Rugrat, care to share a link?

I've got this: www.amazon.co.uk/Outdoor-Pizza-Oven-Complete-Tool/dp/B005EN3L8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334836492&sr=8-1

Not sure if they've changed it since but the peel I have isn't as wide as that, it's thin. I plan on buying a wider one.

The cheapo grey and yellow infra red thermometers on ebay are surpisingly good, mine said it was only rated to 380 degrees but it goes upto 600 and tested with my mates posh one its only about 5-10degrees out.

I bought a set from here:

www.terracottawarehouse.co.uk/woodburningpizzaovens.html

slightly more expensive than the Amazon set but I've been very happy with them.

I have been very pleased with the peels I bought from Amazon - for example see www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00557NDL6/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00

I put several coats of varnish/stain stuff on the handles, & they look the business.

I got my Peel from Nisbets. They do three different sizes for the catering trade. Mines the middle size. They do other useful stuff as well.

Depending how you manage the process, I've found that having 2 peels works best: 1 to transfer the pizza into the oven and a smaller one which is used for turning the pizza.

I invariably cook one pizza at a time and tend to get a guest to look after the cooking and turning part of the process whilst I do the making part. No shortage of people willing to help, in fact usually the opposite.

Hi!

Got mine from drinkstuff.com but you need to spend £50 to get free delivery.

Pizza peels:
www.drinkstuff.com/products/search.asp?SearchField=pizza%20peel

Oven brush:
www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?SearchField=oven+brush&ID=9434

The brush doubles as an ash scraper. Very sturdy.

Don't be tempted by the brushes you see in Garden Centres. Some of them have gold bristles but they are not brass, just coloured steel and will damage the oven floor.
