That pizza looks amazing! Would you please share your recipe for the crust and sauce? Thanks a million.

Anon, in this post I show the hole in the lid doesn't reduce the heat.

You could prop the lid, it would be annoying to do it 20 times during a party though. I can keep the lid open and it maintains the heat. Got graphs and all.

Agreed, lifting the lid kills the heat. I would also think that whacking a ginormous hole in the lid would accomplish same.

What about propping the lid up just enough to slide a pizza in the kettle? The vent serves as an observation port. Too easy for science?

Thanks!

Lifting the lid to put on a pizza kills the heat. The door minimizes heat loss while placing a pie on the blazing hot surface. That opening should be as small as possible to maintain the heat.

You can find extra grills almost every trash day.

Boy, that pie just leaps off the screen! Makes me want to run out and buy a flower pot saucer and some fire bricks. But I don't understand why you cut the lid and I don't want to ruin my grill. Could you explain, please?

Thanks Mike. You have to keep changing things. It's the way to stumble on invention. Always time to go back and revisit what works.

The Columbus Dispatch had a piece on a guy around here who will build a wood burning oven on your site for about $1500. It's been a desire of mine as well.

My only problem with kettles and getting the temp outrageously high is the stability. The 3 leg thing is terrible. The cart that the Peformer (I think) is the way to go. I think I'm going to take the same method and use green wood sometime soon. I need a fire extinguisher first.

Pro? LOL...thanks for accolade, but I seriously disagree! My problem is I keep adjusting my method versus staying with the same approach.

I think your idea is pure ingenious! In fact, I think I first "found you" last year through your Flickr stream of this project.

I have joked with Zoe before about building a wood burning oven in the backyard. I say joked because I know it will probably never happen! Your idea is certainly a step in the right direction. I believe I happen to have an old kettle lid in the garage too!

Sounds like a Podcast to me!
