Dusty's Bread Oven

We have built a bread oven at the learning center. The oven is built by welding a door on to the end of a steel oil drum. The oil drum is then laid on a foundation of bricks and sealed with sand and mud. It is heated by lighting a fire beneath the oil drum. A temperature between 300 degrees and 400 degrees Fahrenheit is easy to maintain. The oven can hold six 9 by 13 cake pans at one time, which can produce many cakes, breads and rolls per day.
