Baking Steel 'Problem' ? - (Wrong size)

Black_Badger · April 2013

Hello All,

I jumped on the baking steel offer a week or so ago and just got a confirmation that the order had been sent. I ordered a 21" for my XL thinking that would give me the most cooking area (which should be true). My concern is that I might have limited my ability to cook above the felt line on top of my AR by getting such a large steel. Anyone have any experience using something over ~18" in diameter high in the dome? How badly did I screw up here?

Cheers -

@Black_Badger, I know a number of people ordered a 21" for the XL, I don't know that you are going to have a problem, but other people who own a XL can comment better than I.

I haven't used my xl in a couple of years but as I rember there is a ton of room around the 18" stone. If it's a problem you can get it cut at a weld shop with plasma. That would be the cheapest.
