Need a Le Creuset stainless steel knob but everyone is sold out.
I've been searching for about a week and I've gone to numerous sites and called lots of places but I just can't find a knob. Any ideas on where I can get one? Maybe somebody has a spare?

These knobs are flying off the shelves because everyone's making the Mark Bittman/Cook's Illustrated No-Knead Bread. For a quick and easy solution, just take a trip down to your local hardward store and look for metal cabinet knobs/drawer pulls. If possible, bring your lip or the original knob so you can ensure that you get the right size.

(I should add...the bread recipe calls for heating the pan in a hotter-than-Le Creuset-approved oven, which is causing some knobs to melt. Hence the run on knobs.)

I was making the no-knead bread at my parents' place recently and they had a Le Creuset with the black knob, I just unscrewed the knob and put the screw back into the hole so that the steam wouldn't escape, I used oven mitts to take the lid off and on; it worked out just fine.

Maybe try calling their outlet store (which sells first-quality products, nto your usual outlet mall stuff) in Destin, Fl. It's in the Silver Sands Outlet mall. Their phone # is 850-654-5900. Hope this helps.

your hardware store is your best idea - I replaced mine for a little
over $ 2.00 with a nice looking brass knob

I have an extra one (still in the wrapper). Email me at bbqja@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Would wrapping it with a thick wad of foil help? I did that when I tried the Bittman bread recipe, and the knob was fine.

Dave,
Where are you? Broadway Panhandler in Greenwich Village, NYC has them. Or, chances are, you could contact Le Creuset and pay an arm and a leg in shipping if the mood dictates.

Unfortunately jpolk I live in the most southern tip of Texas. Thanks to everyone for you suggestions. Thankfully nooner helped me out. I'm glad everyone on this site is really nice.
