Hi everyone! My name is Matt and i live in Droitwich Spa. What a great forum, this is just what i was looking for as i am building (trying to build!) a clay oven and i have never took on a job like this before so it's great to have somewhere where i can ask my dumb questions. I have ordered the book that i have seen a lot of people recommend: Build Your Own Earth Oven by Kiko Denzer but its estimated delivery date is the middle of October, but at the moment i'm busy making the base. I came across the website below and i have used the same idea for my base but i've modified it a bit so it will finish up looking like the picture in the second link below: www.greeningofgavin.com/2011/07/cob-oven-base-part-2.htmlclayoven.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/oven-2.jpgI'll stick a picture up when i have the base built (hopefully this weekend) Cheers, Matt

Very similar to my base but I made a solid square ( with hind sight I would have like a wood hole and a gap at the bottom to just rake the ashes straight into.) I filled my base with sand and bottles so I reckon the insulation is fantastic!!! Good luck with your build oh and prepar to drop some weight puddling that mud!!
