It could be so easy

Check out Heather's cool, little oven on Wheels. http://squirrelbread.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/pizza-whole-wheat-baguette-bragging-rights/

Sometimes we seen to agonize over our oven designs and end up not having any oven because of our twisted thinking. Really, it could be so easy, and the cost of Heather's oven is negligible. Probably the wagon is the most expensive component, but maybe you could get a kid to give up theirs if you promise the child some whole wheat bread fortified with soy protein.
The point is, Heather has a simple to build, wood-fired oven that she can move around, and the oven looks like it will bake great pizza. Note the elegant (no joke), self-supporting roof.
One of my local supermarkets just bought a whole bunch of new shopping carts, and I keep thinking that I could build an oven on top of one, but that's a future project.

Hi Stu,
Great point on overthinking a dream to death. Love Heather's courage to "just do it" and the delightful results. She's inspiring me to get going on my outdoor model. My kitchen oven turned out fantastic.
