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 onlyfire F-FPA5134-SP1 uses ceramic as its cooking surface material, listed in beige. Ceramic pizza stones are a common choice because they absorb and hold heat reasonably well, helping to produce a crispier crust than cooking on a standard metal grill grate. The beige color is typical of natural-looking ceramic bakeware.
At $39.99 it sits in the lower-mid price range for pizza stones. No cooking area dimensions are provided in the product data, which makes it difficult to confirm fit on a specific grill before purchasing. Checking the full product listing for size specs is an important step before ordering.
With 307 reviews and a 4.3-star average, buyer feedback is broad enough to be meaningful. The rating suggests most buyers get acceptable pizza results from this stone at its price point, though it does not quite reach the higher satisfaction tier that top-rated cordierite competitors hit.

Performance notes
No fuel type, BTU, or cooking area data is published for this product. The ceramic material is the key performance spec. Ceramic stones heat more slowly than metal but retain warmth longer and distribute heat across the surface more evenly than standard grill grates. No weight data is listed, so check the product listing for handling and transport considerations.
What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ceramic and cordierite pizza stones?
Both materials absorb and retain heat for pizza baking, but cordierite is a natural mineral engineered to withstand higher thermal cycling without cracking. Ceramic is a broader category that includes many compositions and is generally more affordable. Cordierite tends to handle rapid temperature swings more reliably, while ceramic can be more susceptible to cracking if the stone is cold when placed on a very hot grill. For backyard grilling, both can produce good pizza results with proper use.
Do I need to preheat the onlyfire ceramic stone before cooking pizza?
Yes, preheating is recommended for any pizza stone. Place the stone on the grill while it is still cold, then let the grill heat up gradually with the stone inside. This reduces thermal shock and brings the stone up to cooking temperature so the crust gets heat from below as soon as the pizza hits the surface. Allow at least 20 to 30 minutes of preheat time for best results.
Can this stone be used for cooking items other than pizza?
Pizza stones work well for flatbreads, pita, and other items that benefit from direct bottom heat on a porous, non-stick-treated surface. Vegetables and small proteins can also be cooked on a preheated stone. The beige ceramic surface will absorb oils and develop character over time, similar to a seasoned cast iron surface.
