I think delivered and installed and shipping and all that Jazz, $4000.

Like I said, way too much.

I wanted to build one for so long, but kids, job, wife, etc.

holy dicklicking hell

I know that time v money feel, but $4000 seems like a lot for that thing
not that it's cool and all and hey you got what you want!

edit : and I guess thinking about it I'm sure the materials were at least around $500-800 so of course they're charging 4k

I used flour for one, then went to the oven to dick around with it and move the fire. Stuck like a bitch.

Next one I formed and immediately put in the oven. Stuck part way, but I got it off the peel eventually.

Next time, semolina and a poo poo-ton of the stuff.

this is always my undoing. it's gotten to where I almost don't want to make pizza because it might stick. I end up with my head in a 600 degree oven screaming 'gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress' as half my pizza slides off the board and the other half sticks, my carefully placed ingredients and perfectly thinly stretched pizza dough go all over the loving oven and to one side of the pizza, and I end up leaving the kitchen in an exasperated sweaty mess while my gal is like

it will be ok mindphlux everything will be ok!!

I had it down to what I thought was an art a couple years ago, but last handful of times I've done it - regardless of how much semolina I use, how quickly I work, or with how much conviction I try to artfully and quickly slide my pizza in - it ends up sticking. tips welcome

Semolina keeps getting mentioned. Does that work as well or better than corn meal in a regular oven? Right now, I only ever buy corn meal as a pizza lubricant. If I can get semolina instead, I'd probably use that for bread, too.

much, much better. I'm assuming you mean finely ground corn meal? I can't get that to work at all. I don't even make bread or pizza if I don't have semolina on hand.

I used rough cornmeal/grits once in desperation and lol

so crunchy, so inedible.
