What's the up-down and side-to-side measurements of that "pipe" that runs horizontally [between interior and the chimney]?   Is the actual oven just the chimney part, or also the connecting pipe?    Mare-see-beau-koo.

An old used chinmey liner..

14"x7" i.d.

More of a grilling pit..

But....

If i made a slide in metal box..it could be an ovin.. not a bad idea Ower thanks.. :0)

Ammo can..?

The inside of the flue is 11.5"

Thanks Al, but you don't want to give away too much of the credit.    Your whole set-up is new to me.  While I can find my way around a basic kitchen, my expertise [cough, hack, cough] with outdoor cooking* begins and ends with weenies over a campfire.

* - but that's just the cooking part ... I can hold my own when it comes to the eating end of it.  

Continuing creete work..
Mebee done fer a while..
Wanna do some stone work around it to dress it up a bit tho.. :0)

Cleaned up cover installed..
Make shift damper..n posible stone work..

Brother Al this project looks so fun I'm jealous!!! Looking good!!

Al , pls explain the chain & the big handle ?

Well...
Lit'er off taday...
Works very well..
First pic is the efishency haze..
If you can see it..
Then the fire full bore n stroke..

The dampered fer what would be cookin mode..
Absolootle no..zero smoke in the cabin..as it drafts a bit through the cookin portal..

Pretty happy with it.. :0)

Here is the limitin factor..lenth of cook area..apx 9.5"..
But the target was small pultrey..n roasts..

The handel thing is the skewer..

The chain is the hight adjustment..

Here is a whole picture of the skewer deal..
There is a theaded rod concreteted in at the top of the portal that the links can hang on at differnt hights as well as pilot holes drilled inta the back of the chimney fer the tip of the skwwer to ride in..holding the skewer level n strait..

This pic..

It appears you're doing fine without my advice [cough, hack, cough], but would an "S"-hook at the bottom end of the chain be a worthwhile idea?   ... Could then take the skewer out while leaving the chain in position?   I.e. adjust the height of the skewer via the chain only at the spike (?) in the top frame?

[But, but, but, bear in mind, mine is not the voice of experience. ]

Edit: Ooops!! .... disregard ^^ ... on closer examination of your last pic, I see you're a few steps ahead of me.... I see your method does allow for removal AND it prevents unwanted rotation of the skewer.  [Don't mind me ..... it'll pass.]

So do all of the fumes from cooking go up the rear part of the oven & does it have a front cover to keep grease & stuff from spattering out .
We're going to need a demo ! {:0)

Funny thing Owen..

Great minds think alike.. :0)

While you were posting i was lookin fer a repair link to do that very thing..

I'll post a pic later.. :0)

I am sure that there will be a ...
Learnin curve..to cookin in this thing..

Seems to be very effishant on the wood burning..
A little may go a long ways..

That's a great looking cabin.

Owen..
This works.. :0)

I dunno Al, that chain looks like you borrowed (?) it from one of your jobsites.       For the "S" hook, what I was thinking was one of the m-a-n-y I've removed from wonky tarp straps and are now taking up space on my workbench.

But IF you think some of my ideas have merit, here's one I'm sure you can adopt/adapt:  I had made a cradle from broken hockey sticks for our first-born.  However the bedroom in our first house didn't have a lot of space along side the bed.... just enuff for the cradle. For night-time snacks I'd pass our daughter over to my wife, and when nursing was done, she'd hand her back.  I'd tuck her in, but had a shoestring [with a loop for my finger] attached to the cradle ... everybody was covered and I could still rock her back to sleep.   I think I'd be reconnoitering about some remote control between the stove and my recliner. 

Tadays other project...

An old fire pit popcorn popper...
Will serve as a vegtible basket fer grillin..as well as a buffalo wing ..re heater...

In ..Honor of Owen...
The first Oficial cooked meal...
