Well, I fired up my KP for the first time in a while tonight and clearly, I need to brush up my method. I used a full chimney of RO lump, and had a half circle of RO in the kettle, along with 5 large chunks of various smoke woods (mesquite, pecan, cherry). The lid therm on the Performer was registering over 550 and the KP therm was showing right around 600. With all that lit and unlit charcoal in the grill, some of it was under the stone. After 25 minutes or so, that thing was screaming hot and burned the crust almost instantly. I'll chock this one up to experience and remember the lesson next time. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad pizza. I almost disproved that theory tonight. At least from above, the pizza looked good.
First pie ready to go:
And we're cooking! This is after I turned it - knew the crust was burning on at least one corner, so tried to keep part of it off the stone.
Burnt to a crisp on the bottom:
But not looking too shabby from above:
After Photobucket's surprise 'F U' this morning, I tried uploading pics to Flickr. I had an account many moons ago, but never did much with it. Seems to be pretty easy to use for posting pics on sites like this.
