Im not sure what you mean by "base"..but if your talking about the bottom of the pizza, I get the stone as hot as the Summitt will go...once over 600 I put pizza on and close lid. I check after a few minutes and remove when the bottom crust is the way I like it. We prefer a thin crust..and slightly crispy. Hope this helps. I put the stone in the middle of the grill fyi...and that allows the "oven type" surround heat to finish the toppings. I dont use corn meal, and, I always assemble pizza complete before putting on stone. As you "peek" at the bottom, use your pizza spatula to loosen any cheese or other item that may cause sticking..normally, the ston e is so hot, it burns the materials completely.

I can't say exactly it buries the needle on supplied thermometer I would say in the neighbor hood of about 900 F. I will say it cooks a pizza in about 2.5 minutes and it is truly a wood fired pizza. Do not use a cheap stone it will crack. I used one I had used in my home oven for years and second run on Kettle it cracked. I purchased a quality stone 5/8" thick x 15" diam. from California pizza stones it is great and will last. All so keep in mind there is a learning curve with Kettle you have to stay on top of pizza as it bakes spinning and the like as is done in a wood fired brick oven and you will be pleasently suprised at the result.

No pizza stone and be careful when taking something out, as rack does tend to give way and hot food items fall forward. Hope this helps - and also saves you from a meal on the floor

It is not very heavy just regular. The bowls are smaller than they look like in the pictures.

I sent it back, so I don't have it in front of me, but I don't recall it being terribly heavy. It is a bit wide and squarer than it looks in the picture.

No, it's big enough. remember that the pizza dough is hard enough not to bend.

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!

The outer stone section is probably made of some sort of thin cement. It's heavy. The bowl is disappointingly shallow.,, maybe 14"

Not sure exactly, but it's not light - all the flatware is solid and heavy, except the butter knives which are hollow but still balanced. I'd say a couple pounds at least.

Sorry. I sent this back because it arrived broken. Ordered a granite one which is much heavier.

The stone itself is 16.5 in. It's solid, heavy, and of high quality. I love mine. I preheat it before use, especially when cooking frozen pizzas. That helps make the crust crunchier on the bottom.

Not very heavy. I am nearly 70 years old and suffer with weak hands and wrists, but never have any problems lifting or moving the pressure cooker even when filled to capacity.I can highly recommend it for use by a pensioner

My son took it when he moved out of the house but I would say probably 1/2 inch thick - and it's nice and heavy. It does a great job of making the crust crispy.

I don't really have an exact on the weight if someone else can help with that. My best guess is around 10lbs? I'm pretty terrible at guessing weights though. Anyhow, I have made frozen pizzas without thawing (the book doesn't recommend). Just cook it a little longer than the 5 minutes it says for thawed. Maybe 8 or 9. I keep the temp around 2. Just keep an eye on it. This product gets very hot. It's an excellent product.

It doesn't say. It's heavy - looks nice and feels nice, but does NOT conduct heat! Pizza crusts are always soft when cooked on it. After the last time I used it, I vowed to NOT use it again. So not it's useless to me. Do you want mine for free?

It's granite, just like it says...and it's heavy (I don't know specifically what kind of granite. I guess I could drag it into work and ask one of the geologists here that I work with, but like I said, it's heavy!).
