    IMO, pizza steels work a lot better than pizza stones (but they work best if you put the steel on top of a stone)

      I was actually going to say the same thing. I replaced my stone with one a few years ago when I dropped it and it shattered.

      Wait, the steel on top of the stone? I find that putting the steel or stone a few inches above another steel or stone gives really really good results

        Yeah absolutely! The reason steel is usually preferred is that while it doesn't have the heat capacity that a stone would have, it does transfer heat at a greater rate than a stone. Ideally, a steel on top of a stone (or just very near the stone) both minimizes the cooling that the cold dough causes in the heating surface while also maximizing the rate of heat transfer into the dough.
