• a heat shield having a side wall extending inward from a lower end to an upper end, the lower end extending from the one or more upstanding walls of the first side and the second side of the main body such that the side wall extends continuously between the first side and the second side of the main body and such that the heat shield provides a separation between the baking chamber and the main body, the upper end extending to define a shield opening and a ledge;
• a first stone and a second stone defining a bottom surface and an upper surface of the baking chamber, respectively, the first stone configured to receive the food product thereon and the second stone configured to be positioned over the shield opening to be suspended on the ledge of the heat shield and above the first stone;
• and
