HORNOS, OVENS AND FIRPLACES

As inhabitants of an earth with diverse cultures and resources, we first make use of naturals materials around us to keep warn and progress to cooking and baking simple foods.  Since we live in the southwest, we are accustomed to seeing and using the horno introduced by the Spanish in the late 1500's and adapted for every day use by the Native American Indian pueblo dwellers. Various books and magazine articles refer to this type of oven as a "beehive oven"

The true southwest HORNO is made from adobe blocks, mud plaster, lava rock and flat sandstone and sized according to the amount of finished flour (sacks) dough the horno will hold.  The pueblo people generally have a series of 2, 3 or 4 hornos together so that they can bake or cook a sufficient quanty for festive events.  Usually it is a 25 pound horno that is most common.
