Puff the Cob Dragon


Not satisfied with one bread oven, my husband decided we needed a traveling oven. He bought a trailer for the truck and we built Puff in a friend’s back yard. I supervised the cob mixing and building while some children and Steve made dragon models and drawings. We did the happy hippie method of mixing - barefoot stomping on a tarp. There are three layers of mud, each with a different recipe. The center layer has the most straw for insulation. The walls are not as thick as a permanent land based oven, conserving some weight. Aaron made some awesome pizza, and John made several loaves of bread. Puff may still get a layer of color and lime wash. We have yet to test out how well Puff withstands a trip.
