A refractory stone made for the Classic Joe: it soaks up the kamado's heat and gives it back through the base of the dough, the direct transfer that browns the bottom of a good pizza.
The kamado already reaches pizza temperatures easily; what it lacked was a surface that bakes the base like the floor of a wood oven. This refractory ceramic stone does exactly that: it stores heat and releases it on contact, so the bottom crisps at the same moment the kamado's dome browns the rim above.
It fits the Classic Joe's system, usually over a deflector that shields it from the direct flame. That indirect-heat setup is the key: the stone bakes by conduction, does not scorch, and holds a steady temperature bake after bake. For the kamado owner who has not yet tried pizza, it is the piece that opens that door.
Like all refractory stone, it is not washed with soap nor subjected to sudden temperature swings. You heat it gradually with the kamado, brush it dry once cool, and accept that dark marks are a sign of use, not dirt.
The simplest way to make pizza in a Classic Joe: indirect heat, a crisp base and a rim browned by the dome. Affordable and effective.

FAQ
Do I need a deflector to use it?
Yes, place it over the indirect-heat zone, usually above the deflector, so it bakes by conduction rather than facing the direct flame.
What temperature do I bake pizza at?
The kamado should stabilise high, in the pizza range; the stone takes time to load heat, so preheat it with the kamado before baking.
How do I clean it?
Never with soap or pressurised water. Let it cool, brush it dry, and accept the dark marks as a patina of use.
Can it crack?
Yes, under thermal shock. Heat it gradually with the kamado and avoid placing frozen dough or cold water on it while hot.
Is it good for bread as well as pizza?
Yes. The same hot base that bakes pizza gives excellent results with breads and focaccias baked in the kamado.
