Anyone know anything about these?
I have a BBQ with a lid on it that I want to use.
Can you really use a tile?

I use a floor tile in the oven at 240°C. I've been using the same tile for a couple of years now and would use it nearly every week. It hasn't broke yet. Put the tile in the oven for about 20 minutes to heat it up nice and hot before putting the pizza on it.

Not sure about the barbeque, will enough heat be coming from the top down onto the pizza?
I got mine in newry but I have seen them in Dunnes or somewhere in the past! I'll let you know if I find anything!
Any dry stone should do the trick, make sure it's not wet or it will split/explode!
You can get pizza stones in the kitchen section of Debenhams.
I've also used my barbecue with my stone in the past, it was moderately successful.
You'll also need a good oven thermometer too though.
arnotts have them on sale at the minute. €15ish.
The stones are alright. The metal ones seem to work better in my oven.
I also use a terracotta floor tile which I got in B+Q for €6... Be sure to get an unglazed tile as glaze may contain lead
I also use terracotta floor tile. I have used it in BBQ but the lid needs to be closed for a food while to get the temp up. Get the pizza in quick and close lid again.
I use a ceramic floor tile - no problems in the oven.
Not thought to try on the BBQ though, must try it along with some nice wood smoke!
The perforated pizza pans yield decent results, but they also have to be pre-heated for the best results.
One of these days, I'm going to have a wood-fired pizza oven in the garden. 8)
has anyone seen the cob ovens? cob is the stuff people build passive houses from using mud and straw. you build em and have a connecting bench which is heated by the oven then. could be a cool project someday (they're outdoors too o course)
