Question 1:
Is the Cooking Surface Single or Multi-Piece?

Wood Stone
Wood Stone’s cooking surface is a single piece of high temperature, high quality ceramic versus many of our competitors’ multi-piece brick and tile floors.

One-piece construction

Brick construction

Gaps between bricks

Tile construction

Gaps between tiles

Note the image at right.  Two surfaces, no matter how close together they are placed, can never be as efficient for heat transfer as a single piece. Each surface has small ridges which separate the main bodies creating air pockets in between each which act as insulators and block heat transfer.  

Even when mortar is used to bridge these gaps heat flow across the floor is still affected because of the difference in makeup of the materials.
