Started with a stainless steel sheet pan from a garage sale.

Lots of really difficult tin snipping (stainless is hard), hacksawing, riveting, bending, and hammering and I have this....

The lid fits on really solidly and it gets pretty hot. Now I've just gotta figure out this dough situation and get some practice.

Made some pizza with Jiffy mix as the dough and some oak firewood and one starter full of charcoal

Super hack! I don't envy you cutting and working that SS. I had to turn a mixing bowl into a sink once and it cost me a brand new hole saw in the process...brutal work.

Absolutely true. Working SS by hand is a royal pain in the back side. That said, you did a pretty darn good job!

That'll work! You're pizza looks like it turned out great!
-
Kick ass!
-
Wow!!!
That's impressive

Thanks for all of the kind words. I was making pizza on a stock kettle, with just a raised stone, but there wasn't enough airflow to keep the wood chunks burning (they would smolder soon after the lid went on). I just happened upon the pan, and tried to imitate pictures I had seen of the kits.
-
That is awesome and impressive.
Not as impressive as if you cut up and did this from a stainless cup cake pan, but still well done[emoji851]
Pizza looks tasty too!

Wow! Never worked with stainless steel, would dremel cut off wheel not work on something like that?

I don't have a dremel, so I'm not sure. It was thick and SS is tough. I could have used my grinder and a cut off disk, but it scares me. So I took the safe route!

I love everything you did except for 2 things! You need one of Brians handles and onions dont belong on pizza! LOL! That looks awesome, so you basically cut the pan in half then riveted it together? You should do a write up on this. I wouldn't mind trying this myself.

My pizza stone was reaching 600+ degrees via my infrared thermometer. I wanted to raise it, so I used took the 12 inch terra cotta saucer that serves as a heat diffuser in my mini WSM. I'm now seeing temps in the high 4's which has been working out well. I think that there's an added benefit of raising the pizza higher into the hot zone of the lid as well.
Not the best pic, but to give an idea
