Fredstone is Primo's own named line of baking stones, and this is the X-Large member of it: an oval, not a circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShape 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/oval-x-large-charcoal-grill\"\u003ePrimo Oval X-Large ceramic charcoal grill\u003c\/a\u003e.
