Trying to dial in the little guy for tailgating season. Last time I did pizza on the small was Feb 2012. Pics of the burnt offerings from that cook are around somewhere. Practiced my backhand disc golf throw in the snow and sub-zero temps. hahaha
Most camp cooks with the small have been quick grilling type cooks with minimal prep, or helping my cousin BBQ with his new WSM. Now that I am getting acclimated with the towing, setup, operation, and breakdown of the new camper, it's time to start focusing a little more on food offerings. Wings will be done raised direct on the WSM, so the goal is to replicate the large egg without sacrificing too much size in diameter.
For the large, it is usually 3 14" doughballs with Reinhart's American-style Neapolitan recipe from his free Craftsy class. The extra oil really gives the cornicione a golden hue and crunch for cooking at only 500. Setup is High-Que, Woo, two split firebricks, and BGE 12" stone. Preheated for an hour or so, pie went on at 500 dome.
Not the best pie, but only going down 2" in diameter and two egg sizes is awesome.
Toppings were pepperoni, cherry tomaters, scallions, basil, calabrian chiles.
Wonder if this can be done on a minimax?
Thanks for lookin'

That is a great looking pie for sure @Focker. I have not made a pizza on my small. I might just have to try one soon!If the mini-max is the same size grid, I don't see why you couldn't do it on the MM.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Nice! I have a 10" stone and was wondering if a 12" would allow enough airflow.Obviously it does!They/Them

Thanks @SmokeyPitt,The small does it all, like the big boys.Just sh!tstirrin' the MM lovers.I think the MM has the same grid dimensions. Having the fire that close to your pie, even with a barrier, may be tough.BrandonQuad Cities

Looks good. But your pies always do!
I'm doing a couple on Mom's kettle tonight. If I had a stone, I'd just use her oven. No stone, no egg. Next trip, I'll plan better.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
