Pizza Premiere!

JMJ

With a granite stone in my indoor oven, I haven’t been desperate for Egg pizza. But today it happened! Filled it with lump up to almost half the fire ring, and off it went. The stone is danish (a Fredstone) and it’s virtually impossible to burn the bottom of the pizza on it. 
I didn’t really aim for 700-750, but it wouldn’t settle for less, literally. 4-5 minutes was enough for each pizza. 

Learned three things:

1. The existing underbite grew. 
2. Fried some eyelashes. No idea how this happened. Burped it like a baby, or at least I would like to think so... 
3. I have performed a few clean burns before. Only I haven’t, until now. 

Thanks for all the input before this happened, forum!

Pizza on the BGE is one of my favorites. From your last photo, I dont see a heat deflector between the fire and your pizza stone? You want a plate setter or similar between the fire and the pizza stone, or the stone gets too hot and you’ll burn the bottom of your pizzas before the top cooks.

Nice looking pizza! What's with the underbite?

And I would recommend using platesetter legs up > grill > two fire bricks on their sides > pizza stone balanced on bricks.

Ive used several configurations and found that the best - and you'll always get to keep your hair! You can kind of see the configuration from a pizza I cooked yesterday - two fire bricks on their sides. Cooked at 300-350c. Takes about 4-5mins per pizza

Thanks for noticing! As I wrote, it’s impossible to burn the bottom with this particular stone. It’s not ceramic but made out of som quite porous and insulating material. So the bottoms where
perfect, but the edges got a little scorched. 
That said, I’ll definetily follow your advise next time!

Thanks! I guess the underbite worsened because the dome portion of the band expanded, allowing for the springs to ”pull it downwards”. I will remove the springs and adjust the band accordingly. Guess that will help. 
Great idea with the bricks. I have an adjustable rig from CGS so I can’t use the PS, but I’ll use the oval stone and see if indirect makes a difference.

I use my AR and oval stone. Works well.
