Well the pizza turned out GREAT!!! Thanks for all the help. Thought I'd share a few pics (that's what we do around here). [p]I left the room for 3 minutes and Todd decided he could "throw back" to the college days when he worked at a local pizza shop. Needless to say - the "dough throwing" technique doesn't stay with you as much as you'd think...

    mad max beyond eggdome,[p]I actually nearly spit beer when I read that one max. One wierd thing is a buddy of mine growing up's dad invented said doughboy. Has a gold one on the mantle.[p]great pies though. Can't wait to re-try the almonds tomorrow with 3 kinds of abt's, crab, scallops, mussels and steaks. My goal is all three eggs at one time tomorrow plus marshmallows over the chiminea.[p]All hail the egg.[p]By the way, I know this is a bit personal, but I've never asked. How many eggs you got anyway?[p]

    Car Wash Mike,
    Sorry it took so long to get back to you - I've been making ABT's for tomorrow (long prep time - big pay off).[p]Since this was our first cook - we went basic. We followed tips from Naked Whiz and T-Rex. Check our their sites for good info.[p]We used a platesetter, a pizza stone and a screen (per T-Rex's advise).

    Cooked around 600 dome and tried to keep the majority of the heat in the top so the toppings would cook. And per lots of previous posts - we did preheat the pizza stone.[p]I hate to say it - but I bought spaghetti sauce for this cook (garlic and olive oil flavor). I liked it, but Todd thought it needed a little more flavor. We don't like a lot of sauce on our pizza to begin with, so we took it real easy with the stuff. Maybe some oregano or other spices will be in the future. Thanks to everyone else working out all the bugs - we'll have this mastered in no time. [p]Oh yeah - we bought our dough at Publix (in the bakery). Not sure if you have one around you - but it was really good (and a pretty reasonable price. I think around $1.65 for one large 15-inch pizza).

    Eggsellent,[p]Just asked to verify the facts. I actually cooked the first one at 525 and the second closer to 500, but due to the hot pizza stone, the second was done faster (I think). [p]Other than that, she ain't lyin'.

    Car Wash Mike,[p]While it wasn't perfect, I liked the cheese pizza fine and I know I could do better. Can't wait to try it again.[p]I like trex's idea of doing bobboli crusts. I may try that next, although the publix stuff was really good and fresh...

    TRex,
    YES - those screen really do the trick (thanks for putting that in your tips). Our friend owns a pizza joint, so he got one for us (little does he know how much it will cost him since we'll be making our own pizza from now on).[p]Happy New Year - and if I haven't said so before THANK YOU very much for all your help this year. We've learned so much from everyone on this forum. We look forward to helping others for years to come.
