Hello everyone, I decided to buy a pizza stone for our carri chef 2. It's the new type chef 2 and we got the pot stand, bbq plate, chef pan and dome lid. I decided to put the pizza stone directly onto the pot stand and preheated it on the lowest setting with the dome lid on. First pizza went on and all seemed well. Checked on it and base was burnt black and toppings didn't seem cooked enough. Second pizza went on with same result plus a cracked pizza stone. Luckily It wasn't a cadac stone and I hadn't lost out on a good few quid. So my question is, did I have the stone positioned correctly because I can't find any instructions on where to set the stone. Does it go on the pot stand or is this to close to the burner. Does it need to be set higher for example on the bbq grid which has a heat deflector on the underside. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated because I am reluctant to shell out for a cadac stone and have the same result. Cheers.

The Pizza stone should go on top of your normal bbq pressed grid set up ... i.e. the fourth layer up from the burner base.

I'm thinking I read that you heat the stone then turn off the burner and then cook the pizza ...but I could be wrong

If you kept the burner on maybe that's why it cracked

The Cadac website says not to pre heat the pizza stone :
Use of the pizza stone

Don't pre-heat the pizzastone.
Sprinkle some flour on the pizza stone to prevent burning and sticking.
Always use the BBQ dome and medium heat setting.

I have a Safari Chef but I would imagine the set up would be the same. It needs to go on top of the BBQ set up. Put the pizza stone on the cold BBQ, lid on, turn heat up high, sprinkle flour on the stone, pizza on, lid back on, turn heat down low. Some people even turn the heat off completely and still end up with a cooked pizza.

Genuine question, If the stone isn't pre-heated, what's the point of using it?

Just for info, we don't have a pizza stone but I have found that the flat metal plate will take a bought pizza and cook it perfectly with the lid on. The base is a little crispy but Mrs Oxter likes it like that.
Use minimum heat setting.

It is pre-heated...you put the cold stone on the cold BBQ, turn the heat up high with the lid on until the pizza stone is hot, then sprinkle with flour and turn the heat down low.

Does it? No idea then, the instructions that came in the box with mine say to use it as I've described.




Halfway down section 2 it says to preheat for 3-5 mins. It's for the mini pizza stone for the Safari chef but can't imagine the bigger one would be any different.

Your way makes far more sense. I thought the whole point of a stone is that it is hot.

I've got normal oven pizza stones and they have to go into a cold oven.

I too have the Carri Chef 2 and put my pizza stone directly above the burner, as directed in the literature, with a little flour on the stone and the flour burnt on my stone. I did get some cracking pizza's out of it but cracking pizza to burnt black disc is like 30 seconds. I will persevere again this year and will try the pizza rack and stone on top of the BBQ griddle. It feels like it needs a flame deflector like the older and smaller Cadac's had but I can't find one for the Carri Chef 2.

Morrisons have a BBQ pizza stone for £5 at the moment, if anyone fancies a cheap go first.

My mate swears by using polenta not flour on it. Not tried it yet.
