They were making a pizza oven.  There is a better way.

I won't believe it works great until I see it's results. I think you could achieve the same results buy cutting the front out of a lid and raising up a pizza stone on it. I made this one a while back and it worked well. I just don't believe it worked nearly as well as Brians. He has it dialed with the thick reflective top to cook and brown the toppings to where it get's that leoparding.

First, the destruction of that yellow is disgusting.  Second, the problem with the kettle lid, is that it doesn't hold the heat.  It allows heat to pass though.  The reason for putting the cast iron on the top is to retain the heat.  You can also use another pizza stone on top.  It needs to be something that gets hot and holds heat.  Why the hell would you cut a hole, just lift the lid a little bit.  I understand if you just want to do some project, but why destroy this stuff?  Especially a classic.  I know he was to stupid to know it was a classic, but it looks like the work of a hack anyhow....

It's probably the same type of people that refer to the yellow and green kettles "god awful". Ah crap,  ::) there I go again being a condescending snob........ but seriously, what is this guy doing!?  :o

I have tried the Pizza oven several times - it will be in the stores (Europe) in March - and it really performs.
The construction gives around 350 degress (celcius) (662 F) in the oven which makes a perfect pizza in around 6 minutes.

I don't know if it will be introduced in US -  but I hope...
