    Halo Versa 16 Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven

    Hey Joe, curious to know your recipe in percentages, flour type, proof times, etc. Maybe I can help. Usually cold dough is the issue with it having the rubber band effect. Also, how long is your dough in balls before you open them? Going by memory here, my dough for NY style: General Mills...

    Halo Versa 16 Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven

    I gotcha, Jim. Posted the bottom of one of my pies in the most recent cook from this past week in this clip at the end: (EDIT! -- I hope it's OK to direct to Instagram. I will remove this post promptly if not! I don't have a photo of the bottom of one of my Versa 16-cooked pies, only clips...

    Halo Versa 16 Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven

    Hope y'all don't mind me bumping this thread. I picked up a Versa 16 in September and I absolutely love it. New York style pizza is my favorite style and this oven is an absolute beast at getting the job done.

    I got tired of trying to find an 18" WSM and picked up a cheapie 16" bullet smoker

    Welp. The door latch broke on the second use with this smoker. Just now getting around to posting about it. I wish I could find a cheap, used 18” WSM around here. I can’t justify paying its new obnoxious price lol. It’s now at the same price point the 22” was when I bought mine in 2017. I...

    Outdoor Pizza Oven Thread

    I'm going 100% by memory here without looking and admittedly being too lazy to google, but I forgot to mention that the all-trumps flour is something like 14.2 or 14.7% protein. I think KA bread flour is 12.7%? But again, relying on memory. The weird thing about all-trumps is that you barely...

    I got tired of trying to find an 18" WSM and picked up a cheapie 16" bullet smoker

    This was from the burn-off of the factory residues/oils/etc. with old pork sausage and old country ham that I tossed. Sloppily added a gasket to the door, which helped, because zero smoke leaked there! Heavy smoke leaked from the lid, but the gasket was too thick. Lots of condensation spilled...

    Outdoor Pizza Oven Thread

    @Rich G -- Whoops! I meant to add the flour type in the post. I like using bread flour the best (King Arthur brand). I would place 00 flour on the same pedestal, but it's difficult to find. I live in a rural, small area. Closest retailer that sells 00 flour is about an hour away (Kroger). I...

    Outdoor Pizza Oven Thread

    I thought a thread dedicated to outdoor pizza oven pies would be a pretty fun addition to TVWBB! Whether you throw them down on your kettle, Ooni or something else. I got hooked to making pizza a couple of years ago. I've made a ton of them in my crappy home oven, and since December I've made a...

    I got tired of trying to find an 18" WSM and picked up a cheapie 16" bullet smoker

    Two things surprised me, in a negative way: 1.) the lid sits over top of the lip instead of 'inside', which might be an issue of condensation spilling out, and 2.) the water pan is freakishly shallow. I usually run a dry, foiled pan in the WSM, so not sure how it will go with this bullet...

    I got tired of trying to find an 18" WSM and picked up a cheapie 16" bullet smoker

    I bought my 22" WSM five years ago. I absolutely love it, but these days I mostly use it for big cooks when I'm hosting a large party or catering. It is such a charcoal hog, and because of the price of charcoal these days, I rarely use it for small cooks unless it is an overnight cook when I...

    Who cooks better than a BBQ restaurant?

    I will try other people's small batch barbecue all day long, no question, and it's usually awesome, but that's as it pertains to other people with a BBQ passion as a hobby and not selling it commercially. I never go out to a BBQ restaurant, ever. I get questions on Instagram from people who...

    Cuban pork sandwich

    Looks delicious! I see you are getting prepped for that new season of Dexter, as well! "Tonight's the night." (Well, on November 7th hahaha.)

    Smoke ring from yesterday's brisket

    I started with about 45 pounds of raw brisket (pre-trimmed/pre-cook) for an event yesterday. Everything turned out well; I know the smoke ring love is rooted in purely aesthetics, but I can't help but love seeing it. Best part about doing these events with so much brisket is taking the fat...

    Show us your charcoal inventory/stash

    Some of you guys have an epic collection of charcoal. I had about 20 bags back in 2018. As of today I have about two and a half bags. :LOL: There have been zero decent sales the last couple of years in my neck of the woods. Biggest one was two 20-lb. bags (twin packs) of Kingsford for $16.88...

    Amount of brisket for 20 lbs. of cooked product?

    Thanks, everybody. I went to Sam's Club on Friday morning; biggest brisket they had was a few a little over 18 lbs. I bought an 18.45 lb'er, a 15.28 lb'er and then grabbed a 11.78 lb'er. Cooked two of them overnight in the 22.5" WSM on Friday night; they both finished up between 11am-2pm. I...

    Amount of brisket for 20 lbs. of cooked product?

    Hello to my TVWBB friends, It's that time of year again. I've been called upon to cater for another event. Y'all were instrumental in helping me out last year, and I am eternally grateful. I've been asked to throw down 20 lbs. of brisket for an event this Sunday. My burning question: do you...

    RIP: Fran Allingham

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Chris. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I know it is the natural order of life, but still. I wish you much peace, brother.

    Chicken wing sales for the Super Bowl in your neck of the woods?

    Hey, my brothers and sisters of the Weber world, thought I'd chime in and ask the question above despite not being a technical barbecue question. I ran a quick search to see if this has been posted yet, but didn't see anything so here goes. Any grocery chains running decent wing sales this year...

    Nice! Next one I'll check out. Sounds interesting from the reviews I just quickly perused on Amazon.
