So... I could get the Kettle Pizza Deluxe kit which includes a stone and peel delivered direct from the Kettle Pizza site via FedEx Home Delivery for $197.40. Same kit is $215.04 thru Amazon delivered (I am not Prime).
However, I am not thrilled with the design: 1) The lid sits atop the Kettle Pizza ring and is therefor too high allowing all the heat to ride up there. 2) The stone sits on the grate so it is directly heated by the charcoal/wood which can cook the bottom faster that the top. 3) The heat/smoke travels all around the stone not directing heat over the pie to cook the top.
Or... I could get a Weber Original Charcoal Pizza Oven (Weber Part No 6520) from Amazon.de (German) and have it delivered UPS for $235.09.
I like the design much better: 1) The lid is low directing heat over the pie. 2) the lid opens allowing a peel to easily get under the pie. 3) The stone is protected from direct heat by a "bowl" built into the oven which should allow the top to "catch up" to the heat on the stone. 4) Vents in the rear of the oven direct heat/smoke over the pie and under the stone from one place.
To me, it's worth the $20.05 - $37.69 to buy Weber's design (though without a peel). The actual oven cost $170 once the exchange rate is applied which I believe is about $20 more than the price offered in the North and Northwest test markets but... shipping was killer. This thing is heavy and it went thru three countries to get here.
The worst part: it costs more than the OTS it sits on (including all OTG modifications I added). The best part: SWMBO agreed so...
I ordered the 9th, it shipped from Milan Italy on the 11th, went thru Koeln Germany (that's what UPS called the town of Köln I guess = Cologne in English), went thru Louisville and Montgomery, and delivered here to Huntspatch today. It's raining off and on so it will have to wait until this weekend to cook on it.
(This is why I am trying to figure out the pizza dough formulation.)
