Those look fantastic!! Have you done a pizza on the kettle WITHOUT the kit? I've done a bunch of pizza's but don't have the kit and they come out fine. It is on the wish list of accessories but I'm wondering if it's really that good, or if it should be moved down on the list to make room for a roti.
Eric, I completely get where you're coming from. First thing I'd suggest is going somewhere where they fire pizzas with wood if you haven't had it (or recently had it). Watch them fire em and enjoy. Now you can't duplicate that without a wood fire. You can't efficiently cook pies in five minutes or less, either.
But I honestly don't know when, or even if, I'd ever pulled the trigger on my own. I simply mentioned it to my wife after seeing it online a couple of times, and the cheaper version at Home Depot. The good lady with killer intuition I have must've realized that it was a perfect Christmas gift for a guy who plays with fire and charcoal. Lol. And she might've thought that wood fired pizzas would be a refreshingly faster pace than BBQ! At any rate, I couldn't believe she actually got the kit for me, and the down side was that I became actually intimidated by some of the reviews I started to read before actually trying the dang thing. I'm bad about overthinking stuff and reading too much on the Internet. I'm not gonna go into all that, but will put it like this. I've cooked pizzas like half a dozen times since Christmas already, but still haven't tried my rotisserie she got me, yet. Get the kit with the stone and the metal peel. You use the metal one to manipulate and remove the pizzas, the wooden ones to slide them onto the stone. I picked up a couple of wooden pizza paddles at a kitchen store for cheap, but am gonna order a pair of spinners next. I don't have the issues I've read about where folks think the dome is too high to finish the top before the crust is crisp. Keep the fire up and coals pushed back, and you shouldn't have that issue. Actually, I want the spinners so it will be easier to keep the pizza on the stone while I turn it so I get a crisper crust. Anyhow, sorry if that's more than you wanted to know! Lol. As I might've posted already, my wife says she's created a monster. She doesn't eat chain pizza anymore, though!
