I'm doing my 1st pies tonight and had a question: Do you pre-cook sausage and other meat items before putting on pie or do you let the egg do it all?

    Precook. The pie will only be in the Egg for 8-12 min at 500 degrees ... not enough time to cook meat items.

    wow..that was fast...thanks...another question. I plan on making some ABT's as an app before making the pies. Is it safe to add my pizza stone at about 350 dome temp and bring up another 100+ degrees?

    Pre-cook meats such as ground beef, bacon, and sausage... but not ham or pepperoni....some people like to steam various veggies like green peppers that will be real crunchy if you don't. Also, mushrooms will add alot of liquid to the top of the pizza if you don't steam them.

    I think I would put the stone in and cook the abt's indirect....it may not hurt it but I wouldn't take any chances....be sure not to spill or pour any cold liquids on the hot pizza stone as it will crack it....also, let the stone maintain your cooking temp for half an hour or so before you put the pizza on it....to you have a pizza peel to lift the pie with ?

    One little trick to do with pepperoni is to put it on a plate and have paper towels above and below...then nuke it for 15 sec or so...this will heat it up but not really cook it..and it will allow some of the fat to melt.

    A little trick I do ...

    I cook mine with the egg wide open...pizzas cook in 3-4 mins so toppings need to be cooked and at room temp..

    If you have a BGE stone, you should be fine to add it at 350. Just be sure to allow it 30 minutes or so to come up to temp. You don't want to put your pie on a cold stone.
