Posts: 29
I just got online and was prusing through posts (YES THERE SHOULD BE A MISSOURI EGGFEST!) and my wife just leaned over my shoulder and said go to "Outdoor Home" (Shameless plug for where I got my BGE here in Springfield MO) and pick up a Pizza Stone for a family movie nite and Pizza Fest! BUT I NEED HELP! I know there are recipes in the cookbook but what is the set up and how long and what are the things I should really look for! I will return shortly after making my trip! [p]Let's ALL RAISE the BAR - B - Q!

here is what your setup should look like only thing diffrent is put your BGE "feet" under the pizza stone.go at about 500ish deg. 8-10 min you leave your daisey wheel open and you can look through the top and spy on it

Wood Chuck,[p]Check out the ceramic cooking recipe section at the Naked Whiz's website:

[ul][li]peel it [/ul] -
Wood Chuck,[p]I like Spin's dough recipe off the recipe section, and if you have a restaurant supply close to you I highly recommend a pizza screen. This saved me from the burnt crust blues. Pizza screens also allow you to improvise/skimp on the pizza peel, but peels are cheap if purchased from rest. supply and NOT William-Sonoma etc.[p]I go 550ish, platesetter legs down, stone on top, pizza on screen, peek through the top to gauge doneness.[p]Don't forget, the Egg vastly improves frozen / take n bake pizzas too.[p]hth

BigT,
Quote "peek through the top to gauge doneness."
Now I remember where my eyebrows went. Of course, I do have a nice facial tan now.

Wood Chuck,
There lies in wait a web site by a person that lurks among us that I have personally found to be of immense help. It is The Naked Whiz's site. Thia individual seems extremely immersed in the Big Green Egg and all of the Q world. I will not try my next pizza w/out visiting that site. My 1st pizza was a disaster....had no peel....no flour...no cornmeal....then to make matters worse....I soaked my pizza stone in soapy water to clean it.....no soap on the stone please when you finish...just scrape and wipe clean. Mine is currently soaking in clean water then out for two days in the sun to dry completely. Mid week I will be trying another pizza. Good luck w/yours

BENTE,
Thanks, Just picked up the stone! Kids & Mom are Eggcited! You suggest that I use the ceramic feet that my BGE sits on currently to put between the stone and the cooking grate? Is that right![p]Lets ALL RAISE the BAR - B - Q!

Haggis,[p]Thanks for the HELP! So I should have picked up a Plate Setter as well! Oh well I will use three fire bricks I have left over from an outdoor fireplace I have![p]Lets ALL RAISE the BAR - B - Q!
-
Scotty's Inferno,[p]Thanks for the suggestions!!! I think the parchment paper or wax paper will have to work until I can order a pizza peel![p]Lets ALL RAISE the BAR - B - Q!
-
BigT,[p]Thanks for the help, there are a coulple of Restaurant Supply houses here in Springfield! Be a nice way to fill a lazy Saturday![p]Lets ALL RAISE the BAR - B - Q!

yes just like above. do this for two reasons
1 it lets airflow between your platesetter and the pizza stone
2 it allows room for your pizza peel to get in there without hitting your gasket like you can see from my gasket on the top pic thats from not using the "feet"

edbro,[p]"Peeking thru the top"[p]Pizza is a walk in the park compared to a T-rex sear with short tongs [p]BigT

... not when you fire it up around 850-900 for a 2 minute cook.

That was supposed to be in reply to BigT's walk in the part comment. Oh well.
