Friday night pizza

Hi all, figured I'd finally post something after only mostly reading here. This stone does a great job blocking a lot of the heat that's needed on top. So I came up with this setup after seeing what you guys do. It works well, getting plenty of smoke on the cheese, which is the way we like it. Takes about 8-10 minutes to cook.

Thanks for looking at these.

Wish I'd seen this last night. I did pizza as well but the bottom was a little toasty. Yours looks great. Your fire setup would have solved my problem I think. Mine was eadible but nothing to write home about.
 
Dwain, my pizzas were burning on the bottom before the cheese melted. The kettle pizza with the stone on top looks like the solution, but $142 is not in the cards any time soon. :)
 
Pizza looks great and the bottom of the crust is perfect! I like the idea of using the charcoal baskets to raise the pizza. I used to use the charcoal chamber from my WSM to raise the pizza pan off the grate. I think I like your idea better.
 
Nice cook and great technique for elevating the stone. You should've done this a few days ago and entered the pizza throwdown!

Great idea, pizza looks awesome, did you wait for the coals to come down in temp or did you hit it right at hot?

I filled the chimney with charcoal and waited for the top ones to look almost all white. Spread them out, dropped some more unlit briquettes, around the ring, then put it all together. Popped the lid on it, and let it get hot for about 25 - 30 minutes. Then made 3 pizzas in the next 30 minutes or so. Used two large pieces of hickory to get the cheese to taste nice and smokey (wife loves smoked gouda cheese from Costco).
 
I have the same stone. Use in my house oven and a couple times on the weber. What temps were you able to get on the stone and at the dome?

Mark, the dome never got above 350 measured with a Tel-Tru, didn't check the stone. Does work great in the oven at 500F.

Now that is good looking pizza with perfect crust. I like the way you used the coal grates and stone....I am going to have to try that method.
