pita help

[Irishfuente]

i wanto to bake some pita dough receipe says need 500 degree oven ans stone. Could i use my gasser with griddle?

Yep, should work just fine. Things like pita, tortillas, naan, etc. are more about what you're cooking them on than the ambient temp. Just get your griddle screaming hot and let it recover between batches and you'll be fine.

Maybe I'm pointing out the obvious, but I'll mention it anyways, just in case --

You'll want to check the temp of the griddle surface, not the temp of the air inside the gasser. Due to radiant heating, the griddle surface is likely to be quite a bit hotter than the air temp. An infrared (IR) thermometer would work great in this situation.
