Anyone using these?

I made a set of my own-



Cut at the bend and - we're spinnin'!

Definitely buying some cheap tongs for this.

Nope. I don't use spinners. I use a small peel for turning the pizza.

i've been using the peel, but for those pies that cook in 90 seconds, i need all 90 seconds of that crust on the stone. i'm making some spinners

I didn't want to pay for the spinners from KP so I made my own, but YOURS are definitely the way to go... Thanks for the idea.

I just did some pizza a few hours ago in the KP.  I use these screens for the pies.
Easy to load and unload using an aluminum peel.  Also very easy to spin on the stone using tongs.  Not expensive, either.  $3-4 a piece.
With a nicely pre-heated stone, I can still get golden brown crust underneath.  I highly recommend them.

My BBQ (and pizza mentor) always had us build the pies on the peels with a little corn meal to act like "ball bearings" to slide in and out effortlessly. The pies were set on the cooling screens after cooking to set the crust.








Either way, the screens are a good item to have.

are these screens strong enough to cut pizza on?

I think that would just ruin your pizza cutter.. But I do see the reason to put them on the screens AFTER the cook, reduces chance of "sweating" and making the crust soggy. Everybody with good ideas!!

I love my pizza spinners.  I got a set that look identical to what Kettle Pizza sells but they are some other brand off of amazon.  It makes a huge difference to be able to leave the pizza totally in the grill and be able to rotate the pie throughout the cook.  I do something similar to the cooling screens, but I just use cookie cooling racks.   They only need a few minutes on there, then they go to a cutting board for slicing. It really does help prevent your crusts from getting soggy.

@Troy , I do not cut the pizza on the screens.  Prior to laying the PD on the screen, I spray it, then lay the PD on it.  Build the pizza.

When the pie is done, it slides right off the screen on to a cutting board.

makes sense
i don't want to cook on the screens, but i like the thought of the crust not getting soft after they're cooked

+1 for setting hot pizzas on cooling racks for a few minutes before cutting them.  The crusts stay nice and crispy, and the pizza is still plenty warm. 

Also that pizza screen will fit perfectly inside the Lodge CI pizza pan.  It's a great combination.

That spinner mod is really a wonderful idea.  I'm for sure going to be on the lookout for some cheapo tongs
