D@#$>:( was taking out the great bread that i make and i dropped my stone

so mad because it was perfect; don't want to buy a really expensive brand; but want something that is going to last; does anyone have any recommendations?

i am afraid to just go out and buy tile

thanks for any suggestions

I don't know where you live, but I saw one in my local grocery store, HEB, for $10.00.

I have had this one for several years and really like it.

It was given to me as a gift, so I had no idea it was so pricey! It's a lot thicker than the cheaper one I used to have, so it has to heat up for 40+ minutes to get really hot.

I have one I bought at World Market for $12 and it has never cracked at 500 degrees. I use it to make pizza once a week.

I now use a lodge cast iron 14" "pizza pan" instead of a baking stone. I get the same crisp crust but it heats up faster, has two handles and is more versatile than the pizza stone, imo. It's also pretty hard to break!

Go to a tile store and ask for firebrick that is used to line brick ovens. Designed to withstand high temps.
