I had a 3-day weekend and was really looking forward to not having to be anywhere, or do anything too demanding. I was really hoping to submit an entry for the burger throw down, but didn’t have the time to do it the way I intended. We still enjoyed some mighty fine burgers Saturday evening though!
I had pizza on the menu for Sunday, and was able to get a few pics of this cook. It had been several weeks since my last pizza cook and was looking forward to making some pies! My M-I-L and her husband (Barb & Phil) had not had the kettle fired pizza yet, and finally accepted my invite to join us.
We started off with a big pile of hot wings. I cooked these on my Gen 2 Performer. Standard stuff…Franks Hot Sauce, with a touch of butter. I could eat these all night long.
Just a “plated” pic lol. I had way more than these four…
I dumped the burning coals, from the hot wing cook, into my SS Performer and added a small split of Red Oak. From this point on, I only used small splits of Red Oak to fire the Kettle Pizza. The splits were about 12” long and not very thick, maybe 2”-3” max. I made two cheese pizzas, two pepperoni pizzas and one that had baby spinach, fresh mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese.
Prepped pepperoni ready for the fire
Pepperoni in the oven.
This one is done.
Spinach, fresh mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese.
Spinach done.
Barb & Phil really enjoyed the wings and pizza! It’s pretty cool to see how amazed people are, when they see you make a pizza like this for the first time. It makes the effort that much more worthwhile! Thanks for looking!
