This book not only helps any person interested in designing and building a contra flow masonry heater / pizza oven from start to finish, but shows a number of problems the author ran into and overcame in the process. This book shows that any person with a desire can overcome any difficulty, including a lack of any kind of experience laying bricks or masonry, and successfully build a fully functional and reliable interior contra flow fire device and operational pizza oven inside your kitchen or home.
I have read this book seven or eight times. There is sound advise and good pictures to help with the visual. I'm going to build a masonry heater. Starting to collect parts now.
