KettlePizza vent positions
« on: August 15, 2016, 04:13:42 AM »
Folks,

Just bought a KettlePizza attachment for my 22.5 OTG and been wanting to use it with home made dough. What are the recommended vent positions on the kettle? Instructions say "For most cooking applications, we recommend keeping the top vent closed and the bottom vent slightly open. Feel free to experiment with the vents depending on the exact fuel combination you may be using." Do you follow this or leave the bottom vent fully open and top vent closed? Any tips on using this accessory correctly are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I keep the bottom vent wide open and the top lid vent completely closed.

Bottom wide open, top closed all the way.  If you forget to close your top vent you will melt the handle on it!

Sometimes bottom and top wide open, and sometimes bottom closed and top wide open. I always leave the top open.
