This book is comprehensive and instructive, and infused with the enthusiasm and knowledgeability of the author which he is dying to share. I found it useful and informative and interesting reading - I just wish I had a garden big enough and enough people to feed to justify building one of the grander ovens he describes. Photography could be a bit better though, so I knocked off a star.

Whilst I havent actually gone and built a clay oven using the instructions given in the book, Ive read it thouraghly and it certainly answers all my questions relating to Earth Ovens and DIY.
It is well structured and clear.
Having researched the making of Earth Ovens, this was the book that consistantly came up trumps with reviewers.
Simple and do-able..........thats the message.

A Good Read . . .
This book is clear and easy to read. It has basic oven dimension information which should make the oven "work" 1st time rather than having a "trial and error" approach. Read more
