If that's the case it's the first one I've seen with a crack and I seriously abused my Akorn Smoking Stone when I had my Akorn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TKOBBQ 5,855 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Now that you mention it, it does look like a crack. If that's the case it's the first one I've seen with a crack and I seriously abused my Akorn Smoking Stone when I had my Akorn. Not a first for me, I thought I posted pitures of mine several years ago. It broke into three pieces. ckreef 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not very deep so I wonder how much life the stone has in it. It's been used for at least one cook since I posted the pic. Good eye Whotony! Thanks.

Donald 0 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Soak the stone in warm water for about 30 minutes get the grill up to about 600-650 degrees place the stone back in the grill let cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours and the stone will be clean and so will the grate.note that the grill needs to be closed and vents set to hold these temperatures.

I wasn't trying to clean the stone exactly but as I removed the stone the black gunk just brushed off easily as black powder.

No, I just cranked the heat in the Akorn up to about 700 F. Incidentally, the stone is still going strong several years after it predicted demise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
