BGE Pizza Stone & Cleaning

Does anyone own a BGE pizza stone?  If so, has anyone cleaned the stone in their home oven?  I have a fibrament stone, which I used in my home oven, and cleaned the stone when I cleaned my oven with no breakage, problems whatsoever.  Any info on whether or not the BGE Pizza Stone can be cleaned in a home oven, please advise

    I've had NO problem heating up my BGE pizza stone to temps above 1000F to clean it and when I come out the next AM to check on a cooled down Egg, the stone looks like new

    In 15 years of heavy use I have never cleaned mine. It is a rich shiny black. If there are any runs or burnt crud I use  putty knife to scrape them off and a paper towel to finish it. Why do you feel a need to clean it?

    I've been using mine to fill in a plate setter gap so it's gotten lots of good drippings on it. When it gets hot I just scrap it off with my grill brush. No problems so far and pizzas still taste great

    Forgot to answer your question about cleaning the stone.  I just always cleaned my fibrament stone so it's just a habit I got into and thought I'd also clean the BGE stone when needed.

    I understand. OTOH if you don't like to clean up BGE pieces be sure to become a believer in covering your plate setter with foil. Pizza stone crud doesn't hold a candle to some of the horrible crap that gets baked on an uncovered PS!

    When I sold my large egg the pizza stone was filthy so I did a clean burn with the stone down on the spider so the stone was probably 800 plus degrees and it cracked it.
