Before you choose

The manufacturer gives 15 lb on the product page and 16 lb in its FAQ. Use the heavier figure when deciding whether cold handling and rack loading are practical.
A steel has no dough-weight limit here. Arrange your shaped loaf footprints on its 16 × 14 in surface and allow the recipe’s spacing.
The stated 500–550°F preheat guidance is a use instruction, not permission for an arbitrary higher temperature.

Check dough weight and shape separately from oven dimensions. One passing measurement cannot confirm the whole setup.

Care and storage

Hand wash, dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil.

Plan where the equipment will go when your bake is finished. See the cooling and storage handoff for the loaf itself.
