Another milestone. First baked goods out of the pizza oven. It's more like a sorry, greasy excuse for a foccacia than a pizza but it sure tastes good. Then again, since this is a "black" oven which can only be used after the masonry heater fire has gone out, I might have just been hungry.
Here's the oven door open with the bread ready to remove. I used a pizza pan rather than sweeping the ash off the floor of the oven.
Finished product, cooling on top of the oven. It's your basic beer-based pizza crust, drizzled with olive oil then sprinkled with salt, pepper, crushed chilis, sesame seeds and basil. That's what happened to be sitting on the counter.
Close-up of the finished bread. Obviously a bit too much olive oil.
Currently 48F outside, 68F inside, furnace still turned off. Still running "tiny" fires, basically 2-3 typical pieces of firewood per night, split into ~ 8 sticks each 2" x 3" or so. Parts of the house are a bit cooler but nice and warm around the heater.
