Unicook 17 Inch Smoking Stone for Akorn Kamado Grill – Cordierite Heat Diffuser, Pizza Stone, Thermal Shock Resistant (Compare to Char-Griller 6201)

Transform your Char-Griller Akorn Kamado grill into a versatile outdoor oven with the Unicook 17 Inch Smoking Stone. This cordierite heat diffuser sits between the grate and food, directing heat into a gentler, more even flow. By turning direct heat into indirect cooking, you can minimize scorching, promote even browning, and help maintain moisture for a range of dishes. The stone’s strength and thermal resilience come from cordierite, a material trusted for heat retention and stability when temperatures shift. While designed for Akorn Kamado models, it also complements larger grills that benefit from a stable, radiant cooking surface.

Real-world cooking ideas

Imagine weekend pizza nights with a crisp, evenly browned crust and perfectly melted toppings. The diffusion helps heat circulate, reducing hot spots and supporting steady browning across the surface. For barbecue enthusiasts, slow-smoked ribs, brisket, or pork shoulder can stay moist and tender without direct flame exposure. The stone also doubles as a baking surface for bread and cookies, turning your Kamado into a multitask oven outdoors. Whether you are aiming for bakery-style crusts or fall-off-the-bone textures, the stone encourages consistent results by moderating heat flow.

Usage tips

• Preheat the grill with the stone in place to reach your target temperature
• Avoid using soap or detergent; do not season the stone
