This official HALO cordierite pizza stone is a direct replacement designed specifically for the HALO Versa 16 Pizza Oven, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance.
Crafted from a specific blend of natural magnesia, silica, and alumina materials (“cordierite”) that has been kiln fired to create a durable, porous ceramic. The stone delivers excellent heat retention and even heat distribution while resisting thermal shock. It also naturally wicks moisture during cooking to promote consistent browning and crisp crusts without soggy centers, making it ideal for pizzas, breads, and pastries.
With a 16-inch diameter, the HALO pizza stone provides ample space for large pizzas and creative topping combinations.
Cleanup couldn’t be easier. Let the stone cool then scrape away residue and it’s ready for your next cook.
Using the HALO Cordierite Pizza Stone with an Indoor Oven or Barbecue
Although it is designed for use with the HALO Versa 16 Pizza Oven, the stone can also be used effectively with any indoor oven or outdoor barbecue that can accommodate its 16-inch diameter. Here’s how:
Step One: Preheat the Stone
- Indoor Oven - Place the pizza stone on the center rack. Preheat for 30 minutes at an internal oven temperature of 500°F (260°C).
- Barbecue Grill - Place the pizza stone on the grill grates. Preheat for 30 minutes with the bbq lid closed at 500°F (260°C). Once preheated, reduce the heat directly under the stone to 400–450°F to prevent overheating while cooking.
Step Two: Cook Your Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone using a pizza peel. Cook until the crust is crisp and the toppings are fully cooked.
The stone can also be used to cook bread, cookies, etc., with fantastic crispy results!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Always remove pizzas from the hot stone with a pizza peel. Do not attempt to remove the stone itself from the oven or grill until it has safely cooled.
