I am using a small fan aimed at my lower vent to help achieve high temp pizza cooks. Very inefficient. Does anyone know of a fan that will adapt to the lower vent, like a bellows or digi Q fan , that will run constantly and not need to be connected to a controller?

I used to think the egg could function as a wood fired oven. It cannot. BTW, I haven't done this in many years...
It can however, do as @RRP implies. I too, suggest you move it. House fires will ruin your day.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
MichaelHot embers blowing out the top especially using a fan and into your deck, or that dormant ornamental grass for example. Do the Pizza-Porta guys recommend using a fan?

being aesthetically incorrect, however the dome being a spherical shape and with no smoke leakage, I wonder if it maters? I have made the adjustment since that pic was taken when I changed the gasket. More important, obviously, is any fire danger.The BGE now resides in a table built for it and an additional concrete pad is being made further away from the back deck. I believe I will move my fire extinguisher outside also. Do you know of cases where there were fires being caused from an upright BGE? Curious.

You shouldnt need a constant forced stream of air to hit 700-800, just a good amount (or time) at the beginning, during start up or after the fire is established (to bump temps up quickly). Once the fire hits a certain temp it should roar right along
There is a dimple in the dome that is supposed to line up with a tit on the top band for proper placement/alignment.
