/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Been looking into making one of these "pech" brick indoor ovens, but people who know are tight-lipped about this.

The idea is that the hot gases are routed throughout for maximum efficiency and heat dissipation, and what little smoke is sent to the chimney is completely cool.

These have been around probably for thousands of years but bricklayers are still chasing people away from conduction sites so they couldn't watch them build one.

We're on electric heat and lose power sometimes, so I'm looking to put one of these together, but can't seem to find good plans anywhere.

I've cobbled together something in sketchup based on a bunch of different designs, but it probably won't work very well.

Any ideas?
