Man that’s simple as shit to make.

just give in and buy the lodge i mentioned, friend
it's as thick and sure it maybe isn't as big as you'd like but you seem to be struggling to find anything else unfortunately

>>20179643
>it's as thick
It isn't.

It's less than 5mm thick, the one in the pic is almost 10mm thick.

The one I was looking at was like 24lbs of steel.

Why don't you try calling some machine shops around your area, I bet someone would make you one locally, if you pay for mats and labor. Looks like a 30 minute job.

Closest I could find, no handles though.

I'd hit up a bunch of thrift shops for a big-ass cast iron pan

Still using these from my tour of service in the trenches at Papa John's

>>20179640
so make it for me and sell it to me

b-but thermal mass

>>20179612
Try getting a Halo Pizza oven. The controls are on the front and the stone rotates, making it ideal for use on a balcony or other small space.

>hates actually crispy crust
sorry guys, i'm not gay.

>>20179740
>on a balcony or other small space
it can't be used indoors unless you're VERY well-ventilated, so not really useable in an apartment unless you've got a balcony or patio.

>>20179769
It's an outdoor oven; but even a small outdoor space works.

>>20179715
I have brainrot, no pizza steel can save me.

forgot image

>>20179795
I am just incredibly cheap

>>20179655
maybe you're right, i apologize.
there's no clear thickness specification listed and people seem to be all over the place on their own measurement. but weight does seem to be half or less so that says enough

>>20179612
Get a $50, 18" charcoal grill from a box store and a stone for like, $40 from Walmart. Add a $20 chimney starter and a $15 bag of charcoal. Throw in a $25 peel and there's your $150, except you can cook way more than just pizza on it. Get it ripping hot (it'll hit 750° easy, and do hotter if you like), start your pizza on it and let the crust get good and charred, then finish in a 400° oven. Wala.

Walmart sells a cast iron one, I think it's Lodge.
It was cheap and works better than any stone or steal I have used in the past.

>>20179863
>steal

>>20179867
i wonder what skin tone he is

>>20179612
Just get some mild steel plate, remove the millscale with muriatic acid, or elblow grease, season it and there you go.
Most steel places will cut if for you, or have pre-cut pieces.
Then you can weld on handles. You can make them out of rebar or just find ones that are made out of steel.

You probably can use cast iron pan with similar effect, but your pizza would be limited to the size of the pan.

>>20179612
What's the dimensions on that? A 12 X 12 plate is running around $75, so $150 seems fair for a finished product.

16x16 for a 16" NY style 'zza

I use a lodge cast iron pizza pan. Pic related

>>20179715
Thank you for your service !

>>20179612
this rectangle is 16x12in, 1/4" A36 steel, $100 with free shipping if you're in the US. Whip up a simple rectangle with handles in cad, have it laser cut, bend the handles to the correct angle yourself in a vise or something.

>>20180946
14x14 is the minimum and id prefer 16x16 or 16x20 or similar, and id like 0.375 (3/8") over 1/4".

>>20180960
Do you really think you need that extra 0.125"? I can't imagine the extra thermal mass would make any real difference with your pizza.
16x16 1/4" is $132 or $92/ea if you buy 2, 3/8" is $200 or $120/ea if you buy 2.

>>20180985
Nta, but I got my 3/8" (14x18) for $130. So those prices are kinda high.

>>20181042
>NTA
go back

>>20180985
I probably don't NEED it, but I'd like it.
I'll wait and see if this guys' Etsy shop opens up again soon, otherwise yeah ill get something like >>20179697
>>20181042
