Is it okay to use two pizza stones in one convection oven?
ATK did a test for preheating stones at 500 degrees F and found that to get the stone to 500 degrees you had to preheat for 1 hour. At 30 minutes the stone was 415, @ 45 mins it was 451. They had pictures of pizzas baked at these different preheats and the difference was amazing how much better the 1 hour preheat made the dough rise and brown.

are they for 2 different pizzas? or stacked together for a thicker block for more heat?
I use 2 stones for 1 pizza.
1 on top and 1 on the bottom.
Trying to get a hot spot in the oven.
Works good for me.
I would think 2 stones would take the same time to heat up?
Good luck in your endeavor.
Andy - I looked at the article and could not find a reference to stone thickness. Although the recommended stone was the "Old Stone Oven" brand. You may be able to get some info off the Internet
