This is a HearthKit brick oven insert, and one just like it now resides in my oven*. It certainly evens out the heat, at least to judge by browning, and the first loaf of bread I tried had a pretty nice crust.
*Definitely not a picture of my oven - the one in the photo is much newer and cleaner ...

Oh my! I first read that as a new "Heathkit" and assumed you were doing some newfangled electronics project. I suppose that dates me a bit....when was the last time anyone heard of Heathkits?
I just might be a serious enough baker to need one of these, but too ignorant to have heard of them before. I'm looking into it. Thanks for the heads up.
Very cool! I'm not sure I want one enough to plunk down the bucks though. I'll wait to hear more from you. And Heathkits? What a blast from the past! My brother used to pour over their catalogs.
A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)
Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.

How nifty! I definitely want one! Probably won't make it very high on my list of financial priorities however. :)
