Use one half for two-zone cooking or combine a pair for full indirect barbeque. The smaller pieces are also easier to handle, remove and store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo the deflectors require a rack?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ceramic pieces require a compatible Woo, Spider or dedicated rack system to hold them securely at the proper position inside the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow should I arrange the stone for pizza?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the full-round pizza stone above a separate lower heat deflector with ceramic spacers creating an air gap between them. The lower deflector blocks concentrated direct heat, while the elevated stone provides the baking surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the ceramic darken with use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Ceramic deflectors and pizza stones naturally darken as they are exposed to smoke and cooking residue. This change is normal and does not affect cooking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I clean the ceramic with a high-heat burn?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not recommend aggressive high-heat cleaning burns. Scrape away loose debris and gently burn off residue at moderate temperatures.
