A Covered, Wood Fired Oven in a Bamboo Grove

Recently the monks installed a new wood fired oven, which we currently use a few times a month for pizza and pasta. However it also serves the purpose of an emergency oven, in case of a hurricane for example. Up until now this new oven has been covered by a rather dilapidated tent, but over the retreat our four yogis got together and assembled this Gazebo to cover it. This nice wooden and aluminium structure can be ordered with all the parts pre cut and ready for assembly. After a few days of work the structure was complete and just in time for our monthly pizza night!

Yogi Mayurantha observes the new structure. It was his creative spark that initiated this improvement

Yogi Adinatha helps too, utilizing his wealth of construction expertise

Looking good!
