My new outside kitchen plan.

About 3 years ago I made a strip foundation for this building, I will build it from foam blocks (large porous analogues of bricks).
I call this kitchen a bus because the plan is for it to have two pairs of glass doors and one large window at the end, similar to the windshield of a bus.
I managed to collect about 6,000 bricks and I will subsequently build furnaces there. I'm not sure if these bricks will be enough, but they are certainly enough to get started.
One oven will be something like this, This is a vertical Central Asian tandoor, but not from a clay pot, but a brick one.

(This is a pictures from the Internet, not my pics)
Typically, such ovens are used for baking bread cakes and i will can also fry meat there if i lower the iron pin with fasteners.
Another oven will be something like this, it is either a Central Asian horizontal tandoor or an Italian pizzeria oven (they are very similar, so the name is not important).

A similar device has a classic Russian stove, but it is huge and, among other things, has a crucible and a bed for sleeping on top - I don’t plan to sleep there, so I won’t build a Russian stove there.
And in the third oven, I want to combine a hearth with a cast-iron stove for cooking pots, a horizontal chimney in which I think to place a small cast-iron oven (for baking pies), and then install a tower for smoking meat and fish.

I don’t have a perfect photo, I just have an idea in my head, but I roughly understand how to build it.
Photos of similar ovens and smokehouses

Above the horizontal chimney of the smokehouse, I am thinking of building another hearth in which it will be possible to roast meat on skewers. Something like this oven (it has a different design, but in the center the idea is the same).

Something like that

In front of this barbecue, I want to install such a cast-iron horse (I have it in stock). This is a photo of my fireplace, when I built it, I bought two of these horses, and one is for barbecue.

In general, I have a lot of interesting work ahead of me this summer. Why so many ovens? I don't know, I liked them all, and I decided, since I have a lot of bricks - why not take and build them all. Moreover, in the places where I live, I get a lot of free firewood, and I have enough fuel for these stoves. In addition, I live on clay hills, and this clay is very good for laying such stoves, it will come out free of charge to me.
There are still three small windows on the plan, I made them from old glass from the shelves. The shelves have long fallen into disrepair, they were produced in the USSR, but the glass has been preserved. I decided to make small windows out of them. Afterwards, I will simply paint the wooden windows with paint.

I also want to install a plucking machine and a wood-fired water heater there - it will heat the water for the strait of this plucking machine.
Well, I'll also put some old furniture in there and a small sink where I can wash meat and vegetables for work.
