The BBQ Report

Turn your outdoor grill into a backyard pizza oven with this stone specially designed for the task. It uses the high heat of the grill to produce brick oven–style pizza with a crisp crust and bubbly-hot toppings. Made specifically for gas grills, the porous clay stone sits within a raised stainless-steel frame. A backsplash keeps toppings contained; the attached thermometer allows you to precisely track grill temperatures.

The description sounds good, but Williams-Sonoma wants $99 for this piece of hardware. I’m not sure it’s worth it. Seems to me a normal cooking stone would be just fine, and a whole lot cheaper. Heck, plenty of us get buy placing the pizza directly on the grill. And do you really need a dedicated thermometer for your pizza cooking?
