do any of you have any good ideas for how to fix it? what material he =

Hi Everyone,
I always wondered if it was possible to make a tandoor oven out of the
clay we use.... wondering because of food safe issues/ temperature,
cracking of the clay. I thought this might not be of interest to people
here so never asked.
So, has anyone here made a tandoor clay oven. what clay did u use?
Success/failures? Did u fire it before cooking in it? I don't even know
what the right questions are..
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Charan
