About this project
Perfect pizza and bread on your grill every time!
Baking pizza and bread on your outdoor grill using the Mighty Pizza Stone (MPS) is fast, fun, easy and most importantly, DELICIOUS! Using an outdoor grill is a far superior cooking method than an indoor oven. It is faster, hotter (for a perfect crust), requires no time in between pizzas (one pie after another), and doesn’t heat up your home.
On outdoor grills, the heat source is located below the pizza stone, which means a traditional pizza stone becomes much hotter than the air above it and the bottom of the pizza overcooks or even gets burnt.
The Mighty Pizza Stone solves this problem instantly. Its adjustable STAINLESS STEEL heat diffuser lets you manage the bottom heat from your gas, charcoal or wood-burning grill so that you get your baking right every time.
Back this Kickstarter project and enjoy baking outdoor pizzas with crispy crusts and perfectly cooked toppings! Pledge for your Mighty Pizza Stone today and delight family and friends as you become a master of outdoor baking.
How does the Mighty Pizza Stone work?
Traditional pizza stones take your grill’s heat and transmit a lot of heat to your pizza bottom, while much less heat reaches your pizza top and toppings. The result is usually a burnt or overcooked crust and undercooked toppings. Not good!
The Mighty Pizza Stone solves this problem thanks to its adjustable heat diffuser made of quality stainless steel.
The heat diffuser takes heat from your grill and retransmits it to the cordierite pizza stone that is in contact with your pizza, bread or other dish you are baking.
With the Mighty Pizza Stone, you can control the heat that reaches the bottom of your pizza separately from the overall heat of your grill.
The stainless steel pan attached to the Mighty Pizza Stone absorbs heat from your grill's heat source and transmits it evenly to the pizza stone itself. The gap between the diffuser and the stone acts as an insulation. Simply increase the gap between the diffuser and the pizza stone to lower the temperature of the stone. Decrease the gap to make the pizza stone hotter. Do NOT attempt to adjust while stone is HOT.
It will take few times before you find the sweet spot for your grill. Start with the lowest setting and increase the gap by three full turns each bake when the stone is cool to touch.
Balancing the top and bottom temperatures in this way means the top and bottom of your food will bake at the same rate, giving you excellent results every time on any outdoor grill.
Let’s talk parts
The Mighty Pizza Stone is made up of five basic parts, and is designed with functionality in mind.
1) 14.39” Round Pizza Stone: Made of cordierite, which is fired at a higher temperature than ceramic, this piece can withstand sudden changes in temperature.
2) 15” Round Heat Diffuser Pan: Designed with two ears for an easy-to-carry piece, the diffuser pan is constructed of durable 410 Stainless Steel, a material known for its corrosion-resistant properties. Three holes in the center form a triangle for the T-nuts (Item 3).
3) Three (3) T-Nuts / Locking Nuts: These fix to the diffuser pan through its three holes.
4) Three (3) Adjustable Thumb Screws: The thumb screws act as your controls for increasing or decreasing the gap between the pizza stone and the heat diffuser, which also controls the heat of the pizza stone. The screws enter from the inside of the diffuser, so the heads provide a resting place for the pizza stone and keep it from sitting directly on the diffuser/T-nuts. This is where the magic happens.
5. Pizza Stone Wire Frame: Easily lift the pizza stone from the diffuser with the help of the wire frame’s useful handles. This makes it easy to access/adjust the thumb screws, and safely transport the heated stone to a safe location.

The man behind the Mighty Pizza Stone
My name is Bert Touma and I am no stranger to pizza making or Kickstarter. I have been making pizza at home for my family and friends for many years, and have made it my mission to make baking pizza at home easy and consistent. I invented and took the Mighty Pizza Oven to market; it’s a device that converts your standard gas grill into a pizza-baking machine. This amazing machine and the subsequent improved Mighty Pizza Oven 2 were successfully funded through Kickstarter.
Now I am back, taking my passion for homemade pizza to the next level and ready to revolutionize how pizza is made at home with the Mighty Pizza Stone. The success of this relies on fellow pizza lovers, those who love to entertain at home, and those who can see the potential market for a simple device that can be made available anywhere in the world.
Please tell your friends and spread the word. Pledge away, order your Mighty Pizza stone and join the outdoor pizza party!

Risks and challenges
Along the years of research and design of the Mighty Pizza Oven (MPO), we have overcome many hurdles and invested thousands of dollars to get where we are today.
Having said that, we understand that there will be still more challenges down the road as we go about manufacturing and shipping this product to our backers, but nothing that we can’t handle and resolve.
The original MPO and MPO2 have been a great success and we expect that the Mighty Pizza Stone will be even more popular because it offers excellent performance at a very low cost.
