The main opening, through which wood and later bread were put in, was secured with a door.

Do you know what the chain placed above the opening was for? After starting the oven, the chimney flues were closed with a bolt located in the front wall. This was used to regulate the draft in the oven.

The shelf in front of the oven also had its use. It was called an open hearth, from which smoke escaped directly into the chimney. It was mainly used in the summer. In winter, valuable heat should not be let out into the chimney.
