I looked in my Favorites but could find the one I've been using. I forgot where I put it or I'd give you the link.
I've seen some of the calculators on the web, but most appear to be aimed at other applications than oven building, such as computing btu requirements to heat a room or for sizing a fireplace/furnace, etc. I've not seen many that are specific to oven building.
