    first pizza cook turned out well, however the cookies were less than stellar although the little one enjoyed them.

      Looks good. I've never tried a Kirkland as we are not members of Costco, but I regularly rotate take and bakes from Nick 'n Willy and Papa Murphy with my home made pizzas.

      It's amazing how thinly Costco can slice the pepperoni on the Kirkland pizzas.
      It is paper thin.

      That's funny, but I like it thin as it cooks up better IMO. When I make my own pizzas I buy a Boars Head brand pepperoni stick and slice it thin using a sharp knife...maybe not paper thin but thinner than say those Hormel slices sold in a package.

      And they appear to be uniformly sliced. Great knife skills.

      Now can anyone teach me how to bake on this thing?...I know...I know...need a raised grid.  Cookies weren't awful.  I just wasn't happy with them.

      I'm not sure I would like cookies off the egg. It would have to be a very neutral charcoal. Smokey flavor I don't think would go well with cookies.

      Not being a smarty*ss, but what temp was suggested for both the pizza and the cookies? It looks like the cookies may have gotten burnt meaning your stone was too hot - but I'm just guessing at this point.

      LOL - guess that means you threw out the directions! Been there, done that!

      @RRP you should join Costco - killer deals!

      SAMS where we have belonged for maybe 20 years is 5 miles and just 2 stop lights from us...Costco is like 18 miles and several DOZEN stop lights so time is an element. Maybe later...sometime.

      Completely logical. Pepsi vs. Coke

      I followed the directions for the cookies; however, I used my own judgement on pizza 550 degrees for 8 minutes.  Got the temp back down to around 400.  Should have been 350 but it was getting close to the little one's bedtime.  Guess I answered my own question.  The egg, I've discovered is quite difficult to bring down in temp once blazing hot.  Should have taken out the stone for a while to help with the temp reduction.

       I put a CI pot of water in the egg to help temps drop faster. Or if using a drip pan I fill it up with cool water. It helps. Still not quick to drop temps once elevated and stabilized.

      I cooked a frozen thin Homerun pizza last night and put it right on the grill grate high in the dome (extender adjustable rig).....I rotated the pizza after 5 minutes at 400 degrees and it came out darn good.  

      I dont think you you always need to use a pizza stone.
