    I've been using the air gap set up for the last 4 pizza cooks and the result has been brilliant - no burnt crusts. Really nice results cooking on 500 - 550F, 10 minutes each pizza, turning it around every 3 minutes. The dough is home-made by my wife (Berni) to a recipe given to her by a friend and has a lovely thin crust.

    16:44 - You are doing awesome here. But I want to say, the only reason they turn the pizza in a wood fired 900+ degree oven is because the wood source is pushed to one side. With the Kamodo, you have even super hot heat all around it, so absolutely no need to turn the pizza - other than it feels authentic and frankly it's fun. Great work here!

    Awesome. I've been making home made pizza for at least 5 years and I am still learning things; this video is a prime example. I've had mitigated success (no failures, mind you) cooking on the Joe, mainly due to loss of temperature after a few pies. This video will help in my technique. Thanks a bunch for putting this together.

      @wkosnik66 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jean-Marc Vandemeulebroecke were you able to associate your heat loss to anything on the joe? At the higher temps, I feel like my temps spike high if I don’t watch it. Never loose the temp. Sometimes I can’t control how high it gets.

    thank you so much for yet another great and clear video. after 25 years as a cook, it is now 10 years ago. I have had the kamado for a year and am only really starting to use it. Also because you still need good tools and this is not cheap. So now I've slowly put all my tools together and it's getting more fun to cook outside. I had already started pizza indoors in the oven. my oven reaches 350 degrees so for freshly made pizza that's a good temperature. I really bought a rock for the outdoors. So next week I'm going to put your advice into practice.

  • @danielshirleyruns

    Instead of using so much flour on the bottom you should try cornmeal dusting the bottom it doesn’t stick and you won’t have that burnt flour

  • @MrSOdgaard
    @MrSOdgaard 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    In particular for the last Neopolitan pizza you should use semolina flour for the roll out, and remove all excess flour before putting filling on top. That will significantly reduce the black on the underside.

      I agree, and use 000 flour instead of all purpose or bread flour for making the dough.

  • @chrisweaver41
    @chrisweaver41 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Publix pizza dough works great if you let it rest for a couple days in the refrigerator, ball should expand in fridge and fill bag, and then let it rise in a covered and oiled bowl for at least 4 hours at semi warm room temperature. I use this dough often and no longer have issues with snap back like I had in the past using it directly from the store.
    Another Publix tip is that they keep these frozen and set out thawed balls, you can normally ask for and purchase balls still frozen and keep them in your freezer ready to thaw and rest in fridge before allowing to rise at room temperature.

    Learnt from this ..
    In my learnings I found to do a stone set up exactly the same.
    Get the environment two thirds hot.
    Oil stone 2 minutes before pizza goes in.
    Ensure your base of pizza is lightly dusted with flour before placing it on the stone.
    Pop it on for 5 seconds then give 1/4 turn.
    Shit and cook for two minutes.
    Open and half turn.
    Shut and cook for four minutes.
    Open....
    Sit away for one minute.
    Cut... Serve...
    You're welcome ❤️🙏✅

  • @patriciaryan1477
    @patriciaryan1477 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Great video! I recommend using 1 1/2" kiln posts to elevate the pizza stone above the heat deflector stone. Kiln posts can be purchased from most ceramic stores or online and typically cost around $1.00 to $1.50 each, depending on the size. The posts tolerate temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees F and do not off-gas any toxic fumes. However, they are fragile and will break if dropped.

  • @TheChillBison
    @TheChillBison ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Since this video is 5 years old, if you have the X-Accessory rack, you can put that on the bottom position, put your heat deflectors on that, and then the grates with the pizza stone on top of that to keep an air gap and not have to go buy some cast iron plugs like he used in the video.

    Appreciate all your work to spread the Gospel of the great Kamado Joe. I've had my Kamado for close to 10 years and have enjoyed fish, fowl, pork, beef and pizza. For the money,​ I don't know how you can get a better Kamado. I would have liked to see how your crust looked on the slices. Was the dough cooked through, still wet or dry in the middle of the dough.
    One of my favorite dishes on the Kamado Joe is called, "Chicken under a Brick". First, your marinate a whole chicken that you split on the breast side and spread out. Then you grill it without burning it because you leave all the skin on. You put a tin foil covered brick on top of the chicken to keep it flattened out and it's out of this world. Keep up the good work.

    Brilliant video. At last somebody outlining the differences between pizzas. Personally I’m a fan of the Napoli style and it was very interesting to learn about the water content. Also that sugar maybe in store bought dough And how this will affect cooking. Something I will definitely look out for if not making myself. Would of liked to seen the Napoli in style pizza slightly thinner especially around the edge. But nevertheless I would’ve scoffed that right down regardless, and enjoyed every slice. Great work looking forward to more like this and the day I get my Kamado Joe 🤘🏽🦞

    Compliments for the Neapolitan pizza. As an Italian I can tell you that you can take it off even after a minute. Two questions: 1) how long does it take to bring the kamado with the stone inside to 450°C? 2) how much does the temperature of the kamado drop after a batch? Thank you.

    Well done. Love your in depth tips/tricks here. You are right on about having that air gap. A question: Knowing that an air gap between the deflector plates and the stone is a good thing and that you said putting the plates on the accessory rack is a valid option, could you just avoid the stand offs you purchased and instead place the accessory rack in the lower rack position and then place the stone on the main grate to provide that gap? This is what I do when I do use a stone (I sometimes skip the stone entirely. I have a couple videos on not using a stone at all, but I digress.). I also sometimes place the stone on the main grate and the stone and pizza on the expander rack up higher. Both have given great results for up to 3 large pizzas in a row.

    John, did my 1st one last night the Home made crust. I’ll say it was not a totally success or complete failure. The 1st crust got too soft on our large cutting board and stuck to it. So we did the 2nd one directly on the pizza stone - I know it’s to be hot but we didn’t know how to safe this one. It turned out very good. We sit directly on the deflectors on the grill we were around 525-550. Oh more experience a rookie in training. I just got my KJ classic a few weeks ago - bought it from my sister she moving out of town. I love the KJ after years of Weber cooking. I also love your channel.

    Hey John, great video. I'm a self proclaimed pizza connoisseur and have been making pizza in the oven at home for years. Until recently have I began cooking pizza on the kamado and your video has been very helpful... prior to watching had a couple fails. The burning question I have is (pun intended) what is the secret to getting the kamado up to 900 degrees? How full do you fill the box? I filled mine full. Does the size of the lump matter? Do you create the biggest fire you can? How long to you leave the lid open while the fire heats up and grows? I haven't tried it without the heat deflector and stone, but it seems like these items may be impeding the air flow and keeping my kamado from heating up to 900. Best I had was just under 600. But I struggled with being patient since we were hungry and only heated up the grill with the lid open for 20-25 minutes... I assume it takes much longer?

    John,
    I’m going to pick up some of these pipe plugs for myself. Before I do, is there any concern of the black paint causing fumes when exposed to the high heat? Would galvanized plugs be better?
    Thanks.

    Fantastic video and good comparison between different pizzas.
    Also I do love your idea of lifting the pizza stone up to avoid overheating and in turn burning the pizza base.
    Great job thanks mate

    John, can you do one where you use parchment paper? When I cook pizzas, I prepare 6-9 pizzas and I cook them all in 1 night. Without pre-making them on parchment paper, I find that it is way too difficult to get that many pizzas made and safely placed onto the pizza peel.

    Flour will burn, semolina you can use less and get more slide. Use less yeast, quarter teaspoon, and longer, cold overnight fermentations in the fridge.

      Does it matter if the grill grate is on or not?

    Last one is scorched/burnt and it seems the dome temp wasn’t as hot as the stone. Would’ve been a better cook at around 700-800 degrees. Great comparison video.

    How many pizza bases does the recipe you put up make?

    In the last pizza, looks like the lumps are huge! is that actual large wood chunks or just large charcoal pieces?

    What about using the accessory adapter with diverted on the low setting and the stone on top the grate on the high? That just seems logical

    If I don't have the heat deflector. Can the pizza stone handle the direct heat? Will it Crack?

  • @jorgelopez4240
    @jorgelopez4240 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can I use an old pizza stone as your bottom deflector? While still keeping the pizza stone on top for the actual pizza

    I know this is an old video, but I was wondering. If you want the pizza stone higher in the dome could you place it on the Kamado extender rack.

    I would be interested to know if one were using a Frozen store bought like a Dejorno pizza, if you should thaw it out prior to putting it on your heated stone. Not sure if a Frozen pizza hitting a 500 stone would cause the stone to crack.

    I'm using this trick for the first time as we speak. Any concern of the odor omitted by the pieces?
