Primitive Technology Tiled Roof Hut

In the tiled roof hut that i built based on your design i created a small furnace with a few clay tiles laid on top for cooking on.

Primitive technology tiled roof hut.

Furnace made of mixture of mud clay and fibres. World touristar i built this hut in the bush using naturally occurring materials and primitive tools. A trench was dug and covered with flat stones with a firebox at one end and a chimney at the other for draft. The kiln originally used for firing roof tiles for the hut was used to fire the larger pottery.

The fired tiles were then hooked over the horizontal roof battens. Originally i fired previous pots in small pit fires. Earthenware may be placed on the tiles to cook. But the kiln allowed me to fire larger pots with a lower breakage rate than pit fire.

Next to the furnace there is a small chamber made of the same mixture as above but with a clay tile floor for not putting food on mud.
