Title: Kettle Pizza round two
Post by: haeffb on April 16, 2017, 04:07:35 AM

I went back to my thin crust recipe and no coals under the stone this time. Results were better, but I think I'm still not getting enough heat to the top of the pizza. I'd like the crust slightly less crisp and the cheese a little more browned.

Thai dye pizza:

Looks perfect to me!  The more you cook the better you get.  Every cook I do I tweek somthing.

Haef, put a grate on top of the KP and put the pizza pan on top of it during the cook.  See if that helps.

I did that last night and it did seem to help.

Next time, I'm adding my old pizza stone on top of the pizza pan as an additional heat sink. And using my modified grate so I can add fuel during longer cooks - or not worry about being in a hurry...
