The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
The Skyflame SK-QA0051-SS1 uses cordierite as its primary cooking surface material, which is the standard choice for pizza stones because cordierite handles rapid thermal cycling well and resists cracking when going from room temperature to high grill heat. The metal component likely refers to a frame or rack that holds the stone in place on the grill.
At $33.99 it is priced in the middle of the entry-level pizza stone segment. The gray color and dual-material construction give it a utilitarian look that fits right in next to charcoal grill gear. No exact stone dimensions are provided in the product data, so confirm the size fits your grill before ordering.
With 103 reviews at 4.5 stars, the sample size is modest but the satisfaction level is high. Early adopter buyers tend to be enthusiasts who use the product intentionally, which can push ratings up for niche grill accessories like this one.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Skyflame SK-QA0051-SS1 be used on a gas grill?
The product lists charcoal as its fuel type, so it is confirmed for charcoal setups. Whether it works equally well on gas grills is not specified in the published data. Cordierite itself handles gas grill temperatures fine in general, but check the manufacturer listing for any specific restrictions before using it on a gas grill.
How do you clean a cordierite pizza stone?
Cordierite stones should not be soaked in water or put through the dishwasher. The standard method is to let the stone cool completely, scrape off any stuck debris with a plastic or metal scraper, and wipe down with a damp cloth. Staining is normal and does not affect cooking performance. Avoid using soap, as it can absorb into the porous surface.
