Horno Oven. This is a traditional adobe brick oven, still used in pueblos across the Southwest. Traditionally, a fire was built in the horno in the early morning to heat up the adobe bricks - which retain the heat for a surprising amount of time. When the fire burns out, and the bricks are hot, the ashes are removed and the floor of the horno is cleaned. This is the surface that bread or other items are placed on for cooking. With the horno sealed, the heat of the adobe bricks inside the oven can cook meat, stew, beans and bread for the remainder of the day. caminorealheritage.org/gallery/g2/g2_002.htm
