Thanks to everyone for the advice. Bob, I will try proping the lid and using lump to get the temp up, thanks. I might have to start hiking more to offset my pizza trials!

Does anyone par-cook the dough first?

This was my first attempt at pizza, here is the setup: So I had several problems, and am looking for advice. 1.The temp only got to 400 with 1 full chimney. I was hoping for 600 or so. Should I just use more Kingsford or switch to lump? 2. I checked it after 10 min and it looked like a...

I followed the same recipe last night. The turkey (butterball) came out great, though the legs were a little dry and tough. Did you also do the "gravy" in his recipe? I tried it and did not like it at all. It seemed like lightly seasoned and smoky water. Did I screw that up somehow?

Now I know what to do with a sirloin roast. Roast beef sammies are in my near future.

Yeah, the food looks great, but that pic of the coals afire with a perfectly clean and oiled grate makes me happy (biscuits too of course).

Thanks Jim, great video. I love those guys. I was skeptical of "wasting" that much salt on a potato but after watching the video I'm definitely going to try it. Also, their chicken looked a little too perfect, mine never look that amazing, something to strive for.

I love everything on that plate. Is worst sauce a recipe, or just some worcestershire (had to look up the spelling).

That is a great idea and I will be trying it soon. Are people using a pork loin or tenderloin (looked like Mixon used a tenderloin). I have never cooked a pork loin, is it as good?

I ordered the new performer platinum from Amazon recently (after checking CL for several weeks) and it arrived today as I was walking out the door to leave town for 4 days, very upsetting. I can't wait to fire it up when I get back, guess I have some time to decide on what the first cook will be.

Where do you buy firebricks?

I'm starving now (though I just ate)

Sorry Tom, you are absolutely right, the $307 model doesn't have gas assist, thanks for pointing that out. I assumed it did because it was more expensive than usual. I definitely want the gas.

Both models have gas assist, but there is a $42 difference for some reason, maybe because one is the new 2013 model, not sure

Where did you get the basket?

Firstly, thanks to all of you who weighed in about my BGE vs Performer post. Due to that I've decided to go with the Performer. I have been checking Amazon and have seen many different models and prices of Performers. There is a new model (1481001) that is going for $349.00, about $20 more...

Due to this forum I have started grilling chuck eyes and love them. I just don't understand why they are so cheap, maybe because they aren't as well known. Hope it stays that way.

The brats look great, why the grill grates though? Do they change the cooking experience?

Thanks to everyone for the good info. So far I love the WSM for smoking, and am content with it. What I'm looking for is a high-heat steak machine (pork tenderloin, rack o lamb, etc) and a good indirect cooker for poultry and such. The BGE sounded good due to the 700 deg ability, but if most...

What gives Primo the advantage?
