One of my favorite meals to cook is pizza. I bake nearly-politan pizzas with 24-hour fermented sourdough crust, homemade sauce, the whole shebang, and I love it. I use the pizza steel and broiler trick (1/2" steel plate preheated to 550+ and placed 3-4 inches beneath a hot broiler) and get a perfectly baked pizza in 3-4 minutes. Problem is now that it's warm/hot out the kitchen gets HOT when I bake pizzas. Potential solution? Do it on the grill.
I know the main problem with grills is that there's so much heat from below that it's hard to cook the top of the pizza evenly. I've seen the kettlepizza and it seems to have a decent reception on the pizza making forum but reception here seems lukewarm. Theoretically it seems like it may help solve the problems with gas grills and that jury rigging something with top stones, to reflect heat, etc.... would cost roughly the same.
What are people around here doing with their Weber Kettles to bake 2-4 minute Neapolitan style pizzas? It at least looks like you could get the base kettlepizza kit, a slow n sear (which I plan to get anyways), and a pizza stone and some minor fabrication add some sort of heat deflector to the top of the basic kit instead of shelling out $400 for the top of the like deal. That looks intriguing.
