A total fail!
So I started with this equipment, I bought it a couple weeks ago and have been itchinh to use it!!!
I thought I was doing right by following what I've seen others doing online but I obviously got a bit carried away with the charcoal.
I ended up with a stone so hot the corn mill I put down caught on fire! So I had a heat issue, then there was the pizza itself. I tried a pre-made thin crust which stuck like super glue on the chopping block, so I couldn't get it off to even put it on the cooking stone. The pizza peel I bought won't stay folded out and keeps swinging back pinching my hand. So I ended up using this great hot fire for cooking a couple nice thick ribeyes! So far I'm about $300 into making a pizza...
What did I learned? First use less charcoal and set up a ring for an indirect cooking method. When rolling out dough use oil on the chopping block so the dough won't stick. And I'm going to mod the pizza peel I have not to suck so much!
