Hey guys got a bread stone and its working great. But I'd like it to get a little hotter as the base crust is a little soft, the stone is currently on the middle shelf. I have a gas oven so would top or bottom be hotter. I know heat rises but does having the bread stone nearer the heat element make a difference?

I could of course do a couple of trial tuns but just wanted to see if anyone could tell me.

Many thanks
