Summit Charcoal Grill = pizza oven
« on: July 17, 2016, 04:33:29 PM »
Been wanting to try pizza in this thing and finally had the chance tonight. Pizza dough was from a local Italian deli - wanted to make my own but didn't have the time.



Loaded it up with lump and let her crank to around 600C or so - I figured it is still under warranty so let's not pull punches. I did add two huge chunks of oak during the cook.



Just basic Neapolitan pie - I pre baked the crust before putting on the toppings - wife assembled this beautiful thing.

 

Setup included a medium egg plate setter and cheapo stone bought from BJ's.



First pizza spot on



Second pizza a little doughy but still good - mixed messages between me and my sous chef aka wife on when the dough was ready for the precook. Still very tasty - mushroom, shredded mozzarella, and tomato sauce.




This was the crust on the Neo (or what was left at the moment [emoji41]) - next time wil use homemade pizza dough.

Nice Pies @Bbqmiller !!

The Platesetter really gets those pies into the dome of your SCG!

How long were they taking to cook?

Did you pre-bake the crust on the SCG?

Learned something new with that  egg plate setter, never heard of one.  I have been happy with my simple setup on my Performer but that looks like it would help. @Bbqmiller  Did you cook with the lid closed all the way or raised slightly?  Thanks for sharing

I have used it on a Performer too. Someone else had used this set up too. I did precook the dough a bit - maybe 2 minutes max. Temp was around 550-600.

After the toppings went on they took only 3-4 minutes. I think e plate setter/stone combination keeps the direct heat from underneath tamed a bit and gets the pizza higher in the kettle. The rapid fire vent is nice in getting the cooker up to temp quickly.

I got the plate setter a while back off of Craig's list. Someone bought the wrong size and couldn't return it.

I did melt the lid rollers though[emoji2]

I had the lid closed and both top/bottom vents wide open.

I just put one of the platesetters from a Large BGE into my pizza grill setup and legs down it sits @ 1" above the opening of my KP clone. It should work very well for the Kettle Pizza users that have a Baking Steel or a covered grate on the top bolts.



When I did pizzas on the Egg, I tried to get the pies as high as I could in the dome to get the toppings done before the crust burnt.

Not to knock the Eggs, but I kind of prefer the pizza experience of the Weberkettlepizza!



I saw this deflector for an Acorn Grill that would be a good inexpensive alternative to the BGE platesetter that might work in place of the Tombstone. @G19 @SixZeroFour @varekai

You can also use two weber charcoal baskets to prop up the pizza stone.  Place them upside down under each side of the pizza stone.  You will not have to worry about exploding bricks.
