You might be surprised. Most large towns have some sort of refractory supply for local kilns, commercial ovens, fireplaces, etc. As RC said, check the phone book and/or call some local brick suppliers and ask where to get refractory stuff.

A sheet of the insulating board looks like it will cost as much to get it here from CA as it does to buy it.  Unless I'm wrong? (boy would I love to be wrong!)

Don't go by the shipping prices on the FB web store. In the past the shipping prices were screwed up. Call them on the phone to verify shipping cost. I'm not sure if James got that fixed or not.
You can cut corners and save $$ in several areas of your oven build, but DON'T skimp on the floor insulation! Bite the bullet and get the FB board or a similar product (or vermiculite concrete). If you find something locally that you think might work, feel free to run it past us. The folks on here have tried just about everything.

I'm going to do some more collecting of information before I begin, but when I get started I'll be sure to post and have pictures.
