    Bummer. Live and learn. All I can suggest is read as much as possible before next attempt.

    Adjustable rig and pizza stone up in the dome FTW.  You'll rebound with the SB cook.

    Ouch. Nothing stings like one's injured pride.

    Do you have a plate setter? You could use the that as a stone. Or even a regular pizza pan, but keep the temps below 450. CI works as well, especially for deep dish. @Carolina Q has a great thread about that somewhere.

    So you took a pizza and just threw it on the cooking grate with the pictured inferno blazing away mere inches below....yeah I can see how the pizza might have got a little crisp.  :o

    Laughed when I saw the title, then laughed harder as I scrolled down the pictures. I am really sorry you ruined dinner though. Cook and learn I guess. Make sure to show us your next try.
