Product Features

This is the only ceramic baking stone coated with a non-stick, porcelain-glaze finish for easy clean-up and is available in two sizes (16 inch and 13 inch) to fit just about any grill.

How a Pizza Stone Works

Why  does a pizza stone work so much better than just putting the pizza directly on the grill surface, or with another flat surface like aluminum foil or baking pan? The key is in the heat transfer.  As the coals burn and generate heat, the heat radiates to the bottom of the pizza stone.  As the stone heats up, the entire thing acts as a cooking surface. Not only does the head spread out and become more even, the temp is regulated so the pizza is not exposed to the much higher temps of the coals. Once you let the stone and the grill heat up, it’s much easier to maintain constant temp  when opening and closing for multiple pizzas.  I’ve done 15 pizzas in a row for my extended family, each cooking about 5-7 minutes. Some of the heat makes it round the stone and to the top of the grill, and is what cooks the pizza from the top down. The result is a crispy (but not burnt) crust, yet top that is also perfectly done.  This is very hard to achieve without a pizza stone. The Primo pizza stone is made from the same ceramic material their grills are made from…so you know they can take the heat. Avoid using pizza stones made for indoor ovens…they are too thin and will likely crack.  This was what exactly happened to my previous pizza stone.  

The Primo porcelain glazed pizza stone will fit any grill with an inner diameter greater than 16 inches.

 The Top Benefit is…

…the pizza crust cooked on the grill fast and at high temp.  I typically bake my pizzas at least at 450° Fahrenheit or higher, preferably above 500°.  If you use fresh-made pizza dough, the result is a crispy yet chewy crust that rivals some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. They cook in about 5-7 minutes, which perfectly cooks the pizza crust, turning the outer layers crispy, yet keeping the inside crust moist and chewy (yet fully cooked).

Cleaning and Maintenance

I’ll be honest, I’ve owned my Primo Pizza Stone for several years and have yet to clean it (other than scraping off a little burnt residue from time to time).  The high temp of the grill self-cleans the stone, turning everything to soot which easily wipes away once the stone has cooled. As for maintenance, there isn’t any.  You do risk chipping or cracking the stone of you drop it onto a hard surface (it’s ceramic, after all).  If this happens, you are best to contact the manufacturer for advice.  I don’t advise gluing something like this – you are cooking food on this and don’t want glue fumes to work their way into your food.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Porcelain surface is effectively non-stick.
  • Any residue can be easily scraped off with no damage to the surface
  • Made of coarse ceramic 0.5 inches thick.
  • The ceramic is guaranteed 20 years by the manufacture.
  • 16 inch diameter allows for large pizzas, evenly cooked to perfection.

Cons:

  • Heavy, but durable.
  • 16 inch diameter size is large to store.
  • Porcelain surface is slick – I’ve almost pushed entire pizzas off the stone early when I bought the stone.
  • The underside is rough, and not recommended for indoor ovens because you might scratch the chrome grills in the oven.
