    Just buy a thick one, some nightmares of exploding thin pizza stones. I'm waiting for mine to explode before I buy a new one.

    I've had my BGE stone since I got my large 5 years ago. Been thru 900° cooks without incident. 5/8" thick. I would buy again. There are other stones out there too. Fibrament and Cordierite are supposed to be good material, soapstone too. I have also heard good things about Emile Henry stones. 

    Just don't buy one of those pretend stones that they sell at Bed Bath and Beyond. No Pampered Chef either.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I picked up mine at my local ACE Hardware - they stock them all the time. If you've got one nearby, that's where I'd go for most BGE-produced accessories.

    Take a look at The Baking Steel. For my large egg I paid $75 dollars. It's indestructible.

    Baking steels aren't substitutes for a ceramic stone.  They completely change the dynamic between the rate the bottom and top of a pizza cook.  That's not saying they aren't an awesome tool, but you have to insulate them if you're gonna cook pizza on the egg, I burned the crap out of a few pizzas before I figured that out.

    the BGE one works for me, it's been up as high as @Carolina_Q is talking many of times. When you buy it, make sure you look at it to make sure it's not cracked, many times they crack in shipping.
