Weber Pizza Stone

[Steve Harratt]

Hi All

What are your thoughts on the above cast iron stone. I have mixed feelings at the moment.

Be good to hear your thoughts

I noticed the very conspicuous silence on this thread . . .hmmm.

Is that really because no one here has tried/has an opinion on it, or because it's not so great, and no one wants to offend Weber? Can honest discussion be done via p.m.?

I bought the interchangeable system ( all but the pizza stone ) to get the griddle and ceramic cast iron grate, not really considering the pizza stone. But now I am interested. Would be great if by one small additional purchase, my cooking system could be finished, but not gonna do it if it is not so great. Opinions?

So Weber has a CI pizza stone?

I've used the "regular" stone in the GBS system and it worked pretty good.

But it's long since been traded as I have a few other pizza options I like better.

No, the stone isn't cast iron. Their stone fits down into the top grate, as do the other pieces in the system, such as ceramic coated searing grate, cast iron griddle, maybe more.

But, no one has commented, making we skeptical.

OK, cool

OP mentioned 'cast iron stone' so I thought I missed something

Like I said, it worked good for me. And like any other Weber attachment, you'd need to play with it to get a feel for it.

If you keep looking around you'll find that there are several different options for pizza making if that's what you're looking to do. But for the occasional pizza, it's a grate option.

I haven't used the Weber branded stone but have used a pizza stone the way Weber does. It works great for high hydration dough, not so much for lower hydration doughs.
