The Oven has been fired!

We are thrilled beyond belief and yes . . . I cried. Enjoy - Kath & Tom

I held my breath as I put the flame to the paper.

The Juniper caught fast and smells wonderful! 

The first fire burned about one hour and we spread the coals.
Tomorrow I'll start another fire and move it around the baking chamber.

It's hard to see, but the smoke is coming out!
