Do you use your pizza stone in the house oven?

I know, I did say the "0" word but I do still use my oven. When I use the pizza stone in the oven it emits an odor that I find offensive. I was wondering if anyone else notices it. Last night I made naan pizzas on my cast iron pan and not only did I not have an odor but they were better than on the stone.

I haven't used my BGE stone in my BGE in over a year. Oven pies only. I also have a 14x17x5/8" stone I bought long before I got an egg. I place it on the top rack and the BgE stone below. Very even cooking, top and bottom, from 450-725*. Much easier too. The only way to fly.

@CarolinaQ do you notice an odor coming from the stones when you heat them up? Did my stone absorb too much smoke from the egg?

Carolina Q

No odor from either stone. The rectangular one was from Williams Sonoma. The other, a BGE. The BGE stone has been used in my egg, though not even close to recently. No odor ever.

Thanks for the info. I just wonder what happened to my stone.

Just run your oven through a self clean cycle with stone inside.  No odor will remain after that.

@Cowdogs. I was wondering if that would work without having the stone explode. I will give it a try. Thanks. ;;)
