Been well over a year since we made pizzas on the kettle pizza. We picked up a platinum kettle to be used as a dedicated pizza cooker. With the four point stance it’s very stable, which is something I really wanted because of the blast furnace heat I didn’t want any surprises’ with a three point stance kettle.
Also the two shelfs come in real handy.
I really forgot how to set up the kettle pizza for cooking pies. I did modify an old grate to use for it by cutting out the back six bars for refueling and cutting both handles off.
I started with a large full chimney with KBB and large chunks of western lump charcoal.
It wouldn’t get over 500 degrees so the first two pizzas took a while, then I remembered I used to add wood chunks. Threw about six med chunks of beach wood and that did the trick pegged the gauge. The third one came out much better.
Because these will be frozen for future meals we did the whole thing right after lunch so It was warm and we had plenty of light, instead of stumbling around in the dark.
