Elmoclayman Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had a friend that was asking if I could create a pizza stone for use with his bbq. I work mainly with stoneware and always felt that putting my ceramics over an open flame would cause cracking or breakage. Has anyone created a pizza stone? what type of clay worked best?

Mark C. Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 There has been a lot said before. Type in pizza stone in search box then click on forums (not this topic) There are 8 threads on this subject-for some reason I cannot add the link?

neilestrick Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just buy a kiln shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I agree totally-just buy a small kiln shelve-they work. I wish TJR would let us know how his clay one worked-maybe they never picked it up? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I made one for my son about 5 years ago he had a small oven and had to have a specific size and being a chef he wanted it a inch and half thick. I use some C5/6 clay and wedged grog into it, ran it through my slab roller and then did a lot of compressing with a rib. It had some fine cracks in the bottom, he said he'll just use it until it breaks. It is still in one piece but I don't think it would hold up to a grill's flame, the stone I made gets heated up slowly for an hour. Nice thing about kiln shelves you can get them in different sizes and shapes or cut them down with a tile saw to fit his grill. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
