Last time I was at my local nursery, I was amazed at the prices charged for 
terra-cotta pottery.  I did see some terra-cotta in the form of a large pie 
plate.  It is designed for use with pots, and I presume to hold water.  These 
may be suitable as a baking stone but I do not know advantages and 
disadvantages of doing so.  Nevertheless, for those desparage for a stone, 
look in at such a place.
