Man Keeps Pizza Oven Fired Up 24/7, 'Just In Case Friends Stop In'

I just complete my adobe pizza oven and ofcourse a few modifications over the real horno oven used by the indians in Northern New Mexico. Really cooks great and I learn each time I fire up the oven. Have cooked Pizzas of all kinds of topping, old world loafs of bread and lasagna in a dutch oven. I believe it makes better tasting pizze than other gas or electric ovens. I see Julian has his oven raised up on a platform. I did almost the same thing but use a wall of lava rocks and filled in the center for a the base of brick and walled in by the adobe brick and mud. then covered with a layer of mortar which then was cover with stucco.

Regarding earlier comment " It's just that I can't get the pie far enough from the flame and embers"

I use a few pieces of heavy sheet steel , 12 inches long, that I bent into a 90 degree angle, 4 inches to each side. In a tee-pee position, I slide them into place right into the side of the fire that I maintain in the back of the oven.

I use them in both my ovens here at home. It allows me to get my pies, or whatever, a little bit closer to the fire without burning.

Where are the photos Chef Robert? Oven and pies. Any good Naopletana pizza in the Santa Fe or Taos area? I'd love to open a place there some day. It is truely the Land of Enchantment.
