I put together an initial web page describing the features of the portable brick ovens that I teach people how to build in my classes. It seems only fair to discuss what's good and bad about my oven designs.
Update 11/24/2012: Just to save you some mouse clicks, note that my oven designs are for ovens that are portable in sense that they are built of unmortared bricks cleverly stacked together. The ovens can be moved by moving the bricks from the starting location to the ending location and rebuilding the oven (which takes less time than you might think, about an hour, less with help). It you are looking for some other kind of portability (what I might describe as a mobile oven), you will need to look elsewhere.

AOA Bar & Grill, New York, New York
My Google alert pulls through again, this time finding a mention of the AOA Bar & Grill in New York City.
This looks like a real beer and pizza place ("25 craft beers and over 50 bottled").
In addition, they have a regularly scheduled pizza-making class. (Now I know why people were thinking the price for my all-day oven-building class was not out of line with New York prices.)
I did find a limited-time offer for the class at a significant discount (but check out the fine print).

GardenFork.TV, a blog that mentioned wood-fired ovens
Sometimes I see the blogs of other people with interests that overlap mine.
One case of this is a blog that has its own simple charm: GardenFork.TV.
I added a collection of links to pages of theirs that I found interesting or useful.
They do both their own stuff and republish other people's contributions that are related to what they have done.
They did a brick oven pizza video that got some responses from other people who had done something very similar, somewhat less similar, or not so similar.
Their brick oven pizza video even got picked up and repackages for a Make posting.
Their approach certainly seems to work, even if it's not the way I do it, but good for them.
