The difference between the stone and the metal is the stone, properly preheated, will draw moisture out of the crust, making it crispier but with the chewy, not cracker, texture, c.oser to New Haven style.

I know that's the rule Leo, but It doesn't effect my bread or pizza's that way. I've been baking bread on my 14" CI pizza pan for a couple of years now and get a nice brown chewy crust.
