Additional Notes and Tips for Installing the Pizza Stone in
the Top of the Oven:
When installing the
Top
Pizza Stone, here's some additional tips we've come up with to make it a
little easier.
1)
WAIT to install the top pizza stone until after you've cleaned the oven chamber with
some
citrus cleaner and a rag. You
should
also wait until the initial burn has been done
and then
you
will
re-install the bricks on the bottom of the oven.
2)
To properly operate the jack (pictured below) you will need to have the 6 base bricks
back in
place AND one of the 2 cooking stones on top of the bricks at the bottom of the
oven. (The second
cooking stone (both in White boxes) is the one you will use up on the
top of the oven) Place a
piece of cardbo
a
rd (like a side of the white box the stones were
in) on top of the bottom cooking
stone so the plastic cap on the jack doesn't leave a mark
on the stone's cooking surface.
3)
On one side, loosely install the bracket with 3 screws that hold the bracket in place.
That way
you will be able to slip the stone up above the first bracket with all the screws
already started. A
phillips head #2 screwdriver works well for this. One with a
magnetic
screw
holding head, even
better.
(See Attached picture of a driver style screwdriver w/Magnetic
head to hold the screw in
place
)
.
4)
Li
f
t the stone and hold it in place with the pipe jack against the top of the
oven.
5)
Tighten all 3 screws on the first bracket then install the second bracket, with the jack
still in
place
. Then remove the jack
.

This type of screwdriver has a magnetic feature on the end that holds the screw for you and
that helps guide it into the hole. In the picture the screw used in installation is being held on
the end of the bit by the magnet.
