So I'm excited to see what I can create with my pizza set up - Im hoping the products are worth the costs because when you add up the cost on the stones, kettle ring, additional grates and peels- it all gets pretty costly rather quick! I've promised the wife that this will be worth the expense if we can do this at home and use it for entertaining.
There is a couple of things that I need some clarification from those that know - how many pounds for coal and wood are people using to cook a coupe pies? Especially when people are preheating the stones to 600 degrees for 30-60 minutes prior to the pies going in? Seems to me that a full chimney of hot coal using the minion method is needed with a few logs! So that would be around 5 pounds of coal(?).
Lastly, any good ways to season the stones? I read about Canola oil and baking the stones to help set the seasoning. Any experience with that technique?
Thanks to those that can add some thoughts and share their experiences!
Cheers!
Andy
