Looking like Pizza in the rain.

Figures, last day of vacation, back to work tomorrow. Was going to use it for my maiden voyage on my new BGE pizza stone. I went to a small neighborhood Italian market by my house. Bought fancy charcuterie and cheese and its been a non stop downpour. Weather.com shows no end in sight as well. Gotta do this tonight or it isn't going to happen on my 12 hour shifts for a while.

    I have cooked pizza in the rain with my smoke ware rain cap, and it was fine. Can you rig some type of rain cap if you don't have a smoke ware?

    I don't get it. I gave up egging in the rain long ago. If I had a gazebo or something, fine, but I got tired of cooking in the rain. Secondly, I do all of my pizzas in the oven now anyway. I honestly can't tell the difference. Except I stay dry and warm.

    ONE of these was done on the egg. Can you guess which? :) Hint... it was not the best one.

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

    I don't like heating up my house with a 500 degree oven in the summer is one big reason. The other is adding a little bit of smoke to give it that wood fired taste like my buddies outdoor pizza oven from Italy that he uses whole logs in.

    Also a long cook for a pork butt or brisket isn't nearly the same in the oven as the smoker.

    Turned out great for my first two pizzas. Went a little lower temperature about 500 degrees just so it didn't get away from me on my first try. Best pizzas I ever made.
