Overview
The Unicook 17-inch pizza stone uses cordierite as its material and is listed with charcoal as the intended fuel type, making it a deliberate fit for smoker and charcoal grill cooking. Cordierite is among the best materials for pizza stones because of its thermal shock resistance and moisture-absorbing properties, both of which contribute to a crispier pizza crust at grill temperatures.
At 17 inches this is a round stone sized for large pizzas. No thickness dimension is published in the available data, so checking the listing for the exact profile is worthwhile, especially if you are placing it on a specific grill grate configuration. No weight is listed either.
With 122 reviews at 4.6 stars, the sample size is moderate but the satisfaction level is high. For a product that targets a specific use case, including smokers and charcoal grills, a 4.6-star average suggests it is delivering well for that audience. Buyers looking to add pizza cooking to a charcoal or smoker setup will find this a well-validated choice at $39.99.

Performance notes
Fuel type is listed as charcoal, indicating this stone is designed for the heat profile of charcoal grills and smokers, where temperatures can vary and smoke is part of the cooking environment. Cordierite material handles that heat cycling well. No BTU data applies as this is an accessory stone. The 17-inch diameter is the primary sizing spec; confirm thickness and weight on the product listing.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Unicook 17-inch stone be used on a pellet smoker?
The stone is listed for charcoal use, but cordierite material itself handles the heat range of most pellet smokers. Pellet smokers typically run in similar temperature ranges to charcoal setups. Check the manufacturer's listing for explicit pellet smoker compatibility guidance, and confirm the stone diameter fits your pellet grill cooking chamber before ordering.
Does cooking pizza on a smoker affect the flavor of the crust?
Yes, this is actually a draw for many backyard chefs. On a charcoal or wood-burning smoker, the crust picks up light smoke character that adds depth to the pizza flavor. The amount of smoke influence depends on how much fuel is actively burning during the cook and how long the pizza spends on the stone. Most pizza on a smoker runs fast at high heat, so smoke uptake is light rather than heavy.
How do you clean the Unicook 17-inch cordierite stone after use?
Let the stone cool completely in the cooker before removing it. Never rinse a hot stone with water. Once cool, scrape away any stuck debris with a metal or plastic scraper. Wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid soap, as cordierite is porous and will absorb it. Staining and darkening of the beige surface are normal and do not affect future cooking results.
