You paid 30 euros for two 20cm x 40cm x 1.5cm plates?!? No offense, but that sounds way too good to be true.
I think that peel is, how did you put it? Utter crap :) Wood is absolutely critical for the launch, because, as the skin sits on it, it absorbs some moisture, which gives you considerably more time than metal does before the skin starts to stick.
It's not that ideal, and should only be temporary as you're looking for a real wood peel, but a thick-ish piece of cardboard will work pretty well- better than aluminum will.
Does Metro carry any wood peels?
This is the metal peel that you want for turning and retrieving:

The size should be just about right for a 40cm pie, and the price can't be beat. It looks like it's coming from China, which could take a while, so I'd order it quickly.
I can't tell if this is in stock or not, but this is the peel you want:

You want the larger one- the 2616. This may have some trouble fitting in your oven, so you might need to sand down the sides a bit. This is the same one:

but shipped from the U.S., and marked up accordingly.
You went through a lot of trouble to get a 40cm steel. Don't shortchange yourself with a small peel. You might not make 40cm pies right out of the gate, but, trust me, eventually you will.
Re; the flour you ordered. Yes, that's one of the ones I recommended. Perfect.
The cheese blocks we have here are about 2.5kg and look like this:

3 euros for 150g is about how much we pay for scarmoza here. It is kind of extreme. It's the best cheese you'll ever find for pizza, but the price you pay for that level of quality is just too high.
On my last trip to my local distributor one of the blocks was firm but not yellow. I'm not sure how they achieved this, but, don't always go by color. Yellow and firm is ideal, but white and firm is still much better than white and soft.
Re; the photos. Metro most likely has security cameras in place, so, even if no one is around, try to be discreet about the photos.
hey, we keep the ol' questions in the bi-weekly threads (stickied at the top of the main feed.)
That being said, check out these two peels:
Like /u/RockinghamRaptor said, the wood is for launching (dust it with semolina) and the metal is for retrieving / rotating.
Thanks for the help. I ended up buying AM 2616 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001MRSKM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Should we add a peel recommendation thing in the Resources? Thoughts on a "recommended gear guide" like r/coffee - https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/wiki/index#wiki_gear
