, (I\'m not at all jealous), cheeky cats, potatoes and the rain, thankfully now abated. Best of all my summer 2008 look, maybe those red pants! What do you think, would they suit me? If I eat the gorgeous Gorgonzola potatoes, will they fit me??? So many questions so little time;) I have just spent a sneaky and most enjoyable half an hour catching up on your blog.

While Mike above wonders how if you know how lucky you are, I wonder if the oven knows how lucky it is to have you as its cook.

Or even setting up a pizza restaurant in your garden? Once, when I was upon in the mountains near Cogne, staying in a little village, I saw this wonderful communal oven. Every so often the villages inhabitants got together and had a mass bread baking day. Great idea. Talk about community spirit. The more you use that oven, the more popular you will become, I reckon! Have you tried baking potatoes in it yet? Have fun - a great thing to have around, although it must get hellishly hot in there when the thing is going at full blast.
