Building An Earth Oven With Cob Construction

- Here's the book on earth oven and cob construction that Joe recommended to me: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0967...
If you want to bake bread, dehydrate herbs, cook off-grid, survive an EMP or lower your energy usage, why not consider building a cob oven? In today's in-depth presentation on cob construction, we learn some natural building techniques from Joe Pierce of the Mosswood Farm Store in Micanopy, Florida. Learn the proper cob mix ratios, how much clay to have in cob, how to keep cob from cracking, and how to use a wood-fired oven for everything from making sourdough to generating electricity. Cob construction has been used for thousands of years - and you'll see how easy it is! This is off-grid cooking with a permaculture and sustainability mindset that uses no electricity and nothing but invasive trees and reclaimed wood. That's some great survival food preparedness, particularly when you're relegated to cooking without electricity. Primitive skills might save your life... and if not, man alive... that sourdough bread still tastes amazing baked in a wood stove.

Wow! That was a awesome tutorial ,u r by far leaps and bounds ahead of most people on intelligence and execution !Hell ya!
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations baby, you're growing up in pure nature.
Start'm young & train'm up right! A+ parenting right there
That clay looks super tasty! Now I just need to convince Mr. S that we need to build one today. Ooh wax/oil soap sealer!! I might try that!
Nice oven for sure! I have it's little brother in my backyard!
Grew up in Micanopy. Loved the old Cafe. Family owned a nice homestead in Evinston about a mile from the Micanopy border. Went to the old hardware store there with my grandfather many times.
I love that area. Good memories.
very neat oven setup.this guy knows his stuff.please show more of these info vids thanks for sharing.
Very knowledgeable. My husband and I are thinking of relocating to Marion County, FL and one of the things I want is an outdoor oven. Not this scale, but earthen all the same.
I lived near Williston, FL (about 15 miles SW of Micanopy) for 11 years and never knew this type of clay was in the area. I always seem to learn more about an area after I am moved away.
I'm wanting to build a dual chamber cob oven but on a much smaller scale. It would make a great addition to an outdoor kitchen.
+HWhit9000 They say "if you want to know about water, don't ask the fish." I know I've missed plenty in the various towns where I've lived. Alway something new to discover. I would love to see the oven you build - share photos at my site if you're so inclined!
man that was beyond i can think off ...............................i really appretiate what u do
This is an awesome video. This guy knows his shit. Damn! Very well done and very informative video. Thank you very much.
this guy's awesome.totally genius pops.
i love this guy
OK...one of the cutest kids ever! :-) ...And a really nice oven.
The sourdough Joe bakes in that monster is unbelievable.
awsome, gotta git me one of those.
Thanks for the tons of info here.🙏🏿
Awesome Video, never heard of Tadelakt lots of great info filled up two notebook pages
Excellent video DTG! That oven is The Boss.
+Righxs Thanks. I was totally impressed.
+David The Good What makes that oven so compelling is how many of the energy state transitions involved can be put to beneficial use. Whereas in a high tech oven a small percentage of energy input is transformed in the cooking process, the rest produces no benefit (i.e. it's waste).
Absolutely. The ancestors of this oven were created before the advent of cheap and abundant energy. The design is marvelously frugal.
lovely people you guys are
Thank you. We have way too much fun.
Nice jobs
Burnishing is the technique he's talking about. You rub the clay when it's leather hard and it seals it so it's not porous. You can use any smooth object. I've used a large stainless steel serving spoon. People have done this for thousands of years.
AWESOME
Cool vid!
+Allen Ash Thanks, Allen!
great vid. however i'm still looking for more specific info on making cob with local materials only (hand-made sharp sand? long dried hay instead of straw?)
I am not an expert; however, if I were in your shoes I would simply experiment with materials and see what works.
Hey,
Looking at the dimensions of the oven; do you have different temperature zones within the oven?
A friend wanted to bake different things at the same time and was wondering if we could make the oven longer with a slightly inclined roof to get different temperatures within the oven at the same time.
Thanks. Building horno this fall. Building bricks now.
Strange I had to resuscribe to your channel. This has happened several times lately! Great video! Super informative and appreciated. Ty
Thank you.
massive respect!
Thank you. Joe is the bomb.
Do you have to wait until the "clay" layer is dried before adding the cob (straw added) layer?
Mosswood store in micanopy! My sourdough starter is from him.
Cafe Risque!
I am very interested in other uses of this oven.
A sterling engine!
How hot does the outside of the oven get?
Out of dirt, what more hand outs do we need?
Advanced mud pies!🤣
In Britain cob is called "Daub" ... hence "Wattle and Daub" walls ...
I saw a small hut built that way - it was amazing.
And in America all words are based on misunderstanding the translation of the 100s of languages that mak it up. Halfbof those being native American tribal language.
is there a difference between cob and adobe ?
okay, that is far outside of the scale I'm looking for. Fantastic though. HLY $hit.
Why not add cement?
where can one find clay like this? Where did you get the delivery from?
Landscape supply places sometimes well it for baseball diamonds.
It's great that he's such an awesome dad but it doesn't improve the video.
Wait - what's wrong with the video? Not enough explosions? If so, I get that complaint a lot. I'm working on it.
What is the ratio of clay soil to sand to cob? Thank you!
Eric Downs I saw on another video that it was 4 parts sand to one part clay.
a "glay" pond? is that like feeding hogs at the waterline of a leaking pond so their hooves pack in the leaks?
+heyerstandards Yes. It's spelled "gley" and is basically a method of making a water-resistant organic surface through dropped vegetation and with the help of pigs or other animals.
What kind of material did he use again cob and what else.
Clay, sand and straw. Then built it on top of firebricks for the bottom and concrete blocks beneath to support the entire thing above the ground.
how does that hold up in the wet florida climate?
+Chris Homesteader I wondered the same thing, so I actually asked Joe in the video. He answers that question near the middle. He keeps it under the roof, which protects it; plus, he says that all the moisture gets driven from it every time it's fired... and it stays warm for a week + after firing.
+David The Good yeah I saw that after I posted. but I don't know how to delete a post after its already there.
+Chris Homesteader Heh. I just assumed you were like me and watched about 5 seconds, then said "C'mon, where are the cliff notes???" ;)
Do you need a chimney?
Yes, otherwise it will choke out. Chimney should be at the back so the air pulls through properly from the front.
I want to learn about the method described @ 9:15

Hi Christian,
Be careful with this as you can trap moisture in a wall assembly if
you are not well versed in it's use and application. I like that you
are trying to do this traditionally, but the best teachers are in the
Middle East and Mediterranean region, few speak or write English. Here
are some links that may be useful. You can also try searches with":

+Mystic Permies is the best.
Good Vid. Next time though pls don't use this cheap shaky cam software correction that twists and warps the video. Rather invest in a Tripod if you haven't by now.
It's just the camera I was using - gotta be built in. Since then I've bought a better camera and tripod.
The oven is way too small... Make it "yard sized" next time.
TOTAL OVER KILL.....
Please stop laughing, gasping dramatically and exclaiming incredulously.
Ah UA-cam... always bringing out the best in comments.
