Got a pre-made California pizza kitchen BBQ chicken .
Heated the egg to 350...dont know if it's the charcoal I'm using or what, but I cant get the egg above that temp. (Only did once on first cook by mistake)
Cook was a success. Crust nice and crispy; used a pampered chef pizza stone i got from a girl at work.
Definitely excited to try one from scratch.

Looks great.
Take and bakes come in handy, and are best done in the egg.
My checklist is as follows.
1. Make sure inside of egg is clean for air, stir used lump, remove ash if necessary, including checking the holes in firebox
2. Line draft hole of firebox up with draft door.
3. Fill fresh lump at minimum, up to top of fire ring.
4. Light with draft door 100% open, no topper.
5. Assemble preferred pizza setup.
6. Preheat one hr, reaching targeted range, 550-600, adjusting bottom draft door as you approach.BrandonQuad Cities

* Hard to go wrong on pizza...although I'm more of a traditionalist.
* Pampered Chef stones are fine if your indirect heat isn't going to exceed 350°-400° much higher and you should expect it to shatter in a glorious fashion.
We own PC products including the pizza stone. Performs ok in the oven but, imho it doesn't have the thermal mass needed for kamado style cookers. Ironic enough Pampered Chef PDF says their stone is fired at 2000° and glazed. So, basically it is fired at the same or close to the same as the egg and we all know those don't breakLBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL
