Bed, bath & beyond or whatever it's twin store is has them for about $12 to $15. Just don't get it too wet when cleaning. I'm not sure how, but the little woman slightly warped ours. Still works.

I bought an aluminum peel from amazon.com for about $12.

Just so you know the metal vs. wooden peel debate often has flared up in the past. Personally I prefer my metal for placing and removing pizzas, but cut and serve from my wooden one. BTW if you get a metal one just be aware they are more slippery and a pizza can fall off! Guess how I know. To overcome the grip issue though I wrapped the handle with a replacement golf club grip tape. Now it's secure and easy to handle.

Note: A peel is not a neccesity for making pizza on the egg. I use a pizza pan on top of the stone for the first half of the cook, then with a spatulata(after crust has hardened slightly) I slide the pie off the pan onto the stone for the rest of the cook. The pan should be cool enough when pie is ready so that you can put it back on to transport to kitchen bare handed.
Not sayin this is the best way, but it works.

Get a couple of these and you do not need a peel or corn meal or parchment paper...

Mickey

I have one just as good. Picture this. You got your pizza all done up and with a quick stab you attempt to slide the peel under your creation. Guess what I got?
A train wreck! All was not lost. I savaged what I could and made a calzone lookin thang! :unsure: :unsure:

Don't waste your money on a tool that you'll only use for one thing. Get a roll of parchment paper and use an upside down cookie sheet. The dough and paper slides off very well and then when it starts to crisp up just remove the paper from between the pie and stone and you are good to go.
