Tips for High Temp (Pizza etc.)

Recommended Posts

I am new to the "club".  Have had my 32BB for about a year.  When making pizzas on the top rack with the KK pizza stone what dome temp can I expect?  How about surface temp of the stone?  Any other tips/tricks other than full basket of high quality lump and open vents?  Thank you in advance.  My wife says I have an unhealthy obsession with this thing - although she does love the food!

You will likely have to do some experimenting to get things dialed in, which should be a pleasurable task in itself. I started out with a round cordierite stone (not the KK stone), aiming for 700°F, which was what worked on my previous rig. 700° was too hot, so I went to 600°F. The tops were burning before the bottom crust was done, so I switched to a 1/4" steel. The bottoms burned before the tops were done. Then I tried with the stone on top of the steel-success! 600° for about 5 minutes. I don't even have to turn them. I have a 21"KK, so YMMV. There are lots of more experienced experts here who will have more tips, and there is for sure more than one path to pizza nirvana.
