How to Light and Use an Earthen Oven to Cook
Here in the @gardenofeden, we do all of our cooking over fire using wood that was otherwise destined to end up in the landfill.
In this video, fire master @QuinnEaker demonstrates how easy and sustainable it is to light the cob oven for baking off some epic handmade pies at our Epic Handmade Knives presents Epic Handmade Pies event.

The Garden of Eden is the most sustainable organization in the state of Texas (and probably the nation). We're focused on our values of integrity, honor, responsibility, accountability, freedom, and family, and spend our lives feeding, clothing, housing, and educating people. Our Eden Knights live on less than $1 a day each, and we feed 40,000 free meals a year without government assistance, corporate sponsorship, or rich benefactors! We have a negative carbon footprint; use composting toilets; grow food; cook year-round on outdoor, wood-burning rocket stoves we built by hand from earth; reduce/reuse/recycle; shower from our well; and barter and trade for most of the goods and services we require. We are 100% dedicated to PROCEEDS NOT PROFITS; everything we offer is by donation to our humanitarian works and social outreach.

This is so cool.
I would love to cook my food in earthy oven like this.
The food must taste so delicious cooked like this.
Thank you for sharing @gardenofeden.
Have a wonderful Friday.
It is a blessing indeed to engage this reality. I hope you get to experience the magic of it one day @joalvarez. Thanks for stopping by.
howdy there gardenofeden! hey this is quite the educational post, thank you! I've never done any cooking in this type of cooker but I think it would have to taste better with more flavor! Thanks for all you guys do for people.
Food does miraculously taste better and it feels so very good to be participating in truly sustainable realities. Glad to see you here @janton.
howdy again everlove! so you work at the gardenofeden? I live abot 35 miles Northeast of Dallas so I'm a ways off but like to support fellow Texans!
I suppose in the grand scheme of things we are really close--at least in comparison to many of the other Steemians. I do live at the @gardenofeden. And a miraculous life it is! Thanks for your support @janton.
howdy again everlove! well that is so interesting...that you live there. I mean what is that like and how many people live there? I guess I know precious little about the place except the food always looks amazing and ya'll have such big hearts in feeding others for free, it's been very impressive to watch.
Are the police leaving you guys alone now?
It is amazing here--other worldly, really! We always have a varying amount of people. We are blessed with our very core group right now of about 8, but have had upwards of 20-25 at times.
The food is amazing--grown and prepared with love. Doesn't get much better than that. Holding space for consciousness and the divinity of children are truly the most valuable parts for me.
Not since their 3-in-one-day trespasses in May have we had a visit from our local police. May it continue to be so. Thanks for asking. I appreciate your comments and your concerns @janton.
howdy again everlove! Well that is so interesting. Are the living quarters in one building like a dorm?
I'm so glad that the police haven't been back, maybe they decided to leave you alone. I mean I'm sure they have more important things to do!'
God bless you for helping so many people!
We have had many different housing situations - dorm style living, geodomes, trailers, tents, teeny tiny homes, hammocks, earthwomb and in house stays. Ever changing as the needs arise.
Let's hope the police find something more valuable to do--they haven't proven to know what that is--more on the hunt for prey. But anyway, we will rise above and continue to live the change, and grateful to help so many.
Hope to build one of these soon!
I hope you do @andre-ager!
