About time I try some pizza
First attempt at some pizza tonight, Going to try 1 pepperoni and mushroom (my favorite) and one greek (wifes favorite) Kids are gone for the night so figured it would be a good night in case its a total failure.
Few questions for some eggers opinions, I have read through some of the pizza discussions, so I think I might have it close.
Plate setter - Legs up, grid, grid extender, stone?
Home made dough, going to attempt it at 550 - 600, any idea roughly how long they take?
Going to be a windy cook with winds hitting 30 to 50 mph. No trees down yet, so that a good thing. Hope everyone is haveing a great weekend so far! I'll post more later, good or bad....

Sounds like you got it right. Don't go too heavy on the toppings. Stay safe in the wind.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

At that temp should be 8 - 10 min. The rule of thumb for me is to lower the temp to cook the toppings further. What I mean is you have a dance between the crust and the toppings. As stated earlier, at that temp don't go too heavy on the toppings. If you use toppings that require more cooking, lower the temp to 425 - 475. Good luck. We have lots of fun with pizza.

You wouldn't cook a brisket at 600F. If your pizza has much on it, don't bother trying super high temp cooking.

He was just laughing at your cutting board, nothing really to get. Did you cook yet? I really want to know how they turned out.

Just about to put the first one on, and yes texaswig, that is another of the wifes "cutting boards" in the pic.

So whats the verdict there AE???Hows ya gettin' on, me ol ****?Kippens.Newfoundland and Labrador. (Canada).

Sorry for the delay, lost connection out here last niught and gave up.
So the pizza turned out far better than I ever expected, cooked around 500 because we had a lot of toppings, crust came out a bit crispy but not burnt, just how we wanted it. Cant wait to do more and start experimenting with some differant sauces. Would not have been a success on first try with out this forum and all the good reading and help. Thanks everyone.
