can you not just put the stone on top of the grill grates?

Yes you can. Kamado's come with a pot holder insert, that you can also use to put the pizza stone on.

For the OP:

1) Get an appropriate pizza stone. An indoor oven pizza stone is not the same as a high temp grill stone.
2) Make your own dough. The dough makes the pizza, IMO.
3) Here's my recipe:

a. Heat grill up, with stone to 500 degrees.
b. Place your dough on parchment paper.
c. Insert pizza on stone and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
d. Remove parchment paper, cook an additional 3-4 minutes.

When making your dough, make sure the dough is thin. It will rise when cooking and if your dough is thick, then you will have a very thick crust.

Here's a thread on it.
