Small Beehive Oven Design

[rhammer]

Dear Forno Bravo Folks,

Is it possible to build a small beehive "clay" oven like the ones being sold by retailers such as Al Fresco Imports, Williams-Sonoma, Forno Bravo (I am too new to post URL's but see the FB Primavera).

I understand that there might be a number of drawbacks to this oven but I would like to attempt it, if I can find plans/instructions. I have access to a large kiln that I could use to fire the oven or its two nested domes if necessary. I am not interested in building a clay/straw oven but would like to use clay and refractory materials instead.

Any suggestions that anyone has will be greatly appreciated.

More later,

Roger
