Purpose of this blog

This blog will really be a true web log. I will post here about different wood-fired ovens as I find them.

If you know of any wood-fired ovens I should know about, you can send an e-mail to me. (If you build wood-fired ovens, I would like to hear from you too.)

There will lots of posts and lots of labels, since I plan to create one post for every appropriate web site that I find, and however many labels it takes to describe each one (usually at least the type of page and the location of the oven).

The accumulated information will still be found at the real Quest for Ovens web site links pages, but that is not updated as frequently as this blog will be.

If you are from outside the US and Canada, let me know what you find interesting about it. I see that I get visitors from India and Iran, and other faraway places. I'd like to know what draws you to this blog.

I received e-mail from the organizers of the BBC Two television show asking if the Saint Paul Bread Club could post a notice about their show Great British Bake-Off for amateur bakers. The information they gave me is now accessible through a link. (The organizers don't have a web page for the show itself yet.)

Please share this with any amateur bakers in Great Britain you may know, or post the link where they might see it.

Thanks.

Minnesota WFO Businesses

I have now assembled a map of wood-fired oven businesses in Minnesota. I am trying some new options with map construction. I am trying to color code information about the different businesses so that people with particular tastes in mind can better see where they can find the food they like.



The color key that I have applied to places on the map attempts to use the following
categories:
  • green - VPN certified
  • white - Neapolitan-style, but not certified
  • red - hearth, but gas or electric, not wood
  • yellow - farm
  • blue - restaurant, possibly without pizza (e.g. wood-fired grill)
  • brown - bakery
  • gray - don't know
So of you want to find wood-fired oven pizza, look for the green or white markers.

    Spasso Restaurant in Minnetonka in the same center as Lakewinds Coop has a wood-fired pizza oven.

    Thanks for the tip. I see their oven is visible in the background on the picture they use on their home page. Wood-fired pizza is mentioned on their downloadable lunch menu.
