peel to match stone
I'm excited by the 15" x 20" baking stone at fantes.com, it is slightly larger than mine and I've broken this one in half, so it's time to replace. However my peel is not nearly as wide as my stone already. I like to bake baguettes that are as long as the stone is wide and I've resorted to widening my peel with cardboard to accomodate the additonal width of the stone relative to the peel. That works OK, but the packing tape that secures the cardboard tends to curl with the heat and it's all kind of ooky. Anybody have any tips on finding a 20" wide peel? I'm thinking of maybe creating something with sheet metal... Thanks,
