Smithy,

 

Thanks for sharing your experiences with baking pita. I would certainly love to partake.

 

Something that I have found very useful for baking breads like pizza, naan  and your pitas is not only more durable than a pizza stone, cheaper than a specialty baking steel, but also multi tasking. It's the enameled cast iron reversible flat griddle/ribbed grill that came with my gas grill. You could use it in the oven for breads or on the grill or campfire for eggs, bacon or pancakes. It could be flipped to the ribbed grill side for shrimp or other small items if you don't have room for a long/handled fish basket. It is quite heavy, so it has that drawback.

 

Thank you for that suggestion.  We'll be driving into town in the next few days, and I'll look for something along those lines.  I had one a few years ago that I'd picked up at, oh, Kohl's I think? using a special discount coupon.  It was a good-sized heavy Bobby Flay reversible griddle.  Very practical for trailer use! 9_9 It turned out to be too big to fit in our trailer oven and too large for the two of us.  In the end I gave it to my step-daughter, an ace cook who routinely entertains several families at once with her outdoor cookery. Maybe I can find a smaller version of that.
