wondering if the contraflow masonry heater/bakeoven (AKA Finnish Fireplace) could be used in Montreal for bagel bake ovens... Tulikivi, is one of the more prominent mfgs. of standard model designed & manufactured masonry heaters with bake ovens. these wood burning contraflow design heaters/ovens are efficient enough to be installed in densely populated urban areas in europe and the nordic countries- political entities with strict emissions requirements. assuming their fine particulates meet the Montreal std., the question may be if the ovens can be made large enough to meet the business bagel makers needs. Breads I have eaten made in these sorts of ovens are marvelous.
ReplyDeleteI hope they find a viable alternative. I always buy a bag of bagels home when I visit family in Montreal.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the David Byrne link. who knew?
ReplyDeleteGeoff, I'm sure I'm not the only one who knew. I suspect there were others.
ReplyDeleteLars, it looks like the Montreal bagel will survive http://bit.ly/2Qz2Pup
