I keep meaning to try that, but I will get mine from a scrap metal dealer for pennies a pound. Might go 3/8" or even 1/2" thick, depends on what I find.

I don't know if you caught the group buy we had a while ago. That's why they are available round now. I bet Andre got a couple hundred orders fo that. They are great though, and I'm in the steel businessLittle Steven said:Carolina Q said:I keep meaning to try that, but I will get mine from a scrap metal dealer for pennies a pound.

Yep...we put round on the map! Lol

well, I didn't know that! no wonder...obviously I have not been here that long.this one, 1/4", weighs at least 15lbs, a 1/2" would weigh 30lbs. I wouldn't want to lift it out of the egg every time.

With my 00 flour, I produce better pies off a stone on my egg. I primarily use my baking steel for a flat top...which I totally love doing.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Cool! Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to sewing the results.

@cazzy I used to use OO , but I found that it makes the crust too hard. I went back to bread flour, and am thinking of going to a softer flour. What is your dough recipe, if you don't mind?

I saw the group buy. No way I'm spending that much for a piece of steel plate. Last time I bought scrap, it was about 15¢ a pound. Might be more now, and though it won't look as nice, it won't cost me a hundred bucks either! Maybe $30 at most. Andris is making a killing! And besides, I can do pretty much the same thing with a couple of stones in my oven - one under, one over the pie. I've had 'em for years.My version of Pizzeria Bianco's Pizza Rosa. Done in my oven, with the two stones.

I know that zippylip, who is a good personal friend, uses King Arthur's and not 00. In my limited experimentation half AP and half 00 works great. I just buy pizza flour from an Italian food importer now which is about that mix.

@Carolina Q , I broke two stones in the old Webber, so I figured it was time for an upgrade.

Lodge isn't good enough, but a scrap of metal is. I thought you liked the good stuff? You're no snob and that's pretty dissapointing. :(Carolina Q said:I saw the group buy.

The last thing I wanna do in the middle of a TEXAS summer is to fire up the oven inside the house.anyways, the one who dies with the most toys wins, right?

A Lodge is NOT a Griswold! And besides, where I live, Griswold is often cheaper than Lodge!Pay attention!I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Looks neat.. I'm new 'round here, and haven't gotten into pies on my egg, but whats the upgrade of this over the normal stone?
I make a damn mean pie on my stone.

I add a little more salt, and add 25g more water. its a bit wet, so maybe I'll cut it down.

Come on Michael that GD thing was pretty damn funny. Can't come up with a response or maybe you have forgotten or gone to bed?

FWIW, the baking steel is a pretty nicely finished piece of steel, and I think well worth the $79. There is a copycat product called the Pizza Steel which sells for $72, and it actually is a piece of scrap that the guy grinds in his garage. Not worth the $.I have baked on a steel and I like it a bit better than my stone. It holds heat longer when doing several pies IMO. Some day I will pick one up, but I have two good stones right now, there are other eggcessories I want first (Woo and CI Grate to name 2)Enjoy your steel - I am sure you will love it!XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY
