Heat Distribution Stone, D270

The D270 heat distribution stone is a practical accessory for a tandoor, oven or traditional cooking area, designed to help transfer heat more evenly to the food. Its purpose is to distribute heat and reduce direct exposure of the dish to coals, strong flame or intense temperature.

During high-temperature cooking, some foods may receive too much heat in one area. This can lead to local burning, excessive drying or uneven cooking. A heat distribution stone helps make the process more stable, especially for dishes that need gentler and more controlled heat.

The D270 size indicates a diameter of approximately 270 mm, offering a larger heat distribution surface than D220. This is convenient when a wider heat coverage area is needed or when the stone is used with larger dishes and compatible supports.

🔥 Why a heat distribution stone is useful

When cooking in a tandoor or a very hot oven, heat can be extremely intense. For some dishes, direct exposure to strong heat may be too aggressive. The stone helps create a more balanced heating zone.

The stone helps to:

✔ distribute heat more evenly;
✔ reduce direct exposure to coals or intense temperature;
✔ protect delicate foods;
✔ stabilize temperature in the cooking area;
✔ achieve more controlled baking;
✔ use accumulated heat more efficiently.

It is a useful accessory for those who cook in a tandoor and want more control over temperature, especially for foods that should not be placed directly above coals or exposed to aggressive heat.

♨️ Larger surface for heat distribution

Compared with D220, the D270 stone provides a wider coverage area. This can be useful when cooking larger dishes or when broader thermal protection is needed between the heat source and the food.

It is useful for dishes that need:

✔ indirect heat;
✔ slow cooking;
✔ more stable temperature;
✔ protection from coals;
✔ more even heat distribution;
✔ a more controlled result.

In practice, this accessory can be useful for baking, indirect heating and dishes that need gentler cooking.

• reduces direct exposure to intense heat;
• provides a wider thermal protection area;
• allows more controlled cooking;
• is useful for indirect heat and slow dishes.

🪵 Recommended fuel for tandoor

For cooking in a tandoor, well-dried natural wood is recommended:

✔ Beech
✔ Hornbeam
✔ Oak
✔ Acacia
✔ Other well-dried hardwoods

Well-dried wood provides more stable temperature, cleaner burning and less smoke.

Do not use chipboard, MDF, painted, lacquered, impregnated or chemically treated wood.

👨‍🍳 CasaGrill recommendations

Use the stone only in a space compatible with its size and temperature conditions.

Heat the stone gradually and avoid thermal shock. Do not place a cold or wet stone directly into a very hot environment.

Do not pour cold water over the hot stone. Let the product cool naturally before cleaning.

If used in a tandoor, position the stone securely so it does not move during cooking.

After use, clean the stone from food residues or ash and store it in a dry place.
