The Primo Oval Fredstone Baking Stone in 23 by 16 inches is the oval stone listed for the Primo Oval X-Large. Fredstone is Primo's own named line of baking stones, and this is the X-Large member of it: an oval, not a circle.
A baking stone changes what the fire does to the underside of your food. Rather than hot air and radiant heat reaching dough directly, the stone soaks up energy while the grill comes up to temperature and then hands it back as steady conducted heat through one continuous surface. That is what sets a pizza base while the top is still cooking, and it is the same reason bread bakers keep one in the kitchen oven. It also smooths out the swings a live charcoal fire makes as coals shift and settle.
Shape matters more here than on most kamados. Primo's Oval models use an oval firebox rather than a round one, which gives a longer cooking bed and makes two-zone cooking straightforward, with coals banked at one end and indirect heat at the other. An oval stone lies along that bed instead of leaving the ends of it unused.
Built for the Primo Oval X-Large ceramic charcoal grill. Most cooks run a stone above Primo heat deflector plates for the Oval X-Large, and it pairs naturally with the Primo pizza oven for the Oval X-Large when pizza is the main event. Cooking on an Oval Large instead? The 18 by 16 inch Oval Fredstone for the Oval Large is the one to order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This is the 23 by 16 inch Oval Fredstone, listed for the Oval X-Large. Primo sizes its stones to the grill they sit in, so the 18 by 16 inch oval is the one for an Oval Large, and the round Fredstones are listed for the Round. Match the size word on the stone to the size word on your grill.
A grate lets heat pass straight through the gaps and marks food in lines. A stone gives you a continuous hot surface, so the base of a pizza or a loaf cooks by contact with something already saturated with heat. It also buffers the temperature swings that come with burning charcoal.
They do different jobs. Deflector plates are the barrier that turns a direct fire into indirect heat, so nothing sits cooking straight over flame. The stone is the surface you bake on. The usual baking arrangement is the deflector low and the stone above it, with room for air to move between the two.
Bread, focaccia, flatbread, calzones, biscuits and cookies all work. Anything that wants firm bottom heat and a dry surface suits a stone. The difference from a kitchen oven is the fuel: with lump charcoal underneath, a faint smoke character finds its way into the crust.
Fredstone is Primo's named stone line, shaped and sized to one grill each, oval for the Ovals and round for the Round. The ceramic baking stones are round, come in glazed and natural finish at two diameters, and each one covers several grill sizes. Choose on shape, size and fit.
