Shattered stone
Still trying to master pizza. Should be simple. Delicious each time, looks like a glob. I started the Egg, put the stone in at about 250 degrees and left everything in place, plate setter, feet up, grill, two fire bricks, stone. Prepared the pizza inside, dough at room temperature, added the sauce, all the parts and pieces, cheese etc and when I opened the dome to put the pizza on the stone, it shattered at the edge. Of course it then required some manual placement using spatula's, gloved hands and canoe paddles to put it all back together on what was left of the stone. Had that stone for about 20 years.... Is there a secret?
Portsmouth, VA. LBGE. Missed all this fun till now. Update: Minimax added to arsenal. Hint, don't take off camping for a month after getting a LBGE, and leave it home, it'll cost you plenty.

Seriously, not canoe paddles, but it just wouldn't have made much difference if I did use them.

Not sure what caused your stone to shatter. I always put my stone in right after I light ithe lump so it can come to temp along with the egg. Perhaps putting it in once the egg was already at 250 caused some stress and the resulting break. I wouldn't think so though.XL BGE

I don't know much, but everything has a shelf life. It seems like 20 years is a pretty good run.

Was it a Pampered Chef stone? Those are notorious for doing that. The BGE stone is thick and can take high temps.They/Them

The stones that are commonly used in the oven will eventually fail on an egg. Buy the thicker ones made for the egg etc.
