Wood-Fired Brick Oven
Generic
A catch-all entry for unbranded, self-built or inherited masonry ovens. Pick this if your oven is a brick or refractory dome fired with wood and you cannot find the exact model. The numbers here describe a typical garden dome of roughly one metre: high thermal mass, about 90 minutes to saturate, and a floor that recovers almost instantly between bakes. Adjust the temperature to what your own deck actually reads.

How this oven bakes
Give the deck the full 90 min. Air temperature lies. The stone is slower.
If the base burns before the top is done, drop bottom heat or swap to biscotto.
