Pizza1.jpg
<p />Tonight was Pizza night. I made my own Marinara Sauce (just what any self respecting Italian would do) but I did cheat by buying the pizza dough. I made 2 pizzas. The first one with red onions and plenty of mozzarella and a little locatelli cheese. The second one just had plenty of mozzarella and a little locatelli cheese. Even though they were delicious the next time out I will make them with some pepperoni and sausage but since tonight is a Friday during Lent I just plain got out voted (you know the drill no meat on Friday during Lent). Anyway thanks to all that read my ramblings.[p]Pizza3.jpg[p]

    New Bob,
    I preheated the egg with the plate setter and pizza stone to 525 deg. I had the egg at 525 deg. for about 30 minutes with the plate setter feet down and the pizza stone on top. I sprinkeled a little corn meal on the stone right before I put the pizza on the stone. I turned the pizza about about 1/3 around every 4 minutes for a total cook time of 12 min. I had a thick crust as I used the entire dough from a local pizza shop for the 14" stone. Both my wife and I like a thick crust pizza. I do have a pizza peel nothing fancy though. I found a decent one at a William-Sonoma outlet store for $15.00. I hope this helps.

    Man, you're just jumping right in and doing great. All those questions are paying off...beautiful pics, beautiful food.[p]So, you're about one week in now, right? Isn't it unbelievably great? So much to look forward to. I just purchased a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven to wander into that realm of the egg universe. It goes on and on...

    Trouble,
    I to am looking for a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven but I can not find one in my area. Who would have thought that buying a BGE was only the start of having to buy all the rest of the toys.
    You are quite right when you said "It goes on and on..."
