Recently I started a thread about ordering 14" round baking steels cut from A36 steel 3/8" thick with a smooth edge. I am NOT selling these - just facilitating a possible group buy for sake of a quantity discount. Right now there are only 2 of us and our cost will be $27.66 Plus Tax which is down from $37.30 PT for merely 1. If I was able to order 5 then it goes down to $21.87 PT. Still on the fence? Compare this price to $80 ordering one on the internet. I will place the order at 1:30 CST tomorrow and the train WILL leave on time.

    Do people only bake on these, or do you cook other stuff like a griddle?

    Based on another person's research it appears FedX Ground might be the cheapest, but if you want to give me your zip code I might be able to estimate it for you. My guess is it will be around $20 though.

    To Windy City it looks like about $19 - BTW there might be a savings on the steel itself if I can order 5 of them for a discount in cost.

    @RRP How far are you willing to ship?  I'm interested, but this could be a serious inconvenience to you if those of us across the country jump on board.  You already do enough with the Rutland gaskets.

    Another article folks might want to read if they are interested in a "baking steel" is J. Kenji's piece from 2012:

    http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2012/09/the-pizza-lab-the-baking-steel-delivers.html

    Baking steels are nice in a home oven but you don't really want to use one if you are cooking your pizzas with an egg cranked up to 800+ degrees.

    No particular inconvenience to me - FedX is doing the shipping and you will be footing the shipping cost. I will need to figure some packaging cut from cardboard, but I like that type of challenge.

    Well, if possible, I'd be in for one to 97304.  And if not too much trouble, I'd be interested in a Rutland for my...ahem...KJ Jr.   :s

    Looks like FedX will want about $34. Will that work? Give me a second and I'll send you a PM

    Does this have mill scale on it or has it been polished?

    The final order went in today for 8 of them and at $20.42PT they are merely laser cut so yes they will have mill scale on them at that price. I am told that a bath for 48 hours in vinegar will remove the scale.

    I've been thinking about and researching a baking steel for my Large BGE and came across this thread. 

    I realize this is over a year old but trying to see if any reasonable similar deals are available today?

    I think I'd love the versatility of a baking steel for smash burgers, searing steaks and oh yeah, trying some baking.

    Wondering  for a large Egg is 14" largest you can use or is 16" possible.

    Does it have to be 3/8" thick or can 1/4" thick work?

    Lastly what is A36 steel? 


    Thanks for any advice on this,

    Joey
