Pizza Kettle

[mattmountz94]

Looking into making my own pizza kettle to save some money. Does anyone know the height measurement on it, gauge of material, and size of the front opening. I thinki saw that new pizza kettles aren't as high?

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Even pictures would help iv seen them in videos but can't seem to find any local that I could check out.

Thanks

Never mind found what I was looking for elsewhere on this forum

I have the "Kettle Pizza", but if I were to build my own I would copy the "PizzaQue." Either that or cut some kind of roof to lower the head space.

The more I read of the kettle pizza hacks, like the Baking Steel on the top or a grate with a stone on it kind of makes the kettle lid redundant.

I'm leaning more towards cutting an open 55 gallon drum and using the lid with a 2" screw in exhaust stack.

BTW @mattmountz94 what are measurement specs of the kettle pizza??

@mattmountz94 -  If you need me to take any measurements of my KettlePizza just let me know.  If you have the right tools I think it would be fiarly easy to replicate.

thanks guys but i went ahead and just got the pizza que about a month back.  We have a sheetmetal shop at work but till you figure in the price of a sheet of stainless and the time to make it the pizza que is way cheaper.  not to mention if i made it i would have to buy a pizza stone and a peel which are all included with the que.
