Inaugural Pizza cook on Large C Q' method
Scratch dough for the pies. 3 generous cups of flour yields 2. I could have made em look pretty but i didnt bother to oil the crust before placing on the cook so its kind of pale. All in all solid time with the large egg.
Lets not forget the mini, pre cooked some sausage partially
Set Up
7 minutes and done even @ 450 degrees.
2nd pie both cooked fast at sub 500 temp and gasket looks just fine.

Dunno, man. I never use any cap, DFMT or otherwise. For any cook except lo n slo. I cook most egged pies at 500°. I never use a grid. Nor do I oil the dough. All of my dough recipes are by weight. Hard to tell from your pics, but your stone doesn't look as high as mine.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Guess it wasn't your method forgot I did not need the grid.
I did notice my peperonis got charred a bit, a little like yours it was interesting considering the temps were not high.... For pizzas.
I was satisfied. I go for a thinner cruat pizza, dough is close to breaking before i place on toppings.Seattle, WA -
Grid shouldn't make much, if any, difference. Don't know what to tell you. Mine NY pies always turn out like the pic. I sometimes do napoletana doughs at 700-900° that look like this (blurry) pic at 900°.And here's another 500° NY dough pie...

One more thing... If you want to try an outstanding NY dough recipe, check this one out. It's what I always use for NY style pies. There's a link in the article to my favorite pizza sauce too. Both by the same guy, Kenji Lopez-Alt from Serious Eats. Almost everything I've tried from him has been excellent!

Is that pepperoni, cherry tomatoes and squash blossoms? That sounds like the most amazing pizza ever!Finally back in the Badger State!

Thanks, Black Badger - pumpkin blossoms, actually. It was a photogenic pie, but it tasted like pepperoni, halved cherry tomatoes (or maybe grape) and... fresh cut grass. Maybe squash blossoms are better?cazzy, thanks. I usually use Margherita brand stick pepperoni. Cups nicely and the edges char. I prefer the flavor of the standard to that of their "Italian Style" version.SkinnyV, my apologies for the hijack. It was certainly not my intent.">
