I had abandoned the idea of pizza on a grill until this thread. That is one of the best pizzas I’ve seen on here as far as getting the top browned. Looks perfect.

And with the 26 I would have room for a little bigger pie. A 22 just doesn’t cut it for me.

Did you use lump and the sns? 

Lid cracked?

Top vent open or shut?

@HoosierKettle I didn't get a good enough pic of my setup. I was out of lump so I used Weber briquettes and a split piece of hickory on top on the hot coal in the SNSXL 2 bricks on the cook grate to set my stone on with it as far to the front as I could get. tested the position of the stone so when I lowered the lid it caught the stone leaving about a 2 1/2 inch gap in front and closed in the back. should have put maybe 4 or 5 lit coals under the stone for a little crisp on the bottom, It was a really good pie. top vent wide open with it back towards the fire. Not sure how hot she got but the handle was frickin smoken hot even with my insulated glove, ie after I found out how hot it was without a glove

Similar to this, did this one several years ago before the sns. This may help visualize what I tried to describe(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/2b21fac35a1c51ea4c8bd7f597f8fe5e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/4df42b5da7934cd8805d39e577d429fe.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/3dfa4fff9c729585652c52921198ae57.jpg)

I’m only guessing but maybe he has the lodge cast iron pizza pan. I think it’s 14” and only has a small lip on the sides. Something I’ve been eyeballing for awhile.

But still, I like the deep dish Chicago style idea too. I do those in the oven in the trusty 12” and they are great.

Lodge has a 17" skillet, part number L17SK3.  I have used it to make deep-dish Chicago style pizza before, and it worked well.  Weighs nearly 20 lbs though.

@JEBIV You have obviously noticed to 26rs can run really hot for long periods. I love baking chicken at 500. Do you think it has anything to do with the large vents and thicker lid? I find if I turn my lid a quarter turn I can raise the temp. Please share your thoughts. Thanks

no doubt you can get a 26 screaming hot, more room for fuel, more air inside the grill, technically the vents are the same size as a 22 so don't ask me to explain. I have long considered tinkering with more air, a p cut on bottom vents and a Ranch top vent. You definitely can find the sweet spot for the location of the top vent for more heat!

Are bottom vents fully open?

JEBIV, that's a good looking pie...

The instructions for the kettle pizza actually state to close the top vents completely, and only to crack the bottom vent. I filled up both of my char-baskets, and formed them in the v formation at back of grill, and dumped some hot coals at the top of the v, to get some under the pizza. I then placed a piece of apple wood on top of both baskets, and let er rip
