Sunday, Pizza, Sunday

Had a few good pizza cooks recently and finally remembered to take a few photos.




I still have to improve my dough spreading as this was a little thick around the edges and I feel it could have spread better but it tasted great.

Looks good to me! What was your method of cooking it?

My current set up is using my 26" kettle to allow more space for fuel. Charcoal
Along back of kettle with stones close
to front.

I cook on a stone on the cooking grate and a second grate above the pizza on a raised grate. This second upper stone gets more heat on the top of the pizza for more even cooking.

The charcoal basket grate lifters have been replaced by eye bolts.

I preheat stones for an hour and
I add some apple wood chunks to the coals ten minutes before the first pie goes on to crank up the temp.

Yes me too, nice simple approach.  @CharliefromLI where did you get your stone?  What are your target kettle temps?

Both stones are cheap ones from bed bath and beyond. I don't have a specific temp but it seems like the best pies are when then dome is reading over 600.
