Pizza stones

What size of pizza stones do you own for your egg? Is the pizza stone for the xl egg worth the money?

    Yeah, it's a good one. Check into a 'Baking Steel' .. I have one, it's awesome.

    Get a good thick stone.  The cheap ones from Wal Mart, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. will break.   The BGE one is good but also check the Ceramic Grill Store.  I think Tom has some as well

    Yes and it is big and heavy.  I got one for Christmas.  It is about 5/8" to 3/4" thick and about 21' to 22" round I think.  Worth the money, just don't drop it.

    IMHO you don't need a  XL stone for an XL egg. How big a pizza will you make?

    Get a L stone, or better yet, a steel (multiple brands available).

    Agree unless you want a really big pizza.  Mine was a gift so I'm not complaining.  The 12" weights around 7 pounds so the biggest one for the XL is about 14 pounds.  Most pizzas I cook are around 12" or more so it is a good size for me.  There is a 2 level set up for the large that I have seen before that is pretty cool.   Many choices out there.

    For sure spend some money on it, the cheap one's are very thin like half inch or something and most likely break soon. I started with a cheap one, then bought the BGE. (smallest for MM)
