The oven in our 5er doesn't heat evenly. Any ideas on how to make it heat more evenly??

We put a pizza stove below the oven rack, above the burner. No problem now.

And the answer IS??? Currently use a broken pizza stone but have considered changing to glazed tile or was it un-glazed tile or was it.... oh well think I'll stick with my broken pizza stone.

Both types of tile or a pizza stone work but are known for eventually cracking. A twin wall - "air cookie sheet" does the same as the tile for evening the heat but won't break.

We tried the tile thing, but the tile broke. Bought an "air"cookie sheet and since then (4 years or more) we have had perfect control of our oven. If the recipe say 350° for 30 minutes, that is exactly what it is.

Ditto. We went through about 4 tiles of various types - always broke. The air cookie sheet works perfectly. We also rotate the food cooking halfway through.
Happy Travels!

I second the unglazed floor tile. You can generally find stone ones that are natural. Don't go over 12"s though unless your oven is bigger than average. A 12" tile still allows the vent holes to be open.
Our ceramic tile broke when we forgot and left it in. It still works just as well and we didn't lose an expensive pizza stone.
