I place the stone on top of the heat plate. Works great. Keeps the bottom of muffins, banana bread, etc from getting too done. I bought it at Target a few years ago.

Flat spots are from the dark ages of old nylon bias tires. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Covering them from sunlight exposure would be a good thing. Some drive them up on boards,...
