Black Rock Grill Volcanic Lava Stone Replacement for Ooni Koda 16 (530 x 430 x 20mm) – Heavy-Duty Basalt Board

Elevate your pizza baking with the natural thermal power of volcanic rock. Precision-cut to directly replace the stock stone in your Ooni Koda 16, this 20mm solid basalt board delivers exceptional heat retention and rapid heat recovery for seamless back-to-back baking.

Formed by nature under extreme temperature and pressure, natural volcanic lava rock features micro-porous wicking action that instantly draws steam away from wet dough. The result is a uniformly blistered, perfectly crisp bottom crust without burning. Unlike soft Biscotto clay stones that flake, chip, or ruin from grease spills, this heavy-duty basalt slab is rugged enough to handle high-heat cast-iron cooking, direct meat searing, and heavy pan pizzas without degrading, making it an incredibly versatile and durable pizza oven baking stone.

Key Features

• Rapid Heat Recovery: Traps dense thermal energy to recover temperature instantly between launches, ensuring your fifth pizza bakes as hot and fast as your first.
• Crisp-Crust Performance: Natural porous structure wicks away moisture on contact to eliminate soggy bases and unlock high-heat artisan crusts.
• Durable Alternative: Stronger than fragile clay stones, offering superior resistance to cracking, flaking, and grease absorption.
• 100% Natural Sicilian Basalt: Crafted from authentic Mt. Etna volcanic basalt from Sicily, this stone is fully food-safe certified, providing a pure, chemical-free baking surface for ultimate peace of mind.
• Extra Thermal Mass: At a full 20mm thickness, this board offers substantially more heat storage than standard 15mm stock cordierite boards.
• Multi-Cook Versatility: Tough enough to hold heavy cast-iron skillets for high-heat steak searing, roasting, and pan pizzas directly inside your oven.

Technical Specifications

Care & Maintenance

• No Soap or Chemicals: Volcanic rock is porous, never use detergents, as absorbed soap spoils future bakes.
• Easy Pyrolysis Cleaning: Burn off food residue at maximum temperature for 20 minutes, then scrape away ash once cool.
• Cool Before Rinsing: Avoid thermal shock by allowing the stone to cool completely before using warm water.
• Natural Seasoning: Staining and colour darkening are normal, building an authentic, non-stick patina over time.
