Use Half Stones, perfect way to get more bang for your buck.......

No where in the grilling/BBQ good book does it say, the ceramic stone needs to be a full stone. We were one the first to promote the benefits of using half stones in ceramic grills. It's as simple as:

when grilling, use a half stone to create two temperature zones,
when smoking BBQ, use two stones to create the full indirect set-up.

With grilling, the first zone is direct (no stone). The heat rises straight up from the fire and radiates over the grid above. This side is the active grilling side. The second zone is indirect. The half stone knocks down the rising heat and produces a non radiating, lower temperature over the grid above. This side is the slow cook side or a staging/holding area.

With smoking BBQ, it's business as usual. Set both half stone together to create the indirect (deflector) set-up. Using two Half Stones together has negligible impact on cooks requiring a full stone.
