We bought two. These are so great. Crust turns out cripy and we add some wood chips to the grill for a hint of smokey flavor. Excellent quality, came sooner than Amazon said.

I bought this stone for my husband because I broke his last one. We've only used it twice so far, but it is a great stone, and we really love the handled carrier. It makes bringing it in from the outside grill very easy. I would definitely recommend this stone.

This works nicely. I seem to get the best pizza around 450 degrees or so. One of those IR gun thermometers is a nice way to check the surface temp of the stone. If the temp gets too high, the crust burns before the toppings are ready. Otherwise, you're better off doing thin crust pizza with very light toppings.

The handles are nice to pull the pizza off the grill. That's probably the biggest advantage here. If you don't care about that, you might be able to get a better stone for the money. I've got a Best Manufacturing stone also sold on Amazon for the oven.

This basically though gives a real nice crispy crunch. You can cook pizza at home without heating up the kitchen.

This is a great pizza stone that works magnificently. The handles on it make it easy to pull on and off the grill and are overall helpful. The only downfall is that the handles also make it oddly shaped and difficult to store; if you have limited space this might be problematic.

We would recommend this grill pizza stone to anyone. It works excellent we have had nothing but great pizzas on it. It was a gift for my husband for Father's day and he just loves it and couldn't be happier. It cooks very even and has enough room for four mini pizzas no problem. This is a great new addition to his grilling tools. Thanks for a great product.

No more burnt bottoms with underdone toppings! This pizza stone is a winner. We've been using our Weber grill to make pizza for years, especially in the summer so we don't have to heat up the kitchen. This stone is easy to use. You will need a pizza peel (paddle) so go ahead and order one with the stone. Use corn meal on the paddle, place the dough and build your pie, then slip right off onto the preheated stone and bake. Wow its good!

Flimsy. Used it once, and a few days later, picked it up and it broke. Don't waste your money. I gave it one star because there is no zero star.

This is a simple product: a stone with an attractive rack. The picture matches the product. The dimensions are correct.
The problem comes with the instruction manual. It is a little booklet with one small page for each language. So effectively, you get one small page of instructions (tear your language out and throw the book away). The instructions do tell you how to clean the stone before use and protect it from shock by warming it up in a cool oven. The single page even gives a recipe. Nice so far.
But when I put the pizza on for the recommended amount of time then opened up the grill upon smelling the wonderful aroma, the bottom was black and the top not so cooked. Obviously I had the fire too hot and the grill dome was too far from the pizza. Too bad that I was cooking for guests, the pizza was char, and the experience was less than wonderful.
Maybe even in this tough economy Webber could hire a food writer, someone who could experiment with the stone on the grill and write a nice little suggested usage guide. It would include some ideas for raising the stone, the heat setting, and other basics. The writer could even get some press in food magazines and people would buy more stones. The employment rate would go down and the world would be a happier place.
By the way, the manual does not say whether it is okay to cut on the stone. Even though the stone and rack are supposedly for serving, I'm sure that the future writer will recommend that the stone and rack cool slowly on the grill. Remove the pizza with a peel and cut on a board. Etching the stone with a knife then tapping over the years will probably wreck another dinner party.

Overall we like the stone but are learning how to use it!

First Pizza was a disaster!!! Crust stuck to stone so badly that we mostly ate the toppings. Where we couldn't get the crust off, the crust continued to cook / burn even after the bbq was off as the stone retained the heat. We did use corn meal but not enough. Cook time was not 7 - 10 mins as expected.

Second Pizzas were better. We did 2 smaller pizzas and used tons of corn meal on the stone (no such thing as too much!). Crust cooked in about 8 mins and didn't stick as before. We used a thermostat in the bbq.... 500 degrees we were certain. Used an instant crust vs homemade.

Lesson learned: Prep for toppings takes more time than expected. Homemade crust takes more time and from what little I had does taste better but it's nice to buy the instant crust and be less emotionally vested if it doesn't work out. Less is more... as in go easy on the sauce and toppings...except for corn meal. Cleaning a stone w/burnt on pizza dough is a lousy way to spend an evening.

Ordered as a Christmas present, opened Christmas Eve with plans of pizza on the grill ... Stone was in two pieces. Returned on Dec 29 and promptly received a new one on January 3rd! Opened it again with great exictement ... Once again, stone was in two pieces. Am returning for a refund and will try to shop locally. Great idea but .......very very disappointed in delivery.
