This is the first time I have posted any question and am not sure if 
I am sending this to the right email address, so pardon me if I am 
not doing this properly....

I have a question about my pizza stone. I bought one on sale for a 
very reasonable amount, and realized too late that it does not have 
any kind of carrier for it. (That is probably why it was cheap!)  It 
is 16 inches in diameter and is too heavy to handle when it is hot, 
without some kind of carrier. As a result, I havent used it very 
much. Does anyone know where I could get a carrier for a 16 inch stone?

If I use it for bread that I have in a conventional bread pan, do I 
just put the bread pan directly on the stone to bake?  (I do know 
that the stone has to be heated before putting the bread in to bake).=20

Would appreciate any suggestions. I have been baking bread for many 
years and just within the past few years have enjoyed experimenting 
with other than 'conventional' flours.  Now I would like to try 
recipes that would make use of the stone, but have hesitated because 
of the weight of the thing!

Thank you.
