      Misread the design, sorry still foggy from this bug I'm dealing with. So 20 at those dimensions it is. Only one side polished with a channel/grease trap. Simple enough, will get on a estimate in the morning.

        Thanks man! The pictures in the article should help convey the design to the maker.

        Think it, be it.

          You got it…I'm already thinking about the benefits of outdoor cooking with it on camping trips. Might need a stand to set it on for such uses too.

            Some handles would be great. They could stick straight out from the sides as to not interfere with reversing the pan. I want one btw.

              It shouldn't be stainless steel- the Baking Steel folks use low carbon A36 structural steel plate.  I'm no metallurgist, but I think that's more porous, which makes it possible to season it like cast iron, which you can't do with stainless steel.  It would be good to sandblast some texture onto it, too.

              I'd be interested, if it works out.

                You're correct Chris, structural steel it is.

                  Got up with my buddy this morning and passed specs on to him. He put me on to a couple other shops that work in made to order projects as well. Should have a few pricing options for this soon enough.

                      Any Deadheads in here? I'd love to get my hands on some good recordings. I used to have a bunch of cassettes but they got lost over the years and I'm left with a collection that feels very sterile, if that makes any sense. Anyone want to trade some shows?

                        Are you familiar with Archive.org? https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

                        Pretty much unless you want to burn CDs or have files on a device of soundboard recordings, that's all you need. Most shows, even Bertha soundboards, stream fine (and there are mobile apps) and you can download any non-SBD show in FLAC, SHN, ogg, MP3, etc.

                              Any time–if I could get my massive archive organized I'd trade away 🙂

                              So regarding the griddle / baking steel, my buddy is negotiating with a shop in Minneapolis, they're under $700 for 20 and he thinks he can work it down further. If we wanted them plasma cut it adds a couple hundred, but that seems wholly unnecessary to me. @jdl1279 please keep plugging away on your end and we'll get the best deal and then figure out payment.

                                No problem Mclain, will update as numbers come in. That seems pretty reasonable on your end, though couldn't complain if we could get it for less. Plasma cut is completely unnecessary for these.

                                  Noooooo!!!!! The reason why old cast iron is so sought out these days is because they sanded out the texture from the casting, leaving it super smooth. That's why grandma's cast iron is like teflon, and your eggs stick to your five year old Lodge.  These guys make heirloom quality cast iron for example, with smooth cooking surface http://store.finexusa.com/finex-12-cast-iron-skillet/

                                          Seems like a couple of months ago my phone just stopped showing the mobile layout.
