• Q: What is the Hot Ash 16" Cordierite Pizza Stone used for?
  A: This pizza stone is designed to create perfectly crispy crusts on pizzas, bread, and other baked goods. It absorbs moisture from the dough and distributes heat evenly, mimicking the effects of a traditional brick oven. It's an essential accessory for achieving authentic results on your grill or fire pit.
• Q: What are the benefits of a Cordierite pizza stone?
  A: Cordierite is a ceramic material highly prized for pizza stones due to its exceptional thermal shock resistance (less likely to crack from rapid temperature changes), excellent heat retention, and ability to draw moisture from dough, resulting in a crispy crust. It heats up quickly and maintains a consistent high temperature.
• Q: Can I use this pizza stone on my regular grill or just the Hot Ash Rambler Pizza Oven?
  A: This 16" Cordierite Pizza Stone is designed to be grill and fire pit compatible. While it's the standard stone for the Hot Ash Rambler/Rover Pizza Oven, it can also be used on most gas grills, charcoal grills, or directly over a suitable Hot Ash fire pit setup (e.g., with a grill grate) to transform them into pizza-making stations.
• Q: How do I preheat the pizza stone for best results?
  A: Always place the cold pizza stone onto a cold grill or in a cold oven. Then, gradually preheat the grill/oven to your desired high temperature (ideally 700-900°F for pizza) and allow the stone to preheat for at least 30-45 minutes after the air temperature is reached. This ensures the stone itself is fully saturated with heat for a perfect crust.
• Q: How do I clean and care for my Cordierite Pizza Stone?
  A: After use, allow the stone to cool completely. Scrape off any burnt-on food with a stiff brush or spatula. For tougher stains, you can use a pizza stone scraper. Never use soap or detergents as the porous material will absorb them, leading to soapy-tasting food. Avoid submerging the stone in water, as excessive moisture can cause it to crack. A damp cloth can be used for light wiping. Discoloration over time is normal and indicates a well-seasoned stone.
• Q: Can I put frozen pizza directly on the stone?
  A: It is generally not recommended to place frozen food directly onto a hot pizza stone due to the potential for thermal shock, which can cause the stone to crack. Allow frozen pizzas to thaw slightly before placing them on the preheated stone.
