Blueberry Galette on the BGE

First time making a blueberry galette on the BGE. Actually, first time making a blueberry galette. Which sounds fancy but really is just an "open-faced sandwich" version of pie.
Recipe is from cover of Bon Appetit July issue: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/blueberry-pecan-galette
Setup was platesetter legs up and a pizza stone, heat egg to 375. I rolled out the dough on a Silpat baking mat, slid it onto a cookie sheet, and cooked it on top of the pizza stone for about 45 minutes until it was all bubbly.
Turned out pretty good...except, I modified the dough recipe a bit and used 1/2 butter, 1/2 leaf lard. I rendered the lard myself about a week ago and this time it turned out slightly porky tasting, so I'm suspicious the farmer sold me regular lard instead of leaf lard. It was still pretty good...pork and blueberries isn't a horrible combo. Just not what I expected!

I have been getting such great ideas from all of you for a while now, it's time to share!! I always tell myself "It's just a big oven that makes everything taste better" when I am wondering "Can I cook that on the egg?"

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

How do you pronounce Galette ? That's not a word I use too often here in the hills.

We use Tendergrass Farms leaf lard. It makes a super flaky crust, with no porky flavor. Great stuff.Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle

@blind99 thanks for the tip on Tender grass Farms. I need a new source. I've also heard Lard Lad on Etsy is a good supplier of leaf lard.

@dldawes1 I have no idea how to pronounce it. That why I call it an open-faced pie!

Looks great! I bookmarked that recipe myself. I have yet to make it though.SE PA
