I decided to model it after a brick oven I had seen beside the fireplace in a historic home in Toronto where they demonstrated the ancient Hoping for the first loaf of bread and smoked salmon My plan is to build a wood fire in the oven and get the temperature up around 500 degrees F. Let the fire burn itself out, rake out the ashes, slide in the pans of bread, close the door and wait for chemistry to produce the perfect loaf. As I said, this is my plan; I haven‘t made a trial run yet because this is a "work in progress" and I can report only on what I Architecturally renovated home on secluded treed property in fine neighbourhood south of Lakeshore Road near Appleby College.

The extremes of cold we get here in the winter dictated that I would need threeâ€"foot deep footings to get below the frost line and provide a firm base for all the brick and conâ€" crete I would build on top. The inside dimensions of the oven are 20 inches wide (to accommodate a large paella Using a wooden form for support I laid firebricks (two inches thick by 4.5 inches by nine inches) to create a floor which would act as part of the heat sink to radiate infra red as things baked. To form the sides Iâ€"made some wooden forms in the shape of an arch to supâ€" port the bricks as I laid them up starting with them flat and then curving so the top keystone would be 90 degrees to the base. Have you guessed? Right! It was a smoke chamber for meats and cheese and fish. While I was there the chef opened a door at the side by climbing a ladder and slid in a large tray of chickens. We came back to sample and they were heavenly. As the project moves along (or is regretfulâ€" ly abandoned) I will report on my success and, I hope, on the first loaf of bread and smoked salmon. I was just about to close in the top of the arch when I ran out of time. I had a flight to the west coast to tour Oregon, Washington, and B.C. for three weeks and because of what I discovered in Portland I was happy the top was not completed. There was a beautiful, very large brick oven in a restaurant that was going steadily all day with pizza. The fire was burning at the very back, much the same as the one in St. Viatur. When I got permission to inspect it carefulâ€" ly I couldn‘t locate the smoke stack. They showed me that it was right at the front and it vented into a large brick chamber and sat above the oven. That chamber had a smoke stack at the back leading up over the roof. So, now I am planning a smoke chamber above my oven at Linda‘s urging. If I had been a little more advanced with the brick work I doubt I would have wanted to chip away at the oven to make it possible to add the smoke chamber. pan), 30 inches deep and 20 inches high. From those dimensions I figured a reinforced conâ€" crete slab three inches thick and three feet by four feet would support it nicely. The slab sits on two concrete block columns resting on the footings and extending two feet above grade. That will provide me with a handy storage to keep hard wood dry for the fire.
