Woodburning chiminea come pizza oven

Well, I finally got my chiminea/woodburning pizza oven!

I would have got it earlier in the summer, but we had to get a three piece suite first (don’t ask!), and we ordered one of those last Saturday! (Hooray!)

I bought it from these people – certainly the cheapest I could find on the net at £158.99:

And, as we were passing close by on the way home from visiting my son and his family, we collected it and saved £30 delivery costs.

I’ve put it together and it now sits happily in my garden awaiting its first firing – hopefully tomorrow. I’m told I need to fire it a couple of times before I bake any bread in there – I wonder if I’ll be able to resist! 

Saturday:


I had to finish a few chores first, but finally got around to fixing the door on this afternoon and lighting my first fire:

Just a small fire to start with - not sure about the location, though - just outside the kitchen door..

And here it is in the barbecue mode. No bread yet, but I'll get  a couple more fires going over the next couple of days - and then we'll get cracking!
