[Cob] winter cooking

[Georgie Donais]

Copper,

I'm a little late answering this, but here goes... We have been using our 
cob oven about once a month this winter, and last time it was at least -10 
C. It is hard to get it hot enough, though we still did cook a pretty big 
meal (with some conventional oven to finish some stuff off), and 10 loaves 
of bread to boot. Mine is pretty cracked, but the cracks came from the 
drying once we were done the oven, and hasn't cracked much this winter. It 
gets pretty steamy some hours later as the heat gets to the outside, but 
the oven itself doesn't seem to have sustained any damage. I say go for it.
