does this tool pick up the stones and release them where you want to place them? Do you have to put the stone in place first, then heat?

No, it's not intended for that, because you heat it up to temp FIRST WITH THE CORRECT SIZE TIP, place the hotfix item where you want it attached, then press this over it using the correct size tip that you've already heated and basically melt the underside glue on. Having said that,when it's fully up to temp, you can place it on the hotfix bead and sometimes it will grab on enough for you to place somewher, but usually because of just excess edge glue, but it's also just as likely to fall off the tool and stick somewhere you don't want it.... And they are VERY hard to remove (which is good for its purpose), without damage. If the problem is an awkward surface you're trying to use it on, tell us what the application is and someone may have tips. Best of luck, but there's usually a resourceful person with an answer if they know what you need help with.

Yes, but there are better options. Sharpening stones are usually rectangular. You place the stone on a workbench or similar surface, and glide the knife over it. That's a bit harder to do with a tool that has a 36" handle, so this sharpener was designed to be held in the hand & glided across the axe blade that you are holding in your other hand.

Mine became looser and looser everytime it popped off. It got to the point where I don't even bother putting it back on anymore. Wasn't an issue for me since I didn't really care for the core stones anyway. I'm sure if you were set on a certain stone you could use a dab of glue to hold it on or something.

Yes, you put the stone on the grill and wait for it to get up to the correct temps. You use wood with the charcoal so there will be flames.

no, unfortunately it doesn't. But then I only use one rod for all the stones. that way they are all on the same level as that one rod.

I'm assuming you pulled it out of the oven while it was still hot? I learned this lesson the hard way also. My first pizza stone was not an Old Stone product. Needs to cool down with the oven before removal. If it breaks, about the only thing to do is throw it away and buy a new one. Heat the stone up with the oven and let it cool down to ambient temp as the oven cools.

You put the stone in after the coals are hot, that way it is brought up to temperature evenly or it could fracture.

Hey Kara- I own two of these stones because they work great! They are quite heavy though and will stay hot for awhile after cooking. Cutting the pizza on the stone would be fine for the stone (it's quite sturdy), however, this would be hard to do because it's quite hot/heavy. After making my pizzas I use a pizza peel (relatively cheap) and pull the pizza out of the oven. I then cut the pizza on the peel. It would be tough to pull the whole stone out of the oven although it could be done. Hope that helps!

It might vacuum and remove the sand too. I have small stones and they rise up(not get sucked out) sometimes when I vacuum.

The box our stone came in has minimal directions on the back of the box. Basically, lightly oil and preheat the stone on the grill - when it is hot place your food (veggies, salmon, pizza anything!) on the preheated stone, close grill cover and cook. We love our stone and use it frequently.

You clip it on the back edge of the blade. After it has been clipped on, it gives you a surface to rest on the stone, helping you hold a consistent angle while sharpening.

Yes, I use these stones after the white then use a strop. I am not sure if they recommend using a the corner of this one like they do the brown and white before rotating it to the flat side, but I go straight to the flat side and sharpen about 25-30 times each side of the blade and then to the strop. If it removes arm or leg hair with ease you are done. Hope this helps

The blade is welded to the rod. I used it to auger holes through 5" of road base that included stones. Worked like a charm. However, with that type of soil and stone it did require a drill with a side grip, so it did not twist your wrist when it caught a stone.

Well, some of them seem to be glued together and others you can unscrew the top or bottom or both ends. However, once you unscrew whichever end, they are sealed a certain way so you would have to manually manipulate them in order to get the stones out of either end. They look as if they would break easily if you wanted to try to do that.

Worth it if You willing to learn to use it. For example the suction cups in the feet of the tool don't hold the tool well, so You will have to find a way to stabilize it. I have learned to use it without worrying about its move. Also the stones are not of high quality so treat them with care; don't put pressure on them or they will brake. Other than that it is a very worthy tool in my opinion.

put the stone in a cold oven, why are you preheating to 500 because of your recipe? No need to preheat to anything other than the degrees your recipe is calling for. Just remember to put the stone in a cold oven. Or it will break.

I have never pre-heated my stone as I roll out dough and assemble pizza on the stone. So far no problems with cracking.
