Well, I think I've mentioned several of the bread related files in
the Florilegium already. You might also find some of the comments
in the ovens-msg and the camp-ovens-msg files to be interesting.

And if you are going to be at Pennsic this next August there are
one or more camps, including one over by Master Cariadoc's Enchanted
Grounds which build beehive ovens each year and then bake bread
in them.

Some folks have also been known to build similar structures and
to smelt iron in them. However, they do differ from the bread ovens
in a few details...:-)
