I have read that you can use tiles or a cookie stone in the oven? I have a nice cookie stone that fits in there perfect. my question is where do I place it? obviously I would place it above the flames, but do I set it on top of the grid? or below the grid right ontop of the flame and put the grid on top of the stone and then cook on the grid? just wondering how others do it..thanks

actually, I think I just found my answer. I have looked up pictures online, and I see most put the cookie stone on top of flame and put the grid on top the stone.. and then put food on the grid. looks like I will do this, except when wife bakes cookies she will take the grid out and cook the cookies right on the stone itself....

When we had an oven we placed it on the metal at the bottom of the oven and just left the tiles there. It helped to disperse the heat and prevented burning on the bottom of cakes, cookies, rolls etc.

you put it underneath the flame wally???? the flame on my oven is in middle of oven

We use our Pizza stone on top of the grids and make sure you dont put it in after the oven is hot and dont take it out hot and put it in water. We use it for cookies and we buy good Pizza from 900 degree oven and freeze the leftover. We just pop frozen pizza in the oven on the cold stone, set it to 425 and wait.

Passin Thru - Good advice on "cold stone" . We put a refrigerator cold (but not frozen) pizza on a hot stone and the stone cracked.

quick question on using stone in oven to prevent burning

We never have used the stone. We use one of those cookie sheets with the two piece construct that has an air lock between them. Works fine the air lock prevents burning of anything in the first place. No problem in many, many years.

Quick question for the mentally challenged (me), do you use the cookie sheet as a 'buffer' by putting it on the level below the rack and then place your baking dish/pie dish/etc. on the rack? Or do you put it on the rack with the container your baking with on the cookie sheet?

Or am I over thinking this?????????????????

X2 Haven't found anything better yet, tried the stone and the pizza thingy, nothing compared to the air bake sheet for us...

I am thinking the problem with most RV ovens is that the burners are a "U" shape. So more gas is burned and more heat is generated at the bottom of the "U".

This, or course, creates the hot spot at one end.

It is the same setup in in many outdoor grills. That is why I look for either grills with a "H" burner, or multiple straight line burners parallel to each other.

So a stone should help any gas oven with a U shaped burner..
