terracotta oven
 

I've seen these ovens used. No chimney. They are heated as in colonial
times. Wood is burned in the oven (never charcoal) and when proper heat is
obtained, all wood and ashes are removed. Baking items are then placed in
the oven with the door closed. The heat retained is what bakes items.

Howdy,

With apologies for the repetition:

Lighting such an oven indoors is to risk death from carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Go "out" for a pizza...
