Pizza Stone Question for LBGE
Options

Posts: 26
I want to purchase a pizza stone and want to get my fellow eggster's opinion.
Should I purchase the 14' from BGE or a 16" which is recommended from the Naked Whiz's site?
What size do you prefer and why?
Fire away!!

i've got the 13" one from the ceramic grill store because I bought the adjustable rig customer combo, and that came with the rig and the spider and the stone. 13" is too small, i have to make way too many pies. Next stop is a 16" stone. From what I hear that's the largest that will fit on top of the rig+extender. Which puts it nice and high up in the dome for great radiant heat.

Well, it depends on what size pizzas you are cooking. I usually cook Costco pizzas, which are 16" in diameter. I have a 16" dia stone, and so they fit perfectly.If you were to put a 16" pizza on a 14" stone, the edges would hang over the side.FWIW, I have this 16" stone from "Old Stone Oven" and have been very satisfied w/ it:Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

I used BGE one for several years and I'm happy with it but after reading your post I added the old stone 16" to my wishlist

I make smaller pies so the 14" BGE stone works great for me. I didn't consider buying premade 16" pies but that sounds like a good idea, I'd get the 16" if I could do over.LBGE, Weber OTG w/ Rotisserie, Weber Genesis S-330, Chargriller Duo, AR-15, AK-47

I have a LBGE and I have a 16" stone and there sufficient room for ventilation.

I will purchase the 16" then from Amazon. Thanks for the input all!

Another question do you use and wood chunks for your pies? What flavor of smoke? When do you put it on?
-
I don't use any wood for smoke with pizza....its easy to go overboard. If I'm looking for a smokey flavor, I add it in the toppings....bacon, smoked cheese, etc.

Thanks Quinn

These are a a little thicker than most pizza stones I see on Amazon....this company uses the same material for commercial ovens. I'd try one, but I already have a stone.

I like to add a little wood when I do mac-n-cheese but went overboard a couple of weeks back, it was so smoky it was basically inedible.

Get the Bigger one or you will regret it and end up with two.
