    That's a 12 oz store bought dough rolled/tossed to 14 inches on a pizza screen with pepperion sausage mushrooms and onions cooked at 500 until bottom & top looks like the top of a loaf of bread.

    Good looking pies. Bottom on the one shown looks perfect. What's your setup for cooking pizzas? 

    Been experimenting and last night did one using the AR with just the stone. Nothing for indirect since last time I used the AR with the spider and 13" stone, couldn't get temps above 450 and occasionally 500F. Last nights on came out good but really had to watch the bottom from getting burnt before the top starts melting. Tried 4 different setups over the past 6 months and the ink the platesetter has given best results so far.

    Awesome, thanks for posting. Not familiar with the pizza que. Does the same thing are elevating a stone from what I can see? You're using a pizza screen as well. Have not researched those but some people swear by them from what I've read.

    The pizza que like you said just raises the stone above the felt about 2 inches, the screen works great for me as I build the pizza on the screen and just walk it out to the egg and set it on the stone, I cook at 500 dome for 3/4 minutes than spin the screen 180 degrees for another 3/4 minutes then slide it direct to the stone until done which typically takes 14/16 minutes. There are several ways to bake pizza and this is the method that I have a history with and works for me. I have tried several methods on the egg and this is what I prefer, I have seen several other methods/posts that get the job done and look awesome, I think everyone should try them all and settle for what works best for them.
