Troubleshooting
Pizza sticks to the stone.
Ensure the stone is adequately preheated and lightly dust your pizza dough or peel with flour or cornmeal before placing the pizza on it. Using a perforated peel also helps prevent sticking and excess moisture.
Uneven cooking on the pizza.
Make sure the grill is preheated to a consistent temperature. Rotate the pizza halfway through cooking if necessary, or ensure the grill lid is fully closed during cooking to trap heat.
Stone develops small cracks.
Minor surface cracks (hairline) can be normal with extreme temperature changes. Avoid sudden thermal shock (e.g., placing a cold stone in a very hot grill, or a hot stone on a cold surface). If cracks are significant and affect stability, consider replacement.
Food residue is difficult to remove.
After cooling, use a plastic scraper or a stiff brush to remove loose debris. For stubborn spots, a specialized pizza stone cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.
