About the Relaxdays Round Cordierite Stone
The Relaxdays round cordierite stone is an inexpensive first stone for the oven or barbecue, the low-risk way to find out how much a hot surface changes a home pizza. Cordierite handles the heat and thermal shock of an oven or grill without cracking easily.
It is a budget entry rather than a performance piece: fine for learning what a preheated stone does for the base, and cheap enough that it is an easy first buy. If you get hooked, a steel or a thicker stone is the upgrade path.

Common questions
Is a cheap pizza stone worth buying?
As a first stone, yes. An inexpensive cordierite stone shows you how much a preheated hot surface improves a home pizza's base, for very little money and low risk. If you cook pizza often, you may later upgrade to a thicker stone or a steel, but a budget stone is a fine, honest starting point.
Can I use this stone on a barbecue?
Yes. Cordierite handles grill heat well, and a round stone suits a kettle grill. Put it on the grate, run the grill hot with the lid closed for 30 to 45 minutes to heat the stone through, and the closed lid gives top heat as well as a crisp base.
