I thought I would share with you all my out side kitchen
I needed a proper home for my tandoor and I have always thought having a WFO would be fun
Im also going to have a deep fat fryer and a big burner to cook on
I wanted it big enough to be able to prepare food inside and not going back and forth in the house
So there also will be a sink in there and a fridge freezer
As you can see not quite there yet but by this weekend it should be water tight and really no reason why I cant have ago in the WFO
Even better when in full use for tandoor and curry cooking
Cheers Michael
-
OK Michael, I'll ask. What's a WFO?
Looking good btwfrtsys :)
-
Wood Fired Oven... or by the looks of it, Wide Freakin' Open... ;) :D
Bloody good work there Michael.
-
Yes onions you got it :)
At the moment you can cook pizzas inside but once insulated it will ( that's what they say) stay hot for 24hrs so you can bake in it when the heat comes down
Im not a big pizza fan but I think its gonna be fun to cook in
-
Excuse my ignorance. When's the shed-warming party?
-
I get asked that question a lot Garp ;D
Its been ongoing for a few months now I was in no rush but I did want it water tight before the bad weather
Lets say party springtime :)
-
Is the structure your own plan/design or an off the shelf shed.
If so where did you buy it?
I want one, this is awsome.

Thanks Stew :)
All made up
Just build your frames to size fix together then put your roof on ;)
Does help your brother in law has his own work shop around the corner and must take the credit
It has to be insulated as so no condensation gets in which would not be good for the fridge and any other electrical gadgets that might go in there
-
Great Job Michael
Is this just for home cooking, or are you thinking of starting a business?
-
Was at our local beer festival the other night and one of the street food vendors had a WFO. Rolled out a small lump of pizza dough to about 9", a splodge of one of these Cirio sauces (http://www.cirio1856.co.uk/index.php?section=prodotti&cat=1-tomatoes&page=8-salsina), some Peppadew Mild Piquante Peppers (http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=273573842) chucked on and some sliced Chorizo. Grated mozzarella on top and in the oven for a few mins. They were lovely and so much so, its rekindled my must have a go at pizzas.
Off course I was drunk so didn't take a picture :-\
It certainly looks the business Michael. Envious to say the least.
-
Nice job on the man cave Michael.t :)
It's goin to get hot in there when the ovens fired up.

I thought I would share with you all my out side kitchen
It looks amazing. Many thanks for the photo. I should think your kitchen and the gear inside will be to the envy of everyone.
-
Absolutely Fabulous MT ;D
Great entertaining space and Boys Toys supreme.
Can't wait to see your project up and running... ;)
Curry, Pizza & Ooodles of Noodles On
cheers Chewy
-
Thanks everyone
It has been on my mind to do this for a few years now for the ultimate outside entertainment
And to keep all the big smells outside ;D
I can see extraction being a problem from the tandoor so I must get that right :-\
Im going to keep the tandoor, cooking broilers and fryers down one end so to fit under one hood
The smoke from the WFO should go straight up the chimney :-\
Im welcome to suggestions on what also would be good to go in there ?
Does anyone know about broiler gas rings for cooking on ( the best heat for curry cooking and big rings ::) for a bit of bulk cooking now and again ) may be I should have 2 rings ::)
So open to suggestions on the right equipment
Cheers Michael
-
Nice curry hut mate - love it!
best, Rich
-
I see you've joined the elite group of curry chefs Michael, having your own curry shed :D Will be brilliant once it's all kitted out and ready to go. I'm more than happy to come over and assist with the prep for the grand opening next year ::) ::)
-
Very nice Michael. :)
I'd go all out and plump for some real power.
Get yourself a second hand wok cooker.
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/4a1bb1b7b00309ad087ace66bbb0a2e6.JPG)
I'll be getting myself a 5 burner when I move house. :)
-
how much is that dp?
-
Thats just a random pic.
Can pick them up second hand for a few hundred .
-
Looking great
Now forgive my ignorance for asking, as this would honestly worry me to death, is it fireproofed inside in any way, and how far is it from your house?
-
I definately want/need one of these, well jealous :'(
-
Gutting if you lived on the fifth flooor eh!!! :D ;D
-
Thanks Guys
Im just living the dream 8)
CH your always welcome to come round and play
Frank nice idea I don't think Ive that amount of space ;)
I will take more pictures as progress is made
Cheers Michael
-
Frank??????

I don't think it would pass fire regs :-\
Being mostly made of wood apart from the floor (polished concrete)
And it is a good metre away from the house :o
How about a smoke alarm ::)

That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the photographs ...

How about a smoke alarm ::)
How about starting again, using solely non-flammable materials, and situated as far from the house as your garden will allow ?!
** Phil.
-
Bit pricey that, Phill. Think he's invested in a bucket of sand instead ;) :D
-
Ive got a sink in there
Ill put a hose on the end of the tap :)

just cook Kormas
-
To be fair the WFO when finished will be all enclosed and heavily insulated with a 2inch insulating blanket then it will be boxed in up to the ceiling and filled with vermiculite
So a fire should not come from there I hope :-\ :)
-
When you wrote "wood-burning oven", Michael, did you realise that it is usual to place the wood to be burned into the special fire-cavity part of the oven rather than simply being attached in OSB-sheet form to the back ?
** Phil.
-
Thankyou Phil :)
I actually don't like the look of the board and probably clad with a different wood
That will make it more combustible ;D
-
Looks safe enough to me Michael. If that's Kingspan on the inside, that's got good fire loadiing and if you're plaster boarding and skimming, there's more fire resistance. As for the smoke detector, it'll drive you insane in there. Keep us up to date with photos and especially ones of your inaugural cook out.
-
Yep I 2nd that for the smoke detector, I have to remove all the batteries in ours, upstairs and down, when Im cooking ;)
-
Thankyou Gav
The smoke alarm was tongue in cheek and your right all kingspaned up not too sure what finish but being a plasterer plastering is the last resort ;D
-
How about polished plaster ? I have a friend in Oz who runs his own polished plaster business (http://www.polishedplaster.com.au/) out there; I am sure he would welcome a trip back home to the Old Country to give your outhouse the finish it deserves ...
** Phil.
-
Actually My first cook could be this weekend
The Wfo's flu was fitted through the felted roof ( Flu double line and insulated to take the heat away from felt ;) )
In this state it is ready for pizza cooking then obviously once properly insulated heat can stay up to 24hrs they say then you can bake and slow cook
So you might get a picture this weekend and hopefully not a picture of the kitchen in burning embers
the following day
-
Funny you should say that Phil Im in contact with a Spanish firm called concrete design
similar sort of stuff and looks good
I came across it at the ideal home exhibition
-
Flock Wall paper michael, Flock wall paper.
@Phil :) Many many years ago I used to wonder at the cost of the marble used in all the shopping centres in Britain until I hit it with an access platform and realised it was just polished plaster. I watched a company do a shop front once, amazing (but sad, I know).
-
Flock Wall paper michael, Flock wall paper.
Of course. Why didn't I think of that ? "Fire-retardant flock wallpaper to BS 4758". Obvious, really.

Brilliant invention. Made some people extremely rich, and certainly fools the vast majority of those who look at it ...

Nickel plated Flock wall paper, now there's a thing. 8)
-
Woodchip paper that should end my worries
-
5 squid a sq foot :D (moderated) classic! Great job though I think we all agree! Rock on!
...although MadrasA, you wanna be careful to put them batteries back in! ;)
-
I have a friend in Oz who runs his own polished plaster business (http://www.polishedplaster.com.au/) out there
There's a coincidence Phil. I do believe CA runs a very profitable knob polishing business out there as well ! ;D

Yeah. French polishing! ;)

Big white double arches over the door, dark green mosaic tiles exterior...Draught Lal Toofan/Peroni for the interior.
This place will need a name Michael.t. I'll start the ball rolling with "The Turban Pizzeria" :)

;D
I reckon you've nailed it already
-
Nice Job but im suprised that meets building regulations, A big wood burning oven that size in a small wooden Kitchen is dangerous, Youll be suprised the heat that will come off that so dont be suprised if it burns down at some point.
-
He didn't ask for planning permission, of course! Wot country you think this is man

Who said it meets building regs?..im surprised at you Mike...very surprised
-
I thought you didn't need building regs for what is effectively a summer house /shed?
-
It's not fair! I want one. :P
Rob :)
-
I love the pizza oven, how much and where did you get that beaut? Im guessing you could use it for tandoori/naans too?
-
Hi MT
You can
-
Gav Iscon, I work in the building trade, But a summer house with a wood burning oven requires building regulations as this will be a high output burner, Materials etc, Must be a certain distance, And require non flammable materials, Chimney must be double skinned, Chimney outlet, Plus what you burn according to your area, IE smokless zones etc,
-
If you have any cash left over after the building outlay mate, I found this on offer, second hand....

This is where I got the idea from
I had a commercial Tandoor in the shed so I thought I would give it a proper home
I know it would not pass building regs ( I am too in the building trade ::) )
Im not going to go through it again on how its insulated but the only place it will get hot is the opening
And Mike Im glad your not my neighbour you sound like a right grass
Chewy your spot on stainless steel around the cooking area and wood chip every else ;)
Mattie the oven is from the woodfired oven bake company (mezzo) you can cook and bake all sorts of things
Garp fantastic picture I did laugh after going through the previous comments
If I stop posting you know whats happened :o
Cheers MT

Brilliant ;D

-
I just love the speed with which Google can tell you from where (http://www.channel5.com/shows/cowboy-builders/features/need-us-to-investigate) Onions steals his images ...
-
Almost clever as usual Phill :D
Err... google images generally does it... :P
-
Err... google images generally does it... :P
And here's me been going down the library and scanning images for all these years.
And Garp, wheres the ladders?
-
Jeez, Gav. Next you'll be wanting a big helmet.......
-
Rather than
Mike Hunt's Big Helmet :D
-
Elvis was a big van of firemen, particularly the Yorkshire Fire Service, which is apparent from the song Love Me Tender :(
-
Jeez, Gav. Next you'll be wanting a big helmet.......
ooooeeerrr Matron, and a big pole and a charged hose (or charged length as its known in the trade ;))
-
:o
-
Get a room you two 8)
-
...I think we're in it!!! ;) :D
-
Knock off make up!
-
A little up date
Slowly slowly
-
Looks like it's coming along very nicely Michael. You're going to have a lot of fun in there :)
Is it for hire for private functions?
-
And another one
-
Looking very swish Michael. Total envy :)
-
I did have a little pizza and good old naan wraps party last night
which went down well
I'm still missing my tandoor which will be back in use when the floor goes down
And that is still a while away
-
Looks Excellent, love it! 8)
This is going to be one amazing outdoor/indoor space.
Well done MT ;)
cheers Chewy
-
It's bigger than my house! ???
-
I hope i get an invite to the grand opening Michael ;D
-
Looks great, Michael! I hope you get many hours of enjoyment to reward your labours. I'm now convincing myself of the benefits of an outdoor pizza oven - look what you've started! :)
-
Thanks for all your kind words
The outside should be finished soon
Then I'll move back inside
Really trying to push it on hopefully spring time ::)
-
Can I book it for the first annual EV reunion bash mate?
Any Saturday in June is fine :)
-
Of course garp
As a special treat we can do some naan flipping :)
-
Very nice mt 8)
My son built this 'man shed' complete with underfloor heating , bar , wifi , and wide screen tv and filled with junk at the mo !
Note the astro turf lawn going down .
-
I like that mate! I want one..
Mr. Punter
-
You can't beat a good man shed
Love the grass
-
Finally
Very pleased how things went and wouldn't have changed a thing apart from the price :'(
All wood with stainless steel cladding and tables
coloured microconcrete floor and around woodfired oven
Cheers MT
The Turban Pizzeria ;)

-
Crikey, Amazing Spaces, Shed of the Year, etc
-
Blimey! Nice one... hope you charge for entry! :D
-
That's stunning Michael :)
-
Top marks, Michael! That kitchen space deserves an award. You must be delighted with the final result - I know I'd be! :)
-
Thanks fellows
I'm actually chuffed the way it has turned out and quite proud ::)
There was a few mistakes along the way :)
And I've bored a few people down here talking about it for the last year and an half
I haven't really used it in anger yet
I don't want to get it dirty ;D
No excuses for a bad curry Now :D
-
That does indeed look awesome MT. Can't wait to see some produce pics. :)
-
Good job! Lets see some pizza pic porn!
;)
-
...I haven't really used it in anger yet...I don't want to get it dirty ;D
Hoho! That made me laugh! You're some man! :)
-
Awesome effort. This could be the best man cave ever.
