I am trying to find someone who would be willing to come down to help our intergenerational project build a clay oven for our community allotment. Can you do this? Or do you know someone who can. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks Nicola 07845 979024 Hi – I run a community schools project in Margate in Kent.

In the end I just bought a cheap domestic oven thermometer which, as you said, goes up to about 300 degrees C. When you put it in your oven you will see that the needle goes well past the 300 mark but you can still judge the temperature still by increments. Practically these thermometers work fine anyway. When you cook Pizza you want to fire the oven up to the highest temperature it will go - you'll soon learn when it is hot enough but anything over 300 will be fine. When cooking meat or bread your oven needs to be cooler than 300 degrees C otherwise you'll burn the food to a crisp. Best of luck.

The next step to do is the insulating layer. I am beginning to plan for the day, a couple of weeks away probably, when I can fire it up. I can't currently find details of a thermometer which measures up to high enough, most only do to 300 degrees C. I know that I have seen something on the web before about this but can't find it now. Any ideas? Andrew Hi, I am well into the construction of a clay oven in the garden at home, following your guidelines and those from the River Cottage book.
