Pizza on the SmokeFire

[Indy]

That does look pretty darn tasty.

I think it depends on how you like your pizza done and whether you want to make them from scratch or not. If you are okay with a melted top only or minimum color or medium crust, the SF will rock with proper preheating and a pizza stone as you have shown. If you want more browning on top without charring the crust, especially if it is cracker crust, you may want to google "The mighty pizza stone". It is basically an adjustable pizza stone to help control the stone temp. A stainless steel pizza grill cover helps to produce a darker top as well. The same guy who produced the adjustable pizza stone had a really nice stainless steel cover with a chimney and adjustable pizza stone on the top of the cover for sale. That worked really well, but it didn't allow my Summit (670) to close fully. It would be perfect for a large kettle, and I don't know how it would fit on the SF. Actually, I am not sure they even make the cover any longer, but there are others out there.

I gave up and bought a wood fire pizza oven last year from WPPO but the wonky door design has lead me to replacing it with an ooni-pro this year. For me it is efficiency as I make a LOT of pizza and flat breads over the summer with all the kids from the family over almost every weekend to use the pool. Best time of the year, though, outdoor cooking AND family!

I'll have to look into a diffuser - or make use of the top shelf w/ reflector (pan). The stone I use is from https://castelegance.com/ - does really well, and whenever a deep clean is needed I just pop it into the oven on clean setting. Comes out virtually new. ooni-pro is the way to go if you're making a LOT

Yeah, that's what I was thinking: 3-4 minute cooks at 675-750 still allows me to make 10 or so 16" pizzas in an afternoon and still have most of the time to socialize. In the winter, when I couldn't access my grills, I started using our Breville Smart Oven for flatbreads. It put out a pretty decent product in about 6-8 minutes although you had to move it from bottom to top at the half way point to get some decent browning going on the top. It's all pizza though so its all tasty and fine!

Yes sir. Did one yesterday. Put the dough on for 6 minutes on 450. Next time I'll do lower heat for that. After that got it off filled it and put it back till the cheese melted. Was really tasty!

Is that on a stone? Any suggestions on a stone

I don't remember lol did both with and without stone on the smokefire. Nowadays I have the pizza attachment for my kamado.

I have a pizza steel that I have used on my Genesis quite a few times and it works great. I will have to try on the smoke fire one of these days

Nice! Let me know how you like it. Don’t have an Ooni but have been eyeballing them and trying to decide if should pull the trigger on one.

Really hard to beat pizza cooked at 450c

 

[Bruno]

Been looking at those as well. Look forward to your thoughts.

4 minutes to cook last night, heated the stone for 15 minutes before adding the pizza at 600F though, very pleased with it.
