Yeah but, "Long-term exposure." I don't understand your paranoia about a stainless steel pizza oven and a stainless- or aluminum peel. In other news, I've thrown out my tinfoil hat, because aloominum.
Look, I shared a thought, you asked for more about it, which I shared. I’m not in the tin foil hat club I’m in the let’s stay healthy club. Did you watch the video with the sound up? I’d be surprised if you would eat a spoonful of iron filings or aluminum powder willingly even if it was mixed up in a beer, a very good Hefe with banana out the wahzoo! You just wouldn’t, at least I hope you wouldn’t.

In that line of thought, how about a spoon full of sawdust or possibly stone dust. Personally I don't want a spoonful of any of it mixed into anything.
Thankfully, we are not talking about such quantity. We are talking about trace amouts getting worn off over time. Depending on hardness of the 2 materials the stone may be the material getting worn and not the metal(though I wager on the metal). I am sure that if we were to really measure it through a controlled test over time we would find that wood is leaving far more material in the process.
I am not disagreeing with you on which would be preferable in any nominal quantity(none of them), rather I am of the thought that even over an extended period of time that the potential exposure of those trace scrapings to be negligible and not of a concern to me.

Personally, I focus my food angst toward a truly prolific poison that is far too commonplace in many kitchens and should never be used but finds it's way in and onto recipes and otherwise healthy foods rendering them both disgusting, inedible, and removing any healthy aspects that the food may have previously held. This enemy is of course the demonic seed of Satan itself: Mayonnaise!

Oh gawd, I hope this is the last of this discussion, (it will be for me) the heat of most baking stones would turn any particles of wood into ash which of course in a wood fired oven there is plenty of that to begin with. We agree on the adulteration of processed food. Even the organically produced whole foods are contaminated, but the levels have tested as much less.

Beer and pizza are great together.

I just finished dinner, but damn i would still have slice of that🤤
 
Sorry, the duh was meant in jest.

We had an old truck that leaked oil pretty bad, and it was parked in one spot I. The yard. The grass died in that area and weeds struggled to get a foot hold. That is the limit of my first hand knowledge although I have been told that yes it will kill everything in the soil.

Big Horn pellet pizza oven arrived yesterday. Waiting on my pizza peel so I hope to have actual finished pies posted soon.

Anyone using this pizza oven have tips?
I’d be careful using it on that table. I’m concerned about the heat on the glass table top. But I don’t know anything about the oven, it may be insulated well enough?
 
Hello, I'm looking for a fool proof sourdough pizza crust recipe.
I have been making sourdough English muffins now for quite a few years at the request of the wife, but these pie's look so good.

Made some sourdough pizza dough Thursday with KA 00 flour, 70% hydration, 9 hour bulk ferment, and a 72 hour cold ferment. Dough turned out nice. Easy to work with and had a nice texture with a little bit of chew. First pizza was a hodgepodge to make everyone happy(half cheese/half pepperoni and some canned mushrooms for me). I even made the sauce from a jar of homegrown tomatoes that didn't seal last week. Second pizza was homemade BBQ sauce and some burnt ends from a brisket I smoked Saturday. Some red onions would have made it perfect but we didn't have any. It was really tasty!🥲

I made a couple of pizzas last week; the first one used up the last of the huge bag of bread flour I bought in 2020 😂 The second was made with unbleached all-purpose flour. Both were 70% hydration and ripened for a couple of hours at room temperature. The AP-flour dough was very difficult to work with — too soft and sticky — but actually tasted better. I'm still trying to figure out the best setting on my new oven. "Air Fry" at 450° is working pretty well.

What kind of flour and hydration levels are y'all using? Next time I think I will try AP flour again but ripen the dough in the fridge overnight so it's cold when I try to shape it.

Next time I buy bread flour, I'll get a 10# bag instead of a 25. The big bags are not that much cheaper per pound.
