Here is our friend Michelle this summer making a cob oven on her vacation at Metta Earth in Vermont.
Why not have your own cob oven?
It doesn’t last as long as a masonry oven but who needs it to last that long?
By the time the cob one wears out you’ll want to “redecorate” or try something new anyway.

This oven encompasses unsurpassable wood energy baking, cob, and the DIY philosophy. Not only that, it cost less than $20. (The firebricks were the only significant cost at $1 each.)
Here I am stomping clay and sand to make bricks for the Cob Oven. Hard work, but really satisfying. Cob oven eventually gets heated and fire is taken out then oven stays hot for days–to bake bread, pizza–never used it though–it has to dry–next time I go! Those of you who don’t know about my escapades–a week of daily self-guided yoga, group meditation, eat, work on farm, eat, work, eat go to sleep. It was great! Love Misch
