    Looks delicious!! My kinda pizza (except I add fresh basil). What was wrong with 700°?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I forgot to buy fresh basil. couple of hot spots on the bottom. Not a lot. I disagree that you have to heat an egg for a whole hour prior to cooking that high. The stone was raised by green feet. I like the more traditional pepperoni and onion. I will add that next time.

    The crust is looking good. I picked up some caputo 00 and it really makes nice dough.

    Al looks real good, what is wrong with it?
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    I find 650 works well for me. Have a harder time getting to 700 so I just add a minute or so to cook time.

    that looks really good! I've tried going that nuclear too. Have also tried going "naked" without platesetter--getting stone up high enough or the coals down low enough seems to make this doable and the stone using an IR thermometer gets up to 600+. For most crusts, 550 seems to be a good stone temp to achieve. With the 00 flour you can go higher. I have a few 00 doughballs fermenting in the fridge for the weekend, will post as well- will try one at 550-600 and one more nuclear. A big problem we seem to have is opening the dome- we lose a lot of top crust cook while the bottom gets nuked. That's why the lower temps for longer (5-7 mins) seem to yield more consistent results. Good cook though!

    That was my thought. I "think" the stone does get hotter than a pizza brick oven. The coals in a brick oven are not right below the cooking surface.

    I bought some Caputo 00 flour so I can try pizza myself. I can't wait to see how it goes. I'm afraid to invite company over for pizza until I've tried it a few times. I wouldn't want to have to call out for delivery pizza after promising a home cooked one!

    to get what you want you have to increase the heatflow, the platesetter being flat is working against you forcing the heat downward. the fresh mozz always looks nice but if you buy the stuff in the deli section and shredd it yourself it helps with cooking the top of the pie faster.try one at 600 and then again at 900, the crust is alot different. you did get some nice charring to start on the crust, i like that

    I always wanted to cook a pizza in under 3 min. Just some parts of the bottom, not much, was cooked a bit more than I would want. I think I might do the same temp next time and change the setup. I did legs down and stone on the green legs. Unlike a real brick oven, the heat from the bottom heated up the stone a little to much. I need more space between platesetter and stone, green feet not enough.

    Mini fest will be a couple chunks of meat and Roasted corn from Ohio. I will be in the pool more than standing next to the egg. I will also need several umbrellas. For my drinks.
