    Introducing the Slow and Sear Pizza Oven

    Decided to fire up the kettle and SnS in pizza oven mode again. Works so good. Here's the set up:
    Full chimney of briquettes poured into the SnS once they ashed over. Let pizza stone warmup in grill 20 minutes with lid on and vents wide open, plus added oak logs on top of coal. Then added pizza, and cracked open the kettle opposite the fire and closed the top vent to get heat flowing over the pizza and out crack in front. Took about 5 minutes tops per pie. Delicious!

        Nice pizza pies Koy Schoppe ...

        That was a great idea the way you lifted the lid to add airflow and put that big chunk of wood on to increase the cooking temperature.👌

          I put the thermapen through the top vent and it maxed out at 570. Was getting some good heat!

          Creative... Getting 570° in a Weber kettle for that long is a feat!

            Hmmmmm - looks like I need to make pizza for Father's Day.

            Two questions Koy Schoppe - How long did you maintain that temp? How many pizzas could you do before adding more charcoal/wood?

              I only did two pizzas (it was just me and the kids), then shut down the kettle. I still have a full bank of coals in there. I think I could have done a lot more. I could easily keep adding logs to the back to cook for a lot longer.

                Nice job! One question, do you heat your stone on the direct or indirect side?

                  You might want to use 1 of the briquette baskets that came with you kettle under your pizza stone. Just a thought.👍

                  Yes it's a good idea to get some heat under the stone.

                Koy Schoppe Those photos shot between the rim and the lid lip of the kettle should go into the SnS Hall of Photo Fame. David Parrish

                They're beatiful.

                What a great idea for patio pizza. Congrats!

                  Only change I would make would be to raise the stone a bit. The grate and thus the stone is a little bit below the lip and my first pizza was a messy disaster (although still quite tasty) because I couldn't get the peel under it.

                  Also, meant to mention that i did rotate the pizzas during the cook. At the half way point and then some more at the end.

                  I have been debating on what I wanted for Father's Day this year and was trying to decide between the Pizzakettle with baking steel, or an Uuni 2s. I think I successfully scratched that itch last night and saved myself some serious dough .

                    Breadhead is it actually ok to use the parchment paper at 600+ degree temps in this setup? The roll I have in my pantry right now says safe to 420. Or is there another grade of paper out there? This is all new to me, so just checking.

                    Steve R. Worrying about any liability potential I'll say this. Try this at your own risk.😎

                    Having said that... I will say I've used parchment paper at 650° to 800° at least 50 times, being diligent to trim the paper so NONE of it is exposed to direct heat and I've NEVER had a problem.

                    I wonder if the SNS rotating grill grate would give that height needed for easier peel access?

                  After pizzas were done, it was movie time. In the pool! All around great night. It's 9:30am now and my kids are still sleeping!
