Char‑Griller AKORN 15" Cordierite Pizza Stone for Full‑Size Kamado — 15x15in, High‑Heat Even Baking

The Char‑Griller 15" cordierite pizza stone converts your AKORN Kamado into a reliable outdoor pizza oven, baking crisp crusts and evenly cooked pies without direct flame contact.

Designed to fit full‑size Char‑Griller AKORN Kamado models, this 15" stone uses high‑temperature cordierite to absorb moisture and spread heat uniformly across the cooking surface. Instead of relying on thin metal, the stone’s thermal mass and micro‑pores create a crisper bottom and steadier baking environment, whether you’re cooking fresh dough, frozen pizza, artisan bread, or even cookies.

How does this stone change grilling and baking performance?

Placing the stone on the AKORN grate stabilizes temperature and buffers direct flames, creating an oven‑like zone inside your kamado. The cordierite material tolerates very high temperatures and minimizes hot spots so toppings cook evenly while the crust firms up.

• Distributes heat across the whole 15" surface for consistent baking.
• Protects food from direct flame for more gentle, even cooking.
• Absorbs excess moisture to help create a crisp, non‑soggy crust.
• Works equally well for pizza, bread, flatbreads, and baked goods.

Will this stone fit my Char‑Griller AKORN model?

The stone is built to match the footprint of full‑size AKORN Kamado grills and fits models including 16620, 06620, 56720, 6520, 56520, and E6480. Its 15" square dimensions sit directly on the grill grates without modification.

• Dimensions: 15" L x 15" W x 1" H — designed for AKORN full‑size units.
• No trimming or adapters required for the listed models.
• Stable placement prevents shifting while cooking at high heat.

How do I use and maintain the pizza grilling stone?

Using the stone is straightforward: preheat the stone with the grill to the desired baking temperature, slide your prepared pizza or dough onto it, and monitor until done. Cordierite handles very high temperatures but should be heated gradually and allowed to cool before cleaning to avoid thermal shock.

• Preheat the stone with the grill for 10–20 minutes before baking.
• Slide pizza on with a peel or place directly using a spatula for small items.
• Let the stone cool fully before washing; wipe or brush—avoid soap if possible.
• Do not expose the stone to sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking.

What can I bake on a Char‑Griller pizza stone besides pizza?

Beyond traditional pizzas, the stone’s thermal properties make it suitable for breads, flatbreads, calzones, and even cookies that benefit from even bottom heat. Its ability to wick moisture produces a better crust on a variety of dough‑based recipes.

• Artisan and rustic breads that need good bottom oven spring.
• Frozen and fresh pizza for quick outdoor baking sessions.
• Small batches of cookies or biscuits where even heat matters.
• Flatbreads, naan, and quick pastry items that benefit from stone contact.

Who is this for? Home cooks and grilling enthusiasts who own a full‑size Char‑Griller AKORN Kamado and want to expand its capabilities beyond direct grilling will appreciate this pizza stone. It’s ideal for anyone seeking better crusts, steadier bake temperatures, and a simple way to turn a charcoal kamado into a versatile outdoor baking surface without complex adapters or permanent modifications.
