[Sca-cooks] Traveling pizza ovens

[Terry Decker]

You don't need to use clay to hold the bricks together.  The ancient 
Egyptians built stack ovens (where the bricks are merely stacked together to 
produce a heat retaining mass) for small scale baking.  IIRC, there is an 
illustration in David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery (Hess edited 
edition).

Hi Mercy,

There's a travelling pizza oven that comes to the Ferry Building Farmers 
Market http://www.pizzapolitana.com/

There also used to be a lady here who had a bread oven on a trailer that she 
would sometimes bring to events, but I haven't seen her around for awhile.

Ana de Serra build to temporary brick oven at the cooks playdate at the West 
An Tir War several years ago. The site owner let us leave the bricks there, 
so theoretically we could do it again if someone brought a bucket of clay 
:-)

One of these days I'm going to build a non-portable outdoor clay oven in my 
back yard. Very steep back yard, so it is a logistically daunting project 
:-)

I was watching Eat St on Cooking and saw this segment on Veraci Pizza in 
Washington. It looked very yummy, but what caught my eye especially was 
their portable pizza oven.

Here is their website:

They said it gets up to 1000 degrees and the pizza cooks in about 90 
seconds. However the oven weights 3000 pounds and it's on the back of a 
trailer. They use applewood to fire it.

I just thought that set up would be so awesome for events and wars. Thought 
I would share the idea.
