I had a round pizza stone that I used before. I accidentally left it in the oven when I was going to bake some bread. Because of this accident, I discovered that putting my bread pans on a pizza stone caused the bread to slide out perfectly, and brown perfectly. Who knew? I bought this so that I could use every square inch in my oven. This stone helps make even baking and so I leave it in all the time now. No off-putting smells, and I have a very sensitive nose. Very glad to have bought this.

My old pizza stone cracked into about 5 pieces one day (I don't remember the brand, but we had had it for about 10 years), so I needed another one. This has done brilliantly. I keep it in the oven all the time - it helps the temperature from fluctuating so much, and makes great pizza.

I love my pizza stone. It took me a while to decide myself, but I do not regret it.
I have made pizza in the oven with it, I have made various breads on it and it really makes a difference!

I also tried it on the grill, per the paper that came with it and WOW it completely changes my love for pizza!

Could not be more disappointed.
I had such high hopes after reading all the positive reviews. We followed the instructions exactly and heated our stone before we used it- the smell was unpleasant but tolerable (like others said it would be)
Once we began using the stone things went down hill pretty quickly for us. Needless to say our pizza was a complete disaster. The entire pizza stuck to the bottom of the stone so when we went to scrape it off it ripped. We then had cheese and sauce spilling out all over the stone which I tried to quickly scrape up, but the damage was done. A black crusty mess began to form on our stone which only made things worse.
I hoped it was just a fluke and possibly what happens until the stone is "seasoned" so I made another pizza and tried again. This time it was even worse and the smell from the stone and the burning cheese, crust and sauce was horrendous. So much so we had to leave our house for a few minutes for the smell to air out. I even made another pizza after that hoping it was just me, but it was not.
We now have a permanently black charred pizza stone (which is unusable) due to the horrible smoke that now billows off of it. I even tried scraping the stone once it cooled down, but it is forever ruined. I will be calling the company after the weekend and asking for a full refund.

I love my pizza stone. We use this stone to cook pizza on the BBQ. Keeping the BBQ temp around 600 degrees for 20-30 minutes and it's ready to go. Pizzas come out completely cooked; crust is completely brown on the bottom. Suggestion: use some Parchment Paper to put the pizza on first so it's easy to get off of the stone. Definitely recommend this pizza stone
