    Kettlepizza?

    So while I have no doubt I am missing it, I did spend quite some time reviewing the site and forums for some mention of this kettlepizza and had no luck. Apologies to all if I missed it. Just curious if anyone has tried this thing? Online reviews seem solid but I can't find a review here. Seems there are several different versions or levels of the Kettlepizza, which uses your kettle grill to turn out some allegedly good pies. I've been grilling pizzas for over 20 years now and am always keeping an eye out for new products. I also have had the CampChef pizza top and camp stove for quite some time, but it doesn't seem to hold the higher temp anymore...and I digress. Has anyone played with this Kettlepizza contraption? Is it worth it? Thank you all.

      Welcome to The Pit.

      Kenji Lopez-Alt is well respected around here, and here is a link to his take. If you go to Serious Eats and search for Kettlepizza, there are a number of articles.

      We tested the KettlePizza insert back in 2010 when it first came out and were not extremely impressed with the results. Since that early look, the inventor, Al Contarino has jumped into the conversation to let us know that he's come up with a new and improved model that should address many of the problems we had with the old one. We were all too happy to give the new model another shot. Here's how it went down.

        I was given a Pizzaque which is a very similar product. While it's not the same as a more capable pizza oven, it's a lot of fun and the pizza is good.

          It is pictures of cooks like these that had me try a Papa Murph's on my Pellet grill.

            Joey877 I am not sure what you have in your kettle arsenal, but I've made some really really good "wood fired" pizza on my Weber Performer, without a Kettle Pizza, by following the directions over at SNSgrills.com:

            Get a delicious wood-fired pizza at home using your kettle and Slow ‘N Sear.


            And Meathead has some good instructions here:



            I use a Lodge cast iron pizza pan instead of a stone (we had one long ago, and I cracked it!). I also elevate my pizza using a Hover Grill (made by the Kettle Pizza folk). By cracking the lid the way the SNS folk discuss, I can get the dome thermometer temperature up between 500 and 600 degrees, and a pizza takes 8-10 minutes tops, rotating it a quarter turn every couple of minutes.

              Spinaker I may need to re-season mine, as I got it up well over 700 degrees before taking the pizza out to the SNS Kamado last time. I scorched the crust on the first pizza before I got the cooker down to 600 degrees. We just ate the toppings off that pizza...
