VillaGok tandoor oven

 

After building the brick oven I had some leftover bricks and firebricks. Inspired by Robert Musa's homepage, I decided that a tandoor oven would be a nice little project - and a perfect addition since we love Indian food and naan bread!

 

I have found a few other sites with descriptions on tandoor oven building, but there is much less information available compared with brick oven building. Here is my contribution - hopefully others will be inspired to try this great way of cooking!

 

(The cooking pages will gradually be expanded as we get more experience with the oven... :-)

The finished tandoor oven!

 

I still need to make a removable top of some kind. I consider making a hexagonal roof, but until further, I just cover the oven with a tarpaulin when not in use...
