Using KettlePizza and First Recipe - Ace Hardware 

I got a Weber Kettle for my 50th birthday. I’m 62 now and my son got me the Kettle Pizza for Christmas. I can’t wait to do my first pizza on it.

I don't even have a KettlePizza for my Weber but I watch these videos just for Chef Jason. He's knowledgeable and enjoyable to watch - always keeping the energy level up. Hopefully Ace compensates him accordingly because he is a top-notch brand ambassador and most definitely increases sales.

For some reason this guy reminds me of Billy Mays. Long live Billy mays

This man KNOWS what he is talking about... Bravo Sir... Bravo... Love this video...

Great tutorial, hit all the marks. The finished pizza you did looked perfect. Going to replicate this tonight.

What an excellent video! Thank you for the walkthrough

you just taught me what i needd to know about my oven. oneofthe best instructive vids i have seen, and i have seen loads and loads.confident to proceed

great video, i got one for mothers day, cant wait to use mine

Great job!!! Very informative.

Great video. I can’t wait to try my pizza kettle🍕🍕

Love the idea of turning the grill upside down for easy access

awesome tutorial builds confidence!! thanks 🔥

great detail! Thank you

Great tutorial thank you!

Thanks for this video! I have one of the older Performer grills that have a metal frame and table and use a 10-pound refillable propane tank to ignite the charcoal (a 20 lb. tank won’t fit because the charcoal bin is in the way). Newer models have the plastic table and use disposable one pound bottles. I also have the new Kettle Pizza ProGrate and tombstone that has crescent-shaped openings on the sides and back for charcoal/wood baskets. I can start the two side baskets, slide them to the side and take some charcoal and place it in the rear basket that comes with the set. Pile more charcoal on top of the lit briquettes and top with hardwood. I can’t wait for better weather to try it out.

That looked great.

Excellent tip on flipping the grate upside down.

Thanks for the steps! Keep it up. Team weber!

This guy is awesome!!!!!! Subbed

nice job

thanks Jason, appreciate the tutorial !

MIne is on it's way! Thank you for the detailed video......

This is awesome! I definitely need to get one of these Kettle Pizza kits for my Weber. I have cooked all sorts of things on my Weber including an amazing smoked brisket that I did for Mother's Day as well as cast-iron brownies and other more traditional grill food. I am most excited about using the grill for things other than burgers and dogs.

Great explanation and tips. Thanks

Bravo!

Every hardware stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, Costco, etc) should have a guy doing this demo on weekends during spring/early summer. The Kettlepizza rig, Weber grills would sell like hotcakes.

i like it !!!

Thanks.

Great video, considering buying on of these. Next time do your chimney on the grate below so you don't get ash all over your cooking surface. I use cardboard in my chimney sometimes when I havent got the fire starters so there's quite a bit of ash sometimes.

Cool and Hi from Michigan / Great Lakes ACE Hardware, is my Helpful Hardware Store • White Lake, Michigan 🚂

Telling my wife I want this accessory for Christmas haha

OK. I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong. When I added the wood chunks and they started to burn the temperature took off. I made a veggie pizza (missed my Johnsonville "sweet" Italian sausage), but I had leftover asparagus, zucchini and mushrooms. Blanched the asparagus and zucchini and added some olive oil to the sliced fresh mushrooms. Used drained chopped canned tomato with 3 cloves off garlic and dried oregano (not enough of either) along with capers to make a sauce. Added fresh mozzarella chunks on top. Topped the finished pizza with fresh basil from the herb garden. The finished pizza needed salt to bring up the flavor, but the crust was nicely done in the middle and had some char on one side. Wifey doesn't distinguish char from burned so I couldn't go crazy. I forgot to put the pizza on the paddle up toward the top of the oven before pulling it out so it should have been more finished on top. She thought it was bland, but it was healthy and I liked it. I use James McNairs pizza dough recipe, but I use bread flour and reduce the yeast because I like a thin crust better than a bready crust. Did miss my sausage and I never really liked pepperoni on pizza even though that is supposed to be the most popular topping. I think using the Kettle Pizza oven will take some practice to figure out, but it turned out well for only my second try. Won't comment on the first try other than it took a half hour to cook. About 7 or 8 minutes this time.

I am very picky on how videos are done. You nailed it no useless talking just facts and it looks like a good pizza!

Great video. Doing our first one tonight. Ill let you know if mine come out as well.

Good video. Literally convinced this stingy guy to buy a deluxe weber and the kettle pizza attachment. I am a hard core Neapolitan pizza nerd and don't have time to build my mud oven in my new house, so this is my plan B. Thanks

Looks like the lid vent handle got melted. lol. Thanks for the vid!

It looks like you had the same issue as some posts iv seen on the internet and that is that vent handle melted on a pizza you did before am I wrong

Dude i just got my 22inch one touch webber system in deep ocean blue making pizza on it last night i noted my rubber handle on the airflow damper was moving sure nough it was so hot it melted off but I feel a lot better seeing your lid and damper has done the same thing lol pizzas came out delicious we even made a dessert pizza 🍕 it was so delicious 😋

Please restock these in Florida.

I have the same charcoal/wood set-up and I have tried several times and I cannot get the temp up to 700. What is the problem. thanks

How long did take for stone to warm up?

This was an excellent video! Where can I get post oak chunks like that?

Great video! However, it looks like the plastic on the Daisy Wheel melted on your lid. People beware if you have a performer. That plastic will melt on the tab and onto your lid. Instructions for the KettlePizza does also warn you of this. It also warns about the standoffs for the lid holder as well.

Great video. Tried mine tonight. I noticed your plastic grip is melted off on the vent...

What was the Temperature on this when you put the Pizza in??? I never heard you say or show what the Temp was.

What was the temperature during the pizza cooking? I want that Kettlepizza!

@12:06 pro tip: let the pizza set for 2 to 3 minutes. Let that chesse and toppings stick and then cut it I recommend the Oxo pizza cuter btw

So... main complaint with the Kettle Pizza is that the right side handle (as your're looking at it) BARELY clears the stock Weber Performer table (you can see it in the video). If you make a custom table it will not clear. It's a quick fix, change it out with 1/4 x 2in or smaller bolts. I chose to remove both handles... that said for the price of the Kettle Pizza they really should have though that part through!

Nice to see a BBQ cooked pizza that doesn't have giant black charred edges. Most of the demonstrations on RU-vid seem to overdo pizza for my tastes.

Does it fit on a Rec Tec Bullseye?

I just got one of these at a garage sale. Looks fun but I am wondering why you used a wooden peel and then changed to a metal one.

In preventing the melting of the rubber handle of the airflow damper...wouldn’t it be an idea to rotate the lid at least 90 degrees or so?

Don't do your chimney on the cooking grate as it will warp over time under the combination of weight and extreme high heat. The right way to do it is to remove the cooking grate and place the chimney on the charcoal grate.

When did you close the top vent???? thats very important... and how long did your wood last? could you have made 2 or 3?

Does anybody make one of these for the 26"Weber?

Guy Fierri called he wants his voice back

Guy sounds like billy mayes

You said polenta then you said cornmeal... Both?

How hot were you able to get that thing? No way it got up to 8-900°

This seems really expensive for a strip of thin stainless steel with some handles and a synthetic pizza stone.

Will that kind of hear ruin the performer?

Never use a charcoal grill indoors. They emit s ton of CO. He should have addressed this.

Not at easy as it looks. Need a bag of charcoal and it's still hard to get the stone and oven as hot as it's supposed to be. More cost effective to go to a wood fired pizza place and buy a pizza. I'm a pretty good cook and I can follow instructions, and I will keep trying. It's only 95 degrees outside this afternoon so this is fun. Will try to smoke a pork shoulder sometime. Seems easier for me to keep this between 200 and 300 degrees than get it to the advertised pizza temperature.

Not sure why it cost between $175-$200

I think he has the same dealer as Guy Fierre

11:18 Leoparding... Where?

Why don't you just sit the kettle pizza on the grate????? LoL Am I missing something?

Why are you YELLING in this video? LOL We can hear you loud and clear... Thank you so much for sharing this GREAT video.

Pro tip, put the cheese on first then the sauce and it will keep the crust crispy whereas the sauce first makes a flimsy crust.

tumbs down for me wouldnt sample his own product

If only he knew the correct product name...

Why don't just show the steps and talk less? I would get fainted in I talk this much just for a yt video.

This guy talks really loud.

Wood fired bread pudding?! Eww.

Kingsford is the worst

This thing is useless. I can get great results just on a pizza stone

CALM DOWN!!!!! I will never listen to someone that sounds like that guy!!!

Why is he shouting ?

Why are you shouting?

Very good presentation but I found my self trying to clear my throat several times during your presentation because of your crackly voice, I wasn’t too fond on how fast you spoke, it’s like you were in a hurry. Sorry I am only trying to give you some constructive criticism, but was a good presentation, I personally have the Onlyfire pizza and rotisserie ring.
