Cool, that's the first time I've seen someone use one of those pizza cookers for something other than pizza 

jdMyers

Oh I'm fat!  And thanks

Fabulous. And, glad to see you're back on your feet (literally). 

jdMyers

jdMyers, tell me about those plates you are searing the steaks on?

Worth their weight in gold.  Handles 1000 degrees no problem.  Non stick.  Rinse right off.  At first I fussed about them.  Now I swear by them.  Also lifetime warranty.  Feels like cast aluminum cooks like cast iron cleans like teflon.

How did I miss this til now?  Nailed that finish on the steak.  Great spread across the board.  Congrats.

I currently use cast iron for my steaks and stuff in the WO.  Do you find the aluminum trays work better?

Almost all my wood fired oven cookware is thick gauge cast aluminum. It's so much easier to maneuver than heavy cast iron. 

Have you got a Tuscan grill? You can rake some coals under it and you get the best of both worlds.

That’s some good looking food! Glad your back at it.

For those interested this is the middle sized oyster pan.  There is a 3 finger paw print smaller and a massive larger one.  This medium fits the large egg as well.  This cook was after the steaks. 800 degrees

Instead of a Tuscany rack, I use a alfa bbq500.  It's a Tuscany rack and pan to hold the coals.  I kept getting dripping in between coals and on my oven floor.  This removed that.  It also rotates and slides

Nice….seems to me the tongs should be longer though, ya know, to preserve arm hair.

Normally you are so right but you can spin and pull the whole thing to the edge.

I don't know about your specific oven, but usually you don't have to worry about drippings on the stone. The high-heat burns it off. I've roasted a Leg of Lamb in mine that throws off an ungodly amount of fat and you'd never know it the next time the temp hits 700F+.

You do a surprising amount of cooking in the door way and the front stoop. Long tongs are not necessary there.  I pretty much only use a small pizza turner for moving things deep in the oven.

Good to know.  I have a roccbox and no problems thus far
