The Pizza Oven

Image
Sanders on KI - Pizza Oven In the same way the kitchen is the heart of a home,   in Tasmania we found our pizza oven was the heart of our outside world so  Graham was very keen to build our new pizza oven here in Kangaroo Island. Memories from  Our Tassie Pizza Wall of Fame. It was so much more than being fabulous for cooking all sorts of things - pizza of course, Montreal style bagels, roasts, stews, deserts, and of course our annual Christmas Pig in the Pizza Oven.  Just watching the fire flicker, or the gentle glow of coals not only provided warmth and ambiance  it kept us outside in all seasons. THE PROJECT The location was not all about the view. Graham considered where the predominant winds came from and the best angle for the oven, then once the decision was made, the collection of rocks started. Then he prepared the land for the base.  He measured the footprint, dug out the ground, and spread gravel and sand, to prepare for the pavers.
