Thank You

Hi, my name is Bert Touma, I am the inventor of the Mighty Pizza
Stone. I would like to thank you personally for purchasing the Mighty
Pizza Stone. I know you have the option to choose from lots of
products for making pizza out there, but I assure you that you have
made the right and best choice.

The Mighty Pizza Stone is the simplest, most versatile pizza making
tool you will ever find. You can use it indoors in your home oven or
outdoors on your grill.

The Mighty Pizza Stone is perfect for any beginner pizza maker,
because it is harder to burn your pizza with it.

I have strived over the years to improve and simplify my pizza
making experience by experimenting with making pizza in ways no
one else can ever imagine or duplicate. The Mighty Pizza Stone is
the result of all this experimentation.

With the Mighty Pizza Stone you can almost immediately make
amazing pizza to share and enjoy with friends and family, regardless
of your pizza making experience.

To help you even further with your pizza experience, I created an online pizza dough recipe calculator and a list
of must-have accessories to help with making the dough and cooking your pizza.

I highly recommends reading this guide entirely, especially the safety instruction section, before you start using
the Mighty Pizza Stone.

1. The MPS is capable of reaching extremely hot temperatures. Please exercise extreme caution
when using and handling it.

2. Do not touch any part of the Mighty Pizza Stone until it has cooled completely.

3. Do not use water or other solvents to aid in cooling the Mighty Pizza Stone after use.

4. Use high heat-resistant BBQ mitts when touching the controls of your grill, adjusting the Mighty

the MPS.

5. Use a pizza peel or other long-handled utensil to load and retrieve your pizza.

6. The Mighty Pizza Stone weighs about 10 pounds, so make sure to use proper lifting techniques
when moving it to and from the grill.

7. The pizza stone used with Mighty Pizza Stone is durable, but may break or chip if dropped. Handle
it carefully.

8. The Mighty Pizza Stone (MPS) is intended to be used on a on a properly maintained grill and it
poses certain safety risks, both apparent and implied, as does any other pizza stone.

1.2 General Home Oven Safety Instructions

1. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, use and cleaning of your
oven, and don’t hesitate to contact them should you have a question about something specific
that isn’t covered in your user manual.

2. Never leave cooking unattended.

3. Keep it clean. Food particles and grease residue can ignite and cause a fire.

4. Create a “Kid-Free Zone” that children are aware they are not allowed to enter.

5. Check for body safety.

6. Tie back long hair.

7. Roll up long sleeves.

8. Remove loose jewelry.

9. Be sure footwear is non-slip.

10. Before each use, do an oven safety check.

11. Be sure you do not smell gas leaking from a gas oven. If you do, open a window and leave the
room.

12. Make sure there is nothing in the oven. An oven should never be used for storage.

13. Position your oven racks before pre-heating to prevent scalding.

14. Close the oven door immediately after removing or testing food.

15. Keep a fire extinguisher, baking soda and metal lids nearby to put out fires quickly.

1.3 General Grill Safety Instructions

While operating the Mighty Pizza Stone on your grill, please follow the following grill safety

instructions, plus any other safety instructions stated by your grill manufacturer:

1 | 14

1. Position the grill well away from sidings, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging
branches.

2. Place the grill at a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic.

3. Keep children and pets away from the grill area: declare a three-foot “safe zone” around the grill.

4. Put out several long-handled grilling tools to give the chef plenty of clearance from heat and
flames while operating the Mighty Pizza Stone. Use only appropriate bake-ware or utensils while
baking. Do not use plastic, silicone or glass.

5. Periodically remove grease or fat buildup in the trays below the grill so it can’t be ignited by a hot
grill.

6. High-risk times for gas grills are when you first use one that has been left idle, or just after you
refill and reattach the grill’s gas container. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
connecting or disconnecting LP gas containers.

7. Check the tubes that lead into the burner to make sure they aren’t blocked by bugs or grease.
Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear blockage and push it through to the main part of the burner.

8. Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes and leaks. Make sure there are no sharp bends
in the hoses or tubing.

9. Move gas hoses as far as possible away from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease. If you can’t
move the hoses, install a heat shield to protect them.

10. Replace scratched or nicked connectors, which can eventually leak gas.

11. Never use a grill indoors. Use the grill at least 10 feet away from your house or any building. Do
not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or under a surface that can catch fire.

12. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions that accompany the grill.

13. Be careful when storing LP gas containers. Keep them upright. Never store a spare gas container
under or near the grill, or indoors. Never store or use flammable liquids, like gasoline, near the
grill.

14. Transport the LP gas container in a secure, upright position. Never keep a filled container in a hot
car, or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve
and allow gas to escape.

15. Check the gas cylinder hose and tank valve for leaks before using it for the first time each year.
A light soap and water solution applied to the hose and valve will quickly reveal escaping propane
by releasing bubbles. If you determine your grill has a gas leak, by smell or by using the soapy
bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off the gas tank and grill. If the leak stops, get the grill
serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.

16. If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department.
Don’t try to move the grill.

17. If you have a charcoal grill, remember that this type of fuel produces carbon monoxide (CO) when
it is burned. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can accumulate to toxic levels in closed
environments. Never burn charcoal inside of homes, vehicles, tents, or campers. Since charcoal
produces CO fumes until the charcoal is completely extinguished, do not store the grill indoors
with freshly used coals.

18. Do not close the hood / lid on flaming charcoal or wood chunks. If closed and re-opened, the
flames could leap out and burn.

19. Do not move a grill while it is in use or hot.

20. Allow the grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning

21. Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirttails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a grill
while it is in use or hot.

22. Do not lean your body over the charcoal grill when lighting it, while it is hot, or is in use.

23. Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have an ABC fire
extinguisher nearby.

2 | 14

24. Always have an ABC fire extinguisher, baking soda, a bucket of sand, or a garden hose ready in
case of an uncontrolled fire.

2 2 General Asked Questions

2.1 What is the Mighty Pizza Stone?

The Mighty Pizza Stone is a high quality pizza stone enclosed in a stainless steel pan that offers
many advantages over traditional pizza stones by allowing pizza makers to balance pizza top and
bottom cooking rates, regardless of the heat intensity generated by their grill or oven, allowing them
to cook perfect pizza every time. No more burnt pizza bottom or uncooked toping, or vice versa.

The Mighty Pizza Stone is made up of few basic parts, and is designed with functionality in mind.

Item 1- 14.39” Round Pizza Stone: Made of cordierite, which is fired at a higher temperature than

ceramic, this piece can withstand extreme and sudden changes in temperature.

Item 2- 15” Round Heat Diffuser / Insulator Pan: Designed with two ears to make an easy-to-

carry piece, the diffuser /insulator 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).

Item 3- Three (3) T-Nuts / Locking Nuts: These fix to the diffuser pan through its three holes.

Item 4- Three (3) Adjustable Thumbscrews: The thumbscrews act as your controls for increasing

or decreasing the gap between the pizza stone and the pan. This gap controls the heat of
the pizza stone. The screws enter from the inside of the pan, so the heads provide a resting
place for the pizza stone and keep it from sitting directly on the pan and T-nuts. This is
where the magic happens.
