Bad pizza
Picked up a Papa Murphy on the way home and fired up the LBGE. Apparently I still had lots of "stuff" on the plate setter from Turkey Day when the pyrex baking dish I had placed the Sittin Turkey in shattered. The pizza was overcooked and tasted like burned paper. Well, at lease I was able to use a $2 off coupon and only paid $12.
On the bright side, the red moscotto my lovely wife put in the refrigerator last night was fabulous.

What temp did you "burn the paper pizza" at?Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Got to have a sense of humor. I don't like cooking pizza on a stone that is not clean.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
Get a pizza stone. The place setter gets too hot to cook pizza on. Or turn the place setter legs up and cook the pizza on the grate.

I cook on the paper for about 8 min then slide off on my pizza stone for another 4. Usually nice and crispy crust. The whole garage was FULL of smoke. I think I should have just let it all burn off before I started. Oh well. I know that everyonce in a while it will not be perfection.

Your pizza stone is a cooking surface that should never touch fat or oils. Anything in that ceramic will leach into the crust. Probably your earlier pizzas didn't have a problem because you didn't have a contaminated place setter. Anyway, you can use a cookie sheet or something else - the grate. You don't need a pizza stone unless you're going to do a lot of them.

There was LOTS of smoke that I should have waited to end. Thanks Nola for the advise. I remember reading somewhere that you should wait for the "clean smoke" smell to start cooking. Well, I was hungry.
