New Way to do Pizza

[Rich Dahl]

Prior to the big event tonight I decided I was going to try something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Seeing we are going to use our Kettle Pizza for the first time (I’ve had the thing since April!) and would have all the pizza making stuff out I decided to try making cedar plank pizza first on the E320 gasser. Didn’t know at this high altitude and being NG which doesn’t burn quite as hot as propane if I could get enough heat to do it.
So here goes.

Guess that should be hot enough.

Got the planks smoking hot

Ready to go

On the grill

Done in ten minutes.

Was excellent even if the bottom crust wasn’t browned as much as I would have liked.
The Cedar gave the pizza a sweet smoky flavor



Thanks for stopping by
I’ll do the Kettle Pizza adventure on a separate thread.

Nice Pizzas & copper top!

Did much of the cedar flavor come though?

It was very nice Clint, not overpowering but a nice sweet Cedar flavor

Nice! I need to try this planked pizza on the gasser. Thanks for sharing Rich.

Planked pizza, what a great idea. They look really good Rich.

Thinking outside the box Rich, thinking outside the box, those are great looking Cedar Plank Pie's.

Unique pizza Rich. Looks delicious! If you're on NG now, if I understood correctly, and your gasser is set up for propane, you can drill out the propane orifices to compensate for the lower BTU levels in NG. Better yet, Weber might had NG orifices and you can simply replace them. Easier that obtaining the drill size for a do it yourself conversion. Just a thought.

I don't see the photos, either...

Keep on smokin',

Photos aren't showing up here either, but if you use the link Clint provided, you can view them. (thanks for the link Clint!)
Rich, I think I just might have to try this method this weekend! The 320 has been sitting covered up and neglected for quite a while now, this may be just the reason to show it some love this weekend!!
Thanks, and good looking pizza as well,
Tim

We want photos and we want them now

Don't know what happened but the pictures are back now, had to reload them.

 

[Bob Correll]

I really dig your pies Rich!
but I won't lie, cedar will never touch my food, ever.

A very clever cook. They look great, might have to give this a shot. Call it picnic pizzas

The gasser is a NG one from the factory, when we moved here this house had a NG outlet on the patio. I saw the NG E320 on Craig's list and snagged it. Sure is nice not having to get bottles filled all the time. We do have to use gas a lot because of the fire restrictions during the Summer which restricts charcoal grills. So far this Summer with the rains they haven't put the restrictions on yet.
