The map allows brick oven fans to find out if they are close to
somebody who already has one.

Here is the picture of my bake oven.
Our bakery is going so well.
Last Saturday we sold out 30 pizza at the Saturday evening
market.
Of course I baked by wood fire.
Every day my wife Shuko is baking 10kg wheat flour and
selling out
in a short time.
We will increase products little by little.
But we will keep making hand made bread.
