We've had, I think, three pizza stones now. Two of them cracked on the first or second use. The third lasted longer before it, too, cracked across the middle. The ceramic tiles just go on forever until they're so soaked with grease drippings you can't get them clean anymore. Then, at six bucks a box, you throw them away and lay the second half of the box in the oven.
I also would like to point out that those tiles should not contain lead but it is not unknown for it to occur in them. Some countries don't really give a damn and allow lead oxide in ceramic mugs and metallic lead in brass.
That's a good point. That may be one reason why unglazed terracotta tile is the usual recommendation.
