I agree with Bob, 100%. Parchment makes the transfer SO easy. And Leo.....the pizza looks really good. To get more heat on the top, have you tried "propping up" the kettle lid? I use a 3' long stainless skewer between the lid and the base. That way I can rock the lid towards the back of the...

Sorry, Ed.....it's already down to the point and a pound or two of the flat. I think I'm going to freeze the point until I fire up the smoker again. Burnt ends are in my future! Thanks for the compliment, JR.....I was really happy with how the brisket turned out. I don't know why I don't use...

Thanks for the encouragement, guys! I think I'm going to retire the hickory and try something like Pecan or Alder. I tried another piece today and the hickory flavor was just overpowering for the first couple of seconds. I'm also going to try stacking the heat on one side and see how that...

Well it's been a couple of years since I've smoked a brisket. It is probably one of my favorite pieces of meat to put on the smoker but at recent prices, I've been avoiding them. Well this past week I told my wife we needed to just bite the bullet and spring for a brisket. She agreed so we...

Chuck.....the crust photo was taken on the first pizza we cooked tonight. I was watching the fuel source and sort of panicked, knowing that I had another pizza to cook and some calzones that we'd made. It seemed as if the coal was burning way too fast and that it was going to exhaust itself way...

Chris....thank you so much. That link helped me greatly. From a fellow "Illinoisan" I appreciate it. (I'm a southern Illinoisan).

Chris, thank you for the information! I appreciate it. I panicked a little bit and took the first pizza off a little early. I was afraid that my fuel source was burning too quickly. The crust could easily have stayed on the grill for another 5 or more minutes but I wanted to get the second...

Oh....and I just tried to put some photos up on a different post but for some reason they didn't show up. Hopefully someone can help me figure out what I did wrong...

Man, Chuck.....that looks great! It seems I still have some work to do. I wanted one of the Kettle Pizza attachments but my wife did NOT agree with the price tag. I'll have one eventually but so far I'm winging it without one. The pizza is still tasty but I'd love to play with one of the Kettle...

Okay, I don't know what I did wrong on the photo uploads. If anyone can provide some advice I would appreciate it.

Okay guys on an earlier post I mentioned that I had some success at making pizza on a Weber Kettle without having one of the kettle pizza attachments. Well tonight we did a couple of more pizzas, (and some Calzones) and I did think about taking some photos this time. There is still room for...

Hi guys.... I've enjoyed this site for the past couple of years but just got around to signing up, today. I'm honestly impressed by the knowledge that can be found on this forum. Tonight I decided to try my hand at making a pizza on my 18.5" Weber kettle grill. I honestly didn't know this was...
