Making a mud oven

Spent one day with some friends in the village building this mud oven (25/06/07). The idea is to build up a mound of earth which you cover up with clay using paper to seperate the two. You then pull the earth out from the inside and from a pre-cut door. For cooking, you have to build up a fire and get the whole oven very hot (about 2 hours), then push the firewood to one side of the oven (or remove it completely) and put what you want to cook on the other. With the door closed, the pizza-bread-potatoes-meringues-etc cook very fast!
