Pizza Stone Storage Question

SaintJohnsEgger · January 2017

How do you guys store your pizza stones when not in use?

I have the BGE plate setter, a 15" stone from PizzaCraft, the 13" stone I got with my AR combo as well as the PSWoo. I have too much stuff to store it all in the egg. So I got one of these - https://www.lowes.com/pd/LIFETIME-PRODUCTS-60-in-L-x-24-in-W-130-Gallon-Tan-HDPE-Deck-Box/3169925

I already had one for the pool supplies so I know they are sturdy (will seat 250 lbs) . I got some small clear containers to stack in it for wood chunks/chips. But, I 'm not sure how to best store the stones.

I've found that the easiest thing to do is just copy what you guys (and gals) do. That way I don't waste a lot of money learning from my mistakes. Just imitate the best.

I just keep my stone in the bottom of my oven.
Take it out when I want to use if for the egg or raise it up to a rack if I want to use it in the oven.

Otherwise, I scrape off any melted food which might burn and just leave it in there. That way it never gets knocked/cracked and I read somewhere that it's actually good to have in your oven to provide a steady radiating heat source on traditional cooks. Anyway, have done it for 15 years and haven't had a problem. I kind of just forget about it until I need it...

Plate setters and my AR rack stone are just stored in an outdoor cabinet, similar to the one you found. I use this one; storage cabinet.

Thanks @KiterTodd

I may get away with storing it in the oven and telling SWMBO that it will help with heat distribution. I already keep some CI in the bottom of the oven and she isn't happy about removing them when she uses the oven.

I plan on building a table top that will fit on top of my storage bin to use as a place to sit hot stuff. I already have that designed in my head. I'll read the thread you linked to for some more suggestions.

I store many of my accessories and supplies in a deck box with a couple of clear storage containers to organize things. I store my stones, drip pans and extra grids vertically along one side and use my ceramic cap as a stop (you could use a brick or a rock).

I just use a lidded plastic box to store my PS & stone and slide it under my table.

I have a deep cabinet and drawer in the kitchen that is right by the patio door

This sure beats using the gasser for storage.
