We exclusively designed the 13"x17" Oval Ceramic Stone to be used in conjunction with the Large Adjustable Rig. The Oval shape extends indirect protection under long meat cuts, specifically ribs and brisket. The Stone also provides great coverage for spatchcock chickens and pork butts. Some folks use the Oval Stone to bake French bread.
The Oval Stone sits on the Rig Crossbars or Slide Guide. You can slide the Oval Stone in/out very quickly and do not have to handle the grids(s) or food to move the Stone.
The 13"x17" Oval Stone can also be used with the Large Woo or PSWoo Rings. CGS' 3 Leg Spider is required when using the Oval Stone with the PSWoo Ring.
We do not recommend setting the 13"x17" Oval Stone directly on the fire ring or using it as a pizza stone in most round grills. The Stone works well as a pizza stone in the Primo XL 400 Grill.
The stone protects two babyback or St. Louis style racks lying flat; 14 lb. brisket packer, two 6-8 lb. pork butts, two spatchcock chickens or a mess of wings.
Stone specifications are: 12.75" across the flat side, 17" across the round side, 5/8" thickness and high refractory ceramics. Do not oil or use dish detergents on the stone. Do not clean with high heat. Best to set the stone while the grill comes to temperature to prevent thermal shock. Protect the topside of the Stone with foil or drip pan.

I've got the 13 X 17 oval stone, which I love. Unfortunately it has developed some cracks all the way through the stone and it has become fragile. I've not dropped it nor done any high heat cooks with it. I feel like it's just one of those things. I wrap it in foil and I continue to use it, but I know it's going to break all of the way through.
It's still a good product and it does work well. Still like it better than the BGE Platesetter.
Great heat diffuser. Thick enough to be sturdy, but not too heavy to be handy.
Really like it
