 Bigger ovens
I am designing a pizza oven to be built on a rural community in south Western Australia. The oven is to serve community functions and the community is 15 households is size. We have no shortage of wood (indeed burning reduces the fire risk) or space and I would like to build a big one. Inspired by a photo of one in morocco I thought a 1.75m diameter cooking floor (three times the area recommended for a single household) would be big enough. I simply scaled the size recommended by Forno Bravo to get the following dimensions and will put the flue at the back to make the oven more accessible.
Internal diameter of oven- 1750
Internal height of oven - 650
Opening width - 790
Opening height - 460
Does anyone know much about bigger ovens? I suspect the Moroccan oven is a bread/baking oven, but hope that with insulation the oven will reach pizza cooking temperature and stay there with a decent size fire. Will it be able to do this?
Will try to post a cross section and photo of the Moroccan oven.  |
