 Oven opening into room or not?
What's the feasability of having the oven opening into a room? We've just finished framing a sunroom and I'm thinking of adding a 42" Pompeii oven on the backside of the room, with the oven opening coming into the room. I like the idea of using the oven year-round without having to put on snow boots, but I do have a few concerns:
Is there anything I should worry about with the construction design as it ties into the wall framing?
Is it wise to fire an oven that could possibly be in below zero weather for a long period of time? Will the mortar/bricks crack?
Will the oven generate so much heat in the room that it will be unbearable in summer?
Can the oven be used as a fireplace of sorts for heating/ambience?
Thanks in advance for your help. Wisconsin winter is on the way so I'll have plenty of time to plan before construction can begin.
