First Pizza on Performer

[Steve Mattheis]

I'm cooking 3 pizzas using this setup: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...80069052/m/404101376

I'm going to put my pizza stone on top of my 3qt cast iron dutch oven to get it as high as I can to the lid. What temp should I try to maintain in the grill? Any suggestions? I have cooked pizzas on my 18" OTS and had a problem holding a high temp. I'm doing these tonight with the neighbors.

I missed this one. How'd they turn out Steve?

Yeah, I missed it too. How'd you like the "setup"?

The pizzas turned out very good. My wife made a Greek style with chopped tomato, green onion, garlic and oil as the base and topped it with chunks of feta, kalamata olives and mozzarella and I made just sausage, red onion and roasted red pepper. Unfortunately, my camera isn't working so no pictures this time but maybe next time.

I think the setup I used was really good but I struggled to get the temp past 425 degrees.Do you think that firebricks would be better than cast iron?

This morning I threw on an 8 lb brisket on my WSM. I had a lot of charcoal left from last night so I used that and only had to use a little fresh. Maybe I could borrow my neighbor's camera to get some pics of the cook today. Hopefully my brisket will turn out as good as my previous ones. With the brisket I am doing some of the famous Wolgast scored yukon gold potatoes. When the brisket is done I probab;y will still have some coals left so I will do a couple of fatties and for some reason I have a taste for some Spam.
