My fellow Eggers... So sorry I have missed so many great post. Today was day number 20 straight 12 hr days in a row after being layed off for a month. All I have done for the last three weeks is sleep and work. I no have a whole two days off and the private party is on!! :woohoo: I did down load off line a few, how shall we say, controversonal threads at work and hate to see the devision going on. I will leave my personal feeling out as I have been "enjoying" my time off this afternoon to much BUT really hope the Old Gard and Newbees can let things lay and get back to idle banter and cooks. Really pained me to see "friends" on both sides of the line.
Enough Hillary Clinton ( :blink: ). On with the cook.
For all the cooks I have done pizza is a flop for me. After much listening to those who know much more than me I realized temp was the problem. I searched old threads and 425-500 seamed to be the awnser on a raised platform of some kind.
My wife made the sauce from scratch using th following ingredients.

The crust AND the bread sticks were Pillsberry. The sticks were cut in slices and brushed with EVOO and La Bomba.

Next up was the Za. Pepproni and cheese. 400-425 on inverted platesetter and raised grill set up curtesy of Mike (Thanks buddy) with pizza stone on top.

Will get back to the forum in the days to come. Just really tired of acid suits and getting up at 2:15 in the mornings. Hope everyone is well and still keeping those in need in my prayers.

    That looks amazing. Is it an advantage to get your pizza stone up as high as possible? I could fabricate just about anything I would need, I'm just wondering what is optimal. Did you make your own crust from scratch?

    Steve,I'm your junkie threw your dealers!! :laugh: Really appreciate the Bomb! Your a good man and I try to settle up threw your dealers. Just don't seem right the way it comes but is MUCH appreciated! If wife could take the heat in the spicey would have added a lot more La Bomba to sticks and the pizza. Really glad to have a few off and hope to catch up with post. Hope the spring thaw comes soon!! :whistle:

    Harley, I was 1/2 way replying to your chicken post and the wife wanted my attention. Been working for three weeks so she trumps you!! :laugh: Also saw your original post. Welcome. By your forum name assume you ride. Have an 04 04 FXST punched, ported and cammed my-self. I have done several differant cookes on the Egg but pizza is something I have not gotten down... till now. 4OO pluse temp PLUSE getting the pizza stone up as high in dome BUT still letting air flow did the trick. What the pic didn't show was the burned bread sticks. Anything closer than 1/2 inch to th edge of stone burned at these temps.

    Wife picked up 4 cans of Tony's last week for a buck each. If you need any OR any one else needs some heck the shipping cost more than the Tony's!

    Thanks for the info. I'll have to try a pizza. Do not have a harley. I have a dog named harley. He came with that name due to the fact that he was adopted.

    Dear Beli it is SO GOOD TO HAVE SOME TIME OFF!! Have really missed the forum and pics. Problem is I am so far behind on the farm it will take several weeks to catch up. Down to my last two square bails of horse hay and got to go get and stack 75 of them tomorrow. Hope you send some of your warm weather my way soon. Im tired of ridding to work in sub 30 degree weather everyday! :blink:
