andre, during the baking process, that needs about one hour, i take out the ready charred twigs -otherwise they transform to ash- and let the yet burning and half charred pieces inside, and give the new twigs on them, so i have no interruption of the fire…the bigger pieces need a longer time for charring, meanwhile the finer twigs are quicker ready…so i take aprox 3/4 part of the coal out before giving new twigs on…the ready coal i give in the milk can, with lid on, so the coal stops to burn further…very energy efficient i would say, because energy for coaling is used for baking the bread, and than remains in one year about a volume of 1000 liters of best and ready sized motor coal for my little engines…we bake every week…
a quick method for making motor coal from twigs from pruning trees and firewood cutting i have described in one of my topics…
Charcoal from twigs…simple, quick and effective without smoke - Small Engines / Charcoal Gasification - Drive On Wood!
30 years ago i baked with a bread oven made of bricks like this you like to build…it needs really a pile of wood to heat it up…yes, you have than during the whole day a oven with declining heat to bake several things, like kristijan described the traditional use…
but if you will make spontaneous some pizza or others, it has too much consume…and needs some hours to achieve the right heat…
so i decided, when making my bread stove, to make it in this way…
now i have the twigs all under a roof and take them with a fork, but before i have had the twigs in bundles , diameter 50 cm, lenght around 60 or 65 cm, pressed with the bundle making “machine”,bended with a string…from this bundles i needed only two for bread baking, no paragone to the traditional bricks bread oven…
