can the stone be placed in the oven resting on the carry rack

Question 2

What is the diameter with and without the handles?

Accepted Answer

13.4 in diameter for the pizza stone.  With the handles, it's 16.5 in. The stone is removable and sits ion the handle when on the grill.

Question 3

Do you need to use the BBQ System Grate with this or can you put it right on top of the regular cooking grill?

Accepted Answer

Yes you may place it on the grill, but, a little experimenting is necessary.  I like to get my fire way above the 500 Degree mark on the grill.  After a few burnt underside crusts, and at the opposite side of the spectrum - middle of the pizza not done enough to my liking (I am very liberal with my toppings), I arrived at the perfect arrangement.  Plcae a pile of coals on each side of the grill (indirect cooking method).  Place 6 Briquets or the uquivalent in Natural Lump Charcoal in 1 LAYER underneath the center of the pizza.  Light all coals with lighter fluid.  Once coals are ready close the top of the grill and wait for temperature to be scorching hot.  Place pizza stone in center and close for 1-2 minutes (longer it will be too hot and crust will be burnt)   Place pizza on stone and close lid.  In about 8 minutes it will be perfect.  (make sure you have good quality hot pads).  Remove pizza stone and place in Weber stainless steel carrier that comes with stone.  Pizza stays hot much longer on stone.  For pizza, either make your own, or start with a good quality frozen pizza such as East Side Café or Vito and Nicks.  I add mozzarella, and fresh toppings.  I always add a few dashes of extra virgin olive oil and small amount of sea salt.  Try Arugula and Prosciutto with some re constituted diced morel mushrooms (items placed under cheese).

Question 4

Can this be used with a propane weber bbq?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I took the stone off the metal carrier and placed it onto the grate of my round grill. Fits well and I haven't had any problems with it. If your grill is larger it will still fit fine. If your grill is bigger and you need more cooking space you can also try ceramic tiles that are meant for cooking and you can customize the size/shape.
