Pizza

So I got the parts from eBay to test things out. Some insulated bricks and a large aluminum disc.

Here is the basic setup:

And here is it with the lid on (from the kettle grill):

I let it heat up for about fifteen or twenty minutes before starting to cook.

Here is a pizza crust (gluten free) with one minute of cooking:

After toppings and two more minutes:

The bottom of the crust was nearly perfect, with blackened spots but not overly burnt. I meant to take a picture but we ate it all before I could. The top got brown but could use some more focused heat.

Here was a test of the temperatures; I’m pretty happy:

Finally, here is a video:

Things should improve when I insulate the chimney and also when I can control the exhaust to focus it on the top of the pizza more. Right now a lot comes out at the sides. I can throw something together to improve this with more insulated bricks but ultimately I think we can come up with a more elegant/permanent design.

Come eat pizza with us!
