Excellent Set up for Pizza in the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill and Slow N Sear low Profile.

November 20, 2017, 04:05 PM

I have been tinkering around with set up for pizza and understood it's best to have the pizza close to the lid to replicate the narrow space of a pizza oven to be hot over the top for browning and the stone not be too hot for the crust. I recently bought a Slow N Sear for the grill and stumbled upon this excellent set up for pizza. The Slow N Sear low profile fits on the top grate with the Weber expansion rack and the lid closes just fine. With the stone on the rack it sits a few inches under the lid and the coals off to the side get the high heat nice and close over the top of the Pizza. with about 1/2 a chimney of charcoal I had a lid temp on the dial of about 550 or 600 and the stone around 450 or so with an IR gun. I turned the pizza 2-3 times during the cook after the crust set a bit and the thin crust pizza turned out perfect. Pizza cooked in about 7 minutes or so. I don't believe that's too much heat for the lid or woven stainless gasket and nothing looked odd after the cook.

LOVE pizza ON MY WSCGC. I do more deep dishes these days, but the Summit has no problems at that high temp.

That looks fantastic! I've not done deep dish in it yet and in the oven I'm more used to lower temps for deep dish. I see no heat diffuser in there, the coals down low and am curious at what temp you saw on the grate there. So far I am really impressed at all the different well controlled set ups I can do in just the one grill/ smoker no matter the weather.

Yep, one chimney full down low, no diverter plate, running at 400 to 425 for about 30 minutes. Comes out excellent.
