Well, I believe that at least one, probably more, build small versions 
(three or four feet in hieght vs. ten) at Pennsic. I think the fact 
that few permanent structures get approval at Pennsic keeps these ovens 
from being really large as they have to be rebuilt each Pennsic.

That is a bit far from you, though you could fly there. :-)

Gulf Wars has at least one such oven in the Early Period Encampment. 
Again, a small oven. But since this is a period oven, it may just take 
a few years, but perhaps it will get replaced by a larger one. Or 
another group may build such an oven.

Estrella War is much closer to you than the other two, but I don't know 
if folks build ovens out there or not, as I haven't been to that event 
in 14 years or more.
