You just have to worry about the diagonals of the rectangular pizza stone.
.
Apply Pythagorean theorem:
Let x = diameter
then
x^2 = 16^2 + 15^2
x^2 = 256 + 225
x^2 = 481
x = 21.93 inches
.
It will just barely fit. Now the question is, are there any obstructions in the way -- such as, the sides of your grill or the grill itself (is it flat?).

Twice the diagonal of the rectangle is 21.93 inches.
Hopefully the diameter of the grill is on the inside and not outside.
It'll fit but it will be close.
