My sniffer is so good I can smell Monostat 7 from across the room

Really a unique item to reference while citing your olfactory super power. LMAO

You all can relax now. I didn't season it and the pie didn't stick.

I've never heard of seasoning a pizza stone. It isn't necessary. Like a steak on a grill, dough might initially stick to a stone when it goes on but it should release by the time it is ready to come off.

I've been using this 1" California stone for a while now and I absolutely love it

When it was brand new, there was a funky smell that was not fun to behold. Some open-window airflow helped, and after a few pizzas, that off-smell went away, and has been replaced with pizzeria-goodness. Just preheating the oven makes people start asking what I'm making

Don’t jump to conclusions! Maybe we could use a level 4 yeast sommelier! “Hey bubbles, I’m looking for a wheat yeast that doesn’t have that ripe Belgian armpit funk. What’s her name?”

Man I’m so excitable. All this pizza talk and I had to fire up!

Had a disaster last night, fired up the grill, p,aced my stone - Barbecue Grill Baking Stone – Bake Pizza Outdoors on Your BBQ! - as my dough was rising ( 30 min), looked out a window and holy sh-t Fire, burned my protective pan. Dough turned out so so, think it will be better on the stone though.

Alton brown says to use a 99 cent correy stone, in his pizza episode...can't say i've tried it...just thought i'd throw it out there....

this is what i do. unglazed quarry tile. cheap cheap, but it can take direct fire over and over with no troubles.

LOL, alton always had great ideas! i liked it in his pretzel episode when he got shut down with the lye,

but you can't supress truth, and i did go on to make pretzels with food grade lye myself! of course i'm a weirdo, and made them with lentil flour...

i tried using boiling baking soda once and it wasn't great. lye is the only way to get that real pretzel flavor.

use KOH, and call them healthy!

use KOH, and call them healthy!

if i had a free supply of it from work, i might. NaOH pellets on demand!

NaOH pellets on demand!

i'm low on lye! (jealous )

hmm, i wonder, how a pizza crust would brown, with a lye brushing before baking?

Gonna try to get fancy and make a pineapple pizza with maple bourbon reduction glaze. I know what you’re thinking, “Jesus, Nick you can’t make pizza every night!” To that I say, “Shhhhhh”.

Pro-Tip recently adopted. When you cover your pizza paddle in flour, also cover it with a light coating of garlic powder +1

A few weeks ago I had some excitement. I purchased a fibrament stone and grill diverter almost a year ago... welll due to poor up keep, grease and all, flames were going on, and actually burned a hole in the diverter. So I contact the company to inquire about getting a new diverter... OMG... shipment of diverter 48.00 bucks, stone and diverter 58 bucks... wow....

I'd be careful with any sort of masonry not made for fires. If it's porous at all and absorbs water, it will crack.
