Stone for Egg

cheid1977

I am having trouble finding thick pieces of granite, slate, or other stone to put beneath my egg.  Would putting a thick piece of wood and the stone on top work? Or would that be a fire hazard if the stone gets hot with the wood beneath?  Thanks.

Why so thick?  I use 3/4" terrazzo tiles that are 24"x24", add the green feet (4 are good if you can get them).

Go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up a paver for a few bucks.

I second this one - this doesn't need to be pretty - and likely it will get its share of ash, water and the elements on it.  I have an 12x12' cement paver and it does the job just fine.

...or go to any local hardware store and get fire bricks.  They are only 1.25 inches thick and work great.
