Nice going! I’ve watched dozens of videos to try to figure out how to get the wood up to the pizza stone level. What kind of rings did you use to support the basket?
I got a similar pizza adapter and i am thinking of welding a similarly cut 4mm stainless steel plate to create a proper oven with hot air circulation under the plate back to front.
I mean...most of the links do. I can't control what people make and sell or not. They haven't said they quit making them, but they stopped making them a while ago and won't tell me when they will be getting more.
@@crustnq lol I understand that, I wasn't being a dick, just now found the video looking into this and noticed that none of the links go to the stuff you showed in this video... Also couldn't even find the product at all on the website or anywhere else for the heat deflector which I found super weird.
@@crustnq I was wondering if you modified the cooking grate yourself (so you could attach the baskets) or if you were able to find one on-line that was pre-cut to hold the baskets. Also, have you had a chance to see how the LavaLock worked as a heat shield? I wonder if the handles would interfere with the Weber lid. Thanks for all your help on this. I'll be putting my rig together soon.
Love this video, especially the top stone. As another commented, i went to purchase the BBQ Dragon stone and neither the BBQ Dragon nor amazon have the stone.Drat!
I have the "Only Fire" , version of the pizza kit. They include little clips that act as risers for the grate so it's level with the top lip of the kettle. No need to remove part of the grate to access the coals, just turn it upside down and let the grate flap hang straight down, this way you can easily add more coal or wood. I don't use any coal baskets or slow n sear, I just bank the coals to the back. For the top heat deflector I use the Hunsacker carbon steel griddle because it's the same diameter as the kettle and traps more of the heat, convecting it closer to the pizza. The kettle lid goes on top of that , but you almost don't even need it. I bought the Only Fire because it also included a rotisserie kit that gets quite a lot of use, ( more than the pizza). Thanksgiving day turkey comes out amazing on the rotisserie. Hands down my favorite Weber accessory.
First cook on my Onlyfire pizza unit Monday. Love it. I used a full chimney of lit B&B lump oak charcoal and added some hickory and oak chunks and more unlit charcoal. Used a small leaf blower to really stoke the fire and easily got the temp up very quickly.
I replicated your modification of the grille surface by incorporating the charcoal basket and found it to be a significant improvement. Thanks for sharing your modifications and charcoal setup!
Love the video...very helpful indeed. Just one suggestion...at about the 5 minute mark you say something like "you can use any kind of wood here" for the flame at the back of the grill. I would clarify that statement, for any novice that may not know that you are referring to hardwoods suitable for cooking/smoking etc. Pine, redwood and others that are full of resin, pressure treated, plywood etc. are NOT good choices. Obvious to most but, there's a reason the world is covered with warning labels. Keep up the good work! Thanks
I guess you can't always assume people are going to use the right thing. I would hope in the bbq/grilling community, people would understand that. Thanks for the comment.
I was looking for top diffuser ideas to help get the top of the pizza done better, this looks perfect. Thanks for the tip! Ordering a bbq dragon stone now.
Excellent Video... Thank you for sharing this video NOTE: The background noise/music was a little too LOUD, making it hard to HEAR YOU. We don't need background noise/music... We just want to HEAR you TALK...
That top staone is interesting! Up to now I used a second grill with a second pizza stone on top of the ring, as a heat reflector and cover the whole thing with aluminum foil. It works, but this is more elegant for sure!
Nice post. I too use kettlepizza to make my pizzas with my weber and I have putting my fire box to the right of the unit. In doing so the fire goes to the side so I can observe the pizza getting cooked better and I can also feed the fire box with fuel easily if needed. Works well for me.
