Title: I might have to make some pizzas tonight!
Post by: MikeRocksTheRed on March 04, 2016, 12:04:04 PM
I've been slowly but surely obtaining more pizza accessories.  Got a new stone, 2 more wooden peels and a set of pizza spinners. 

Planning to make a ton of pizzas tonight for Regan's (GF) family so I went ahead and ordered some Pizza boxes a few days ago so everyone can take some leftovers home all official like. 

I'll try to document everything closely and will post a write-up later tonight or tomorrow.

"A ton"... Sounds like you're going to be busy. Have someone take photos and vids and post them up. I really like pics and vids of cooks. I did this once with my brothers family and cooked up 6 pies but was to busy to document. Same when I did this for my wife's folks and sister and husband.

I see a can of San Marzano. It looks like a Nate's specialty pizza on the menu.

Will post something tomorrow.  Tried to get pics of everything, but in the heat of it I missed a lot of pics.  Was a success overall.  Still learning.  Still improving.  Still eating a pizza here and there that isn't optimal but still great.  Killed desert!  Here's a sneak peak until I can do a write up tomorrow.  Learned a lot tonight...my stone gets too hot and needs a break...and upside down hinged grates are a must!

Tell me what you use for a pizza spinner and where you got it?

Ahh, yes. I was thinking s'mores would be really good in the kettle oven. Can't wait to see your pics. I'm smoking pork butts all day but will cooking pizza in a day or two for sure.

Love them s'mores. Can't wait to see the pizza pics. You mentioned upside down hinged grate...I actually took one of the hinged grates off off the one I use so I don't have to use the grate upside down. It's my dedicated KP grate since I don't have tombstone. 8)

@Russell C.  KP has spinners but a little pricy IMO. I picked up a couple forks from the dollar store and bent the tips over. Here what I got. (http://i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss27/nightriderrr/Mobile%20Uploads/20141106_110358.jpg)

I usually use one of these along with my 10" peel. I'm actually thinking about cutting my ss long handle tongs in half and using those as spinners.

The only issue you might have is the length. I just got the spinners myself and they're 18" long. Hopefully we'll be able to make some dough and try em out in the next couple days.

I'm looking at picking these Cuisinart Pizza Spinners (http://"http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CPS-022-Alfrescamore-Pizza-Spinners/dp/B00N0L5Q6O/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1457315787&sr=1-1") up from Amazon. Not quite as cheap as the bent forks, but cheaper than the KettlePizza ones.

I'm pretty sure that the Kettlepizza spinners and the Cuisinart are the same thing. Kettlepizza just puts a zillion-percent markup on them.

Jon, if you look at the prongs you can tell they're not the same. I'm sure either would do fine, though. I just went with the KettlePizza spinners since I had a coupon and they've been so good to me. Wife is making dough today and I can't wait to try em out!

Kettlecook, I'm pretty sure that both products have had minor changes through the years. But I'm betting that even if they aren't from the same factory, they are from the same province in China.

Hey, Kettlepizza! A authentic Weber chimney for $24.95! I gotta have that.

I'm just saying that they mark up items that they resell for crazy prices.

The Kettle Pizza spinners are made in the USA.  Not from some province in China.  Likely partially explains the cost.  Not saying they don't mark up other stuff (aforementioned chimney, the veranda looking cover) but this could be one of the things that they source from a more premium supplier.
