At least 2 Kachelofen that they hand built. I suspect one more on the other level
Ha! Interesting.

Yeah, not sure how to find some. We could probably get a WWOOFer with skills like that. Well, I might look into this...


CalgaryChef, can you give me an idea on the cost for material so I can start saving up money?

In 2005 I helped build a clay brick oven on Vancouver Island that was similar to this one. The fellow who ran the workshop was Eckhard Buechel (not sure of the spelling???) from Germany. I'm not sure if he's still building ovens but he traveled a long way to build that one. It was big, we had about 5 people standing on top of it when it was done and it could bake 20 loaves of bread at a time.

Here's the cachelofen. I can keep the house heated down to about -10C with wood, with or without Knotley.

Stunning work!

You really need to drop a few boxes / tins of Westphalian-style pumpernickel breads in there to bake for a day or so as it cools...

Pumpernickel...that's a great idea and one I'll follow up on for sure.
