You can try soaking it in water for awhile before using it in your oven.

My wooden peel did not work very well for getting under the pizza. I guess the best thing to get would be a brush, peel and small peel to flip the pizza around?
You are dead on here!

I have seen the inferred thermometers on this site but can't find much about them. Do you sues them a lot? Is there a preferred company that sells them?
Everyone seems to love the one that James sells on this site. It also has a hookup for a thermocouple. I think most people use them a lot in the beginning, but after they get to know their oven I don't think they use them as much.

Are there any other useful tools I am missing?
I use my hoe constantly. It's great for moving wood around. But remember to soak it first. My first handle burnt clean through. And a flat shovel is handy for cleaning out ashes.

I hope this helps.
