My kettle pizza serious eats kit is arriving soon and in anticipation of this great day I've read through the many posts people have using this product. Thank you! My questions are (there seem to be conflicting arguments for all of these):
1) do you put your charcoal in the u shape and put zero charcoal under the majority of the stone? some people seem to just back it up on one side, others seem to put some under the cooking stone. how much charcoal do you use? I assume i'll use KBB.
2) do you preheat the stone in the oven or heat it when you dump the charcoal? how long do you wait for the kettle pizza to come up to temp?
3) do you put the wood on when assembling the pizza kettle or wait for it to come up to temp with the charcoal and then add the wood? my concern is it would burn off the fuel while waiting for the stone to come up to temp? I have some oak chunks I bought in bulk. they aren't logs per se, but fairly large. I would think they'd mostly burn off pretty quickly though.
4) when you add wood do you simply add it to the back or everywhere?
any tips would be much appreciated!
