Wood Fired Oven

Over a year ago, the director of The Homestead Museum (or whatever it's called now) approached Jason about building them a wood fired oven similar to his pizza oven. Jason gave him a bid, but they didn't have the funding to do it. Last spring they finally got the money, so Jason got started on the oven.




This picture below is right after he got it put into place. The oven was poured at home in our garage in sections and moved over the the museum to be finished.


After many, many hours and more time and money than we thought it was going take....

the finished product! I think it turned out awesome. It's WAY bigger than our oven. I could lay inside of this one. The roof was the project of an Eagle scout.
Even though it turned out to be more of a donation than a money maker, he learned a lot by doing it and the community can enjoy it for years to come, probably mostly for baking breads. And it's pretty cool to have a piece of Jason's work in a museum!
