Many of you have followed my pizza saga since I got my Performer and joined the forum. This story has had enough twists and turns to make Dostoevsky weak in the knees and have to steady himself on the furniture. Tonight...it was good eating.
Got my kettle up to 500F, dropped the stone on (gently, of course) and got that to temp. Two baskets of charcoal, off to the side to keep temp up. Bottom damper set to 3/4, top wide open, vent opposite the coals. We kept the dough thinner this time. First pizza on (a GF for the kids) and boom...we had a good one. Kids enjoyed it; The 12-Year Old Child To Whom I Am Related By Marriage ™️ complimented me on learning more about the grill. I probably took it off about 3 minutes too early, but it's gone...so it must have been good.
My wife's vegan pizza cooked great, but the cheese didn't melt quite as well (which is to be expected with a vegan cheese...happens all the time here).
On to mine, using a thinner, glutinous crust. Got the kettle back up to temp, slid the pizza in and off we went. It cooked marvelously.
Unfortunately, no pics as we ate quickly. But it was a huge success after two problematic starts.
Next up, getting my vortex (a Prime Day purchase) and figuring out wings!
