Hi yeah, thanks for that, I started off using the parchment paper
thing, I thought it would make things easier to get the dough on the
stone, but it stuck like buggery, so I never did that again. I couldn't
manage to use it as a peel either. I do have a peel. Sits at the back
of the cupboard gathering dust and cobwebs. : -)

I was, by pure coincidence watching Heston Blumenthal (See Wiki if you
go Huhh?) on TV last night. He made pizza on the back of a hot frying
pan under the grill. It looked great, really fantastic, and it was done
in two minutes.
