Going topless question

Looks like about 2" or so according to the below thread. I've noticed however with no Daisy I keep mine about half open. So maybe YMMV

For my large, 3/4-1" lower vent (screen closed), no daisy = 400°. So, 1.5" is a good starting point. Just pay attention on the way up in case it starts to overshoot.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

On that note does the screen being closed matter at all vs being opened? I haven't noticed any difference.Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.

Leave the top off and adjust the bottom vent to get the temp you desire.______________________________________________I love lamp..

If you are using a high temp dough, like TIPO 00, you can run in the 900s provided you didn't put any sugar in it. But you need to keep your stone well shielded so it doesn't get hotter than your dome temp. You have to work fast at those temps and you will run out of fuel in about an hour, so go longer at lower temps. Different doughs cook better at different temps.

And thank you all for the info.

I start wide open and adjust from there

Since I was burning my table with the pizza cooks, I moved to the oven and worked with dough that likes to be cooked at 550F. Then I bought the Roccbox and I'm back to the 100% Tipo 00.

On my XL for pizza cooks no daisy wheel I think my bottom vent is about 1.5" open, so that is probably a good starting point.XL BGE, CGS AR & spider, 36" SS Blackstone, SMOBOT - Flower Mound, TX

I thought this thread would have a lot more pictures...
If I recall I go DW on and fully open, then have to trim it back to stay at 550, bottom left wide open. But that's with no SMOBOT so im not even sure if it helps.

Like I said YMMV. Everyone’s a bit different as to their approach. I think as long as you keep the bottom at least half way closed you can tweek it from there. Just try it out and see

With my large, my bottom vent is about half open for 350-400 degrees with no daisy wheel. IMO, the daisy wheel is for low and slows. I also haven’t cleaned out my egg since last fall. It needs to be done!NW IOWA

I know there are no pics so didn’t happen, but... I just fired a couple 00 flour pies @700 LGBE with white truffle oil, sliced garlic, talleggio, and proscitto di parm. On a food high right now!

Not sure if you got it figured out on your rig but @GrillSgt this is holding 425 on my egg without the Daisy.
