Buffalo wings and pizza night on the Egg

So, still an Egg newbie........I've only had it for 2 week but have done 6 cooks, so getting the hang of it. 

Anyways this Friday I am hosting a Wings and pizza night. I want to do the wings as an app and then my wife will make a salad while I'm cooking the pizzas. 

I plan to cook the wings raised indirect (High in dome) at about 400. I expect this will take about an hour. Then I plan to cook the pizzas the same......raised indirect only I want to bump the temp up to about 550.

I expect about an hour at 400 fro the wings and then maybe a half hour later raise the temp to 550 for pizza which could take another hour or so as I'm making 4 of them. Here is my question.... Will I have to add lump between the wings and pizza cooks? Or will a full load of lump last me 2-3 hours at those temps?

    Full load will last the duration.  Your plan sounds solid.  Enjoy the cook.

    Like others mentioned above you will be in good shape. Load the lump up to the fire ring and you'll be good to go.

    Have you done pizza on the egg before? Just make sure you have some type of heat deflector between the lump and the bottom of your pizza stone.

    Yeah.....I've done 3 pizza cooks so far and all were great. I use the plate setter, then some firebrick on top of the stock grate with my stone on top of the bricks. So, I plan to leave the plate setter in there from the wings indirect cook. Stone and plate setter should be good and hot for the pizza cook.

    I suggest to Use foil or a drip pan to easily capture and remove the chicken grease from the wings when done  Otherwise you might pick up some of that flavor in the pies.
