Pizza stone won’t stop smoking

[u/PetalbrookMayor]

Hello!

My parents recently gave me an old pizza stone they had. I’ve used it a couple times already but I’ve noticed that it smokes once it’s been heated up in the oven.

After researching, I found maybe it had some oils seeped into it and it was recommended that I basically just put it into the oven and let it all smoke out.

However, I’ve been doing that for over an hour on 475° and the pizza stone is still smoking. It’s not a heavy smoke but when I open the oven there’s definitely some smoke that comes out.

What does this mean? Should I just let it go even longer? Or is it done for and I should just buy another one?

Thank you!

You can’t make it stop. It has to WANT to stop.

It was probably hanging out with pizza rolls and tater tots and they are a bad influence for sure
