I didnt see the program but i'll try and catch a repeat of it. Can you use the oven as a tandoor for doing naan breads do you think? I'd love one of those!

Isn't a tandoori oven concave (like a hollowed out dome turned upside down)?
Don't think you'd get the naan bread to stick to the side of the oven as it would fall into the embers, surely? Probably burn yourself trying to get it stuck to the wall of the pizza oven - or am I thinking of something else

I thought just that when I saw the programme - I'm planning one for next summer!!!! It look quite easy to make - though where I'll get enough clay from I dont know - they had 4 buckets of it!!!

cant wait though. I love the programme.

Might just pretend to live n takeaways and get myself on it lol

Where would you get the clay from? I thought maybe arty shops - I'm thinking potters wheel. Maybe ask the local college? Any ideas?

I love it too, but I'm suspicious about the tepees and the 'compost loo' - there was a woman a couple of weeks ago who could never have looked so fresh and uncrumpled (she mostly wore white floaty things) if she was sleeping in a teepee and showering out of doors, let alone all the slap she had on her face. But I still think it's brilliant, and certainly plan to make the oven. Can anyone remember what proportion of clay to sand ?
