Product Description

14" Ceramic Pizza Stone for Large Big Green EGG & 18"+ Kamados

The Big Green EGG 14" Pizza Stone is a popular choice for the Large Big Green EGG, providing a full-round ceramic baking surface for pizza, bread and other baked foods.

The 14" diameter also works well in many kamado grills with approximately 18" or larger cooking grids, leaving room around the stone for heat and airflow to circulate through the grill.

Even Heat for Pizza & Baking

The ceramic absorbs, retains and distributes heat across the baking surface, helping cook pizza crust and baked foods evenly.

Use the stone for pizza, bread, focaccia, roasted vegetables and other foods that benefit from a heated ceramic baking surface.

Recommended Uses:

The 14" pizza stone is especially well suited to the Large Big Green EGG and also works in many kamados with approximately 18" or larger cooking grids, including:

  • Large Big Green EGG: Popular pizza and baking stone size with good perimeter airflow
  • XL & 2XL Big Green EGG: Compact pizza and baking surface with additional room around the stone
  • Kamado Joe: Classic Joe and Big Joe models
  • Primo: Large Oval and XL Oval
  • Weber: Summit Kamado
  • Pit Boss: 24" kamado grills
  • Vision Grills: Large kamado models
  • Louisiana Grills: 24" kamado grills

General Fitment: A good choice for many kamados with an 18" or larger cooking grid, provided the stone can be securely supported while maintaining adequate airflow around the perimeter and clearance inside the dome.

Looking for a little more baking surface? Our preferred CGS option for many 18" and larger kamados is the CGS 15" Full-Round Ceramic Pizza Stone, which provides a slightly larger cooking surface while still leaving room for airflow in compatible setups.

Using Your Pizza Stone

For best results, use the pizza stone as the upper baking surface with a separate heat barrier positioned below it. An air gap between the lower deflector and pizza stone helps reduce concentrated heat on the bottom of the stone.

When your setup allows, use an expander or raised rack to lift the deflector and pizza stone higher into the dome. Moving the pizza setup farther from the gasket can help reduce exposure to concentrated heat.

Allow the stone to preheat with the grill. Use cornmeal or parchment paper between the dough and stone to help prevent sticking.

Pizza Setup & Air Gap

Position the pizza stone above a separate ceramic heat deflector with an air gap between the two surfaces.

The lower ceramic blocks concentrated direct heat from the charcoal while the elevated pizza stone provides the baking surface. This separation helps create more even stone temperatures during a pizza cook.

Maintain adequate airflow around the outside edge of the stone and make sure the stone clears the thermometer stem when positioned high in the dome.

Using Ceramic Spacers

CGS Ceramic Spacers can be placed between the lower heat deflector and pizza stone to create the air gap needed for a two-layer pizza setup.

The air gap provides thermal separation between the two ceramic surfaces and helps reduce concentrated bottom heat reaching the pizza stone.

Spacers can also provide additional lift when the rack configuration allows, helping position the pizza stone higher in the dome.

Care & Maintenance
  • Do not use soap, detergents or chemical cleaners on the porous ceramic.
  • Do not clean the pizza stone in a dishwasher or submerge it in water.
  • Do not oil the stone.
  • Allow the stone to heat and cool gradually whenever possible.
  • Scrape away food debris after the stone has cooled.
  • Avoid aggressive high-heat cleaning burns.
  • Expect the ceramic surface to darken with normal use.
Frequently Asked Questions

Which grills can use the 14" pizza stone?

The 14" pizza stone works well in many kamados with approximately 18" or larger cooking grids, including Large, XL and 2XL Big Green EGG, Kamado Joe Classic and Big Joe, Primo Large and XL Oval, Weber Summit Kamado, Pit Boss 24, Large Vision and Louisiana Grills 24 models.

Always verify support position, perimeter airflow and dome clearance for your specific setup.

Is the 14" stone a good choice for the Large Big Green EGG?

Yes. The 14" stone is a popular pizza and baking size for the Large Big Green EGG because it provides a useful baking surface while still leaving room around the perimeter for airflow.

Should I place the pizza stone directly over the charcoal?

For pizza, we recommend using a separate heat deflector below the pizza stone with an air gap between the two ceramic surfaces. This helps protect the baking stone from concentrated direct heat and promotes more even heating.

Why raise the pizza stone higher in the dome?

Raising the pizza stone moves the baking surface farther from the charcoal and closer to the heat circulating through the dome. It also moves the pizza setup farther from the gasket when the grill and rack system provide enough clearance.

Can I use soap to clean the pizza stone?

No. Ceramic is porous and can absorb soap and moisture. Allow the stone to cool and scrape away food residue as needed.

Will the pizza stone darken with use?

Yes. Ceramic pizza stones naturally darken as they are exposed to heat, smoke and cooking residue. This is normal and does not affect cooking performance.
