They were making a pizza oven. There is a better way.

Agreed! :) Why would they do that to an old yellow??? Just take a black one and butcher it!!!!!
Whoa Whoa Whoa there. Now I'm as upset as anyone over that old yellow having that done to it but what the heck is that Euro accessory?? A pizza oven lid?? There's gonna be a second American Revolution if Weber keeps giving the Euro's all the best toys WTH??

I just drooled on keyboard!
I won't believe it works great until I see it's results. I think you could achieve the same results buy cutting the front out of a lid and raising up a pizza stone on it. I made this one a while back and it worked well. I just don't believe it worked nearly as well as Brians. He has it dialed with the thick reflective top to cook and brown the toppings to where it get's that leoparding.

First, the destruction of that yellow is disgusting. Second, the problem with the kettle lid, is that it doesn't hold the heat. It allows heat to pass though. The reason for putting the cast iron on the top is to retain the heat. You can also use another pizza stone on top. It needs to be something that gets hot and holds heat. Why the hell would you cut a hole, just lift the lid a little bit. I understand if you just want to do some project, but why destroy this stuff? Especially a classic. I know he was to stupid to know it was a classic, but it looks like the work of a hack anyhow....
Brian
What the heck was he doing? Was it going on a gasser of some sort? It irks me to see that yellow 22 get hacked up! >:(
I'm just gonna ignore that hack. If I ever see someone doing something as stupid as that, they'll get an earful..
And Shuan, don't mind Brain, that Pizza domw is looking cool and that pie is really tasty!

It's probably the same type of people that refer to the yellow and green kettles "god awful". Ah crap, ::) there I go again being a condescending snob........ but seriously, what is this guy doing!? :o

I have tried the Pizza oven several times - it will be in the stores (Europe) in March - and it really performs.
The construction gives around 350 degress (celcius) (662 F) in the oven which makes a perfect pizza in around 6 minutes.
I don't know if it will be introduced in US - but I hope...
//Stig
I nominate Stig to be our European Weber distributor, anyone else want to second that? ;)
Stig, Stig, he's our man, he'll get us a euro Weber pizza pan! I could not resist.
He did say he was the marketing director, maybe if it isnt agianst company policy he could get this and other colors of kettles at cost. Then shipping could be reduced if any of the clubbers do business overseas, they could ride piggyback in a container coming over from Europe.
Well, it is Christmas time, I thought I would make a wish list too.

Oh, I missed that. I got the idea from the Little Black Egg project because another member here asked me to make him something that he could leave down and slide pies in and out of without lifting the lid, thus keeping the fire roaring over the dome inside the way the Pizza Hacker does. It worked pretty well, I may make another the next time I have an extra lid around, probably with an 18 lid though. BTW, the one I cut had a major dent in it.

Yep, good thinking! That weber pizza pan sounds like a winner now. I just want to see it in action. Maybe Stig could video one for us. :)
Nice job on the lid conversion. I seems it would hold the heat better than the euro model.

Second. He should send a crate of those new pizza ovens to disperse amongst us... :)
My ffriend Ray ( better known as " Hell Fire Grill" ) made this with an UDS.....
Keeps the Weber lid intact & as you can see, develops plenty of heat......

That's awesome Buckie and now I want to make one! Please invite Hellfire to show us the innerworkings of it.
Here's the build thread from Smoke Ring, I'll see if I can get ahold of him to stop by....
He's done some other trick kettle mods also.....
