Just because I'm feeling cranky, here is an example of a way to fail at communicating.
My Google Alert sent me the link to a blog post that announced, "We have started building our Wood Fired Pizza oven!" This is apparently for a restaurant named "Pesto Brothers."
OK. Fine. Where are they located? They don't really say on the blog post.
Going to their home page, they list a street address (2500 Woodlands Village Dr), but don't provide a city or state. They provide a phone number (with area code), but unless you have the area code map memorized, that's not a great help. Under Places to Visit, they do mention Grand Canyon tours and Flavors of Flagstaff, so it does appear that they are in Flagstaff. It would have been nice just to be told. Grumble.
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.

Stone Bake Oven Company, Sway, Hampshire, United Kingdom
I had been aware of the Stone Bake Oven Company, Sway, Hampshire, United Kingdom before, but I caught a trade press mention of them here. (I had no idea there was a site devoted to Pasta and Noodles news.)
The news item says in part, "The Stone Bake Oven Company, a seller of wood fired ovens to cater to commercial or domestic demands, indoor and outdoor use, and a range of budgets, has launched their Rocca oven range that can be installed inside the home as well as outdoor."
Interesting designs they have.

Pizza Moto, Brooklyn, New York
I found a hospitality jobs listing on Craig's List for a pizza maker.
It was for a business named PizzaMoto. The listing says in part, "We make lovely Neapolitan brick oven pizza outdoors every weekend at the Brooklyn Flea and in Central Park for all the Summer Stage shows throughout the summer."
That sounded intriguing.
They didn't provide a web address with the listing, but I found their home page and their Facebook page. Both pages have some pictures of their oven.
They have several reviews on their listing on yelp.
