Carol, I bought mine online 2 years ago. Cost 60 bucks including shipping from CA. The stone is a man made product and can be left in the oven durring the self clean cycle which is nice. It measures 5/8"x15"x20" and just fits my oven. If I plan to shuffle bread 1/2 way through the bake I can get 4 loaf pans, two big boules, or about 3 large Italians.
It would be nice to have an wood fired oven. If I had one I would have gas piped to it to get it to temp and then add wood for the flavor. I don't like the idea of chopping and storing wood anymore, been there done that, too pooped to buy the t shirt. What I am thinking of doing though is finding a used gas fired wall oven. I can mount that outside under the house eve or on the lanai and bake bread out there. Keeps the kitchen a lot cooler, especially when baking Italian or French bread when it's cranked up on high!
There are some wood fired ovens on island and a lot of help to be had on the internet if you are interested in finding a little project for the hubby's to-do list LOL ;-)
