Thanks so much Justin! Until I get a wood fired pizza oven in my backyard this is the best I can do lol. I'm really hoping things get better for you and you're family soon! If you need anything ever, I got you.
Whoa, that was darn fine pizza and calzone making there Nate. Been looking at all the differing pizza ovens and such out there and still leaning towards this one. Very cool shadow effect @ 3:16 - the word PIZZA on the stone.
Ill have to work that into all my kp videos now.....didn't even notice it until I got to editing. Thanks Joe!! After cooking on one of these for years - I want a wood burning oven LOL
Nate. I love the "long burn" it's almost as if it's a DJ set of pizza! Love the deep tracks and the kettle pizza is unreal. Just so you know, I own a kettle pizza because of your earlier videos. It performs amazing! Keep it up man!
Late to comment but I feel this is the best how to on making pizza with the Kettle pizza! Cannot wait to use mine. Really nice work on the fire and pizza dough. That dough looked soo good,
NICE! I will admit I got a little nervous watching cheese leak out of the calzone onto the cooking stone. (note to self: aim opening into the sun so the logo shines in a super cool fashion onto the cooking surface..sweet.)
I understand that 👍 cause when i make pizza. I make like 3 large, and slice them up. Saran wrap each slice and freeze them. To pop in the micro wave about 1 min ~ Just like fresh out of the oven Cheers buddy
Outstanding I watched a bunch of different videos with a bunch of different people talking about a bunch of different stuff I think that your video was what I was looking for see the product work and I think I’m ready to go thank you sir or ma’am I appreciate your hard work
Love your pizza oven, but the thing that stands out is the sheet metal under the lid ? I cannot find anything in the UK. Can you let me know what metal it is and thickness. I cover a spare BBQ grate in kitchen foil, but your set up is far superior 👍
After watching 20+ videos on the weber kettle pizza, your's was the best. Thank you for answering the questions in your comments, that really helped me. Is the steel plate a weber product?
Ohh nice!! Its been so long since I have used it without - Im guessing 3-4 minutes. Whats nice about not having the steel is you can lift it up in the dome to blast that top heat. Good luck - to me it seems the stones need a few cooks to get seasoned properly.
Nice setup. Thinking about getting the steel. Can you cook your pies with just with the steel on top and not use the Weber dome top and still maintain temperature?
Nate, great video and even better pizzas. I noticed that this setup is different from the video you did three yrs ago with the round pizza stone. These pizzas came out much better. What is this setup called? and where did you get the splits and what kind of wood are they? Thanks
I bet I could get similar results on the other stone, I just have had lots of practice LOL. This setup is with the tombstone pizza stone and the ss baking steel on top. The stones are identical besides the shape. Thanks Rugger!!! Cheers!
Not sure - I get pretty good results like this. I do not see many outdoor ovens using a steel instead of stone. I know they are testing a steel insert right now.
White Thunder BBQ ahh. Good to know. I know Adam Ragusa (youtuber) did testing with a steel vs stone in his household oven. He got better leopard spots with the steel.
I've watched this so many times since the day you posted it. Great cook! If you don't mind helping me out. Can you let me know if you have any tips or tricks on the dough? Also, there's many kits on the kettle pizza website that it's a little confusing. What kit do you have?
I have the one with the tombstone and the ss baking steel. I usually just get dough from a pizza shop. I had a really good recipe but cannot find where it went LOL. Cheers Joe!
I think it makes all the difference in getting the top done when the bottom is. That being said you could always just 'Dome' the pie if you dont have one. Thanks Adam!
Nate, two questions: 1. Can I get away with just the tombstone/prograte kit and the basic Kettle Pizza setup? (Trying to keep costs down) 2. What type of wood are you using and where do you get it? Thanks!
Thanks bud! You do not need the baking steel on the top....it helps but you can always dome the pies to cook the top more if you need to. I use cherry/oak/maple/apple - some I get free locally and I bought a few cords of firewood for the arteflame that I have been using as well.
Great pizzas ! I getting use to my KP but am struggling with getting up to temp. You say this is the long burn, are you needing to add wood as you go, or did those 4 rather big pieces last you?
I like to use small splits....I put one in to heat the stone then put another right before cooking on it. Usually can get 3 pies at 700+ with one small split.
@@WhiteThunderBBQ If I am looking to cook 12 pizzas for a party, would you just add a wood split every 3 pizzas to keep the party going. How would you manage the bottom heat? Thanks for this vid. Probably 4th time watching it but first time commenting!
@@Eidreezy076 i actually just did a video of how I changed my setup - i don't use as much charcoal now. Yes, I'd toss a log on about every 3 pies - th-cam.com/video/w7OscoeUMTk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the helpful video! Do you keep the Weber vent at the top of the dome closed or open? In the video it appeared to be closed What about the bottom (air intake) vent? Thanks!
I always use it. I guess I would have to do a side by side comparison. I know someone that never uses his and just 'domes' the pie to finish the top if necessary. Now I want to make pizza!! Cant wait for this weekend! Thanks Larry!
LOoks aweesome as always. I need to get inte making pizza on the grill. Having failed a few times i revert tousing the oven more often than not and thats boring. I will have to start without the KP though since they are not easy to find here, but i will figure something out. About time i got a project going anyway. For the time being i might make some oven pizza for dinner just because you teased my tastebuds :)
I have a few other videos doing it on a weber. A 10'' cast iron pan works really well for a good deep dish pie. I know you got that slim one so my 2 brick technique wont work. We are doing pizza tonight....if the dough defrosts in time ahahaha. Thanks Lasse!!
I tried the kettle pizza for the first time last night. The tray at the back of the frame they provide doesn’t hold enough coal. There are no true instructions on their web site. I found I needed two canisters for coal to get enough heat. Next time I will put coal and wood under the stone like in this video and some around sides.
yeah - definitely do not use that tray. You may also want to add a split in between ever couple pies to keep the heat up. Using this attachment is as much about fire management as it is cooking a pizza. Good Luck Paul!
@@WhiteThunderBBQ WOW! Huge difference in price. Stainless versus non-stainless? I always like to buy just once. I will have to investigate further. Thanks Pal.
How I turned my Weber Grill into a PIZZA OVEN. HOW? Easy! I was doing Kitchen counter tops in 18" Porcelain Tile. Had some left over. I just took a full size tile and Mark inside of the grate, and cut it out round. Where it would fit inside my Weber. With a 1/2" diamond hole saw bit, drill out 9 holes around it. This will let heat come up the top from the sides. The trick is, Take the grate turn it upside down where the handles are down. Then take the tile and set it on top of the grate. NOW YOU GOT A PIZZA OVEN 👍😎🍕🍕🍕🍕
Have you had any issue with discoloration of your copper paint with the high temps? I just got the KP set up and am debating finding an old one on craigslist to use with the KP.
I have not....but I only use this kettle for the kp. A dedicated kp kettle is highly recommended if you find an old one....maybe you can find a nice blue or redhead! Good luck!!
smoke a tonne with my weber kettle,but can I use regular campfire wood to do this? do i need hickory or misquit or the other standard woods. Can i use basswood or ironwood to get things going? I have a hard time finding splits of good wood where im at
How do you get the bottom crust to not burn?? I’ve bbq’d pizza 3 times and the all three times the crust has burned on the first 2-3 pizzas. Any tips would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.
I use charcoal and wood chunks mix. I get up to 600° give or take. Pizza stone on the grill directly. I put the charcoal/wood mix around the inside edges.
but you are expecting some char right? How often do you rotate and how long do your pies take? If the bottom is done I recommend using a metal peel to 'dome' the pizza.
Well that's totally not true... yes you can make a great pie on a weber grill without the kp. But the kp allows you to make high temp pies and calzones that you just can't recreate without a kp....and it's buy not bye bwahaha and really not realy
Total BS! They're leaving a lot out in this video! I have the same setup exactly. Same Weber Master, same pro stone and steel. I use oak or mesquite lump charcoal and almond wood. Note when the video shows their pie plumping the thermometer is on 500 degrees. With the dampers closed this setup pegs the thermometer at 700 degrees in 15 minutes! WTF? Actually a good oven is 700 to 800. The pies turn out great but only about 3 of them. The disparity between the top temp and the stone is drastic after the first three. For us this has been no different with or without the expensive "baking steel". I DARE THE WHITE THUNDER "EXPERTS" TO RECORD A COMPLETE SESSION UNEDITED SHOWING THE DAMPING TOP & BOTTOM AND ANY ACTIONS MADE TO CONTROL THE HIGH HEAT THIS SETUP GENERATES!
hahahahahahahaha - you have some anger issues man. I add another log after 2-3 pies. Vents are always wide open. I feel like you just need some more practice with this ridiculous comment.
Best demonstration I’ve ever seen on preparation of fire!
Thanks so much Vickie!! I had fun making it!!
That dancing/licking flame in the very last scene is the money shot!
You're dangerous with a camera - and we love it!
Thanks so much David!! If only my day job didnt get in the way :-)
Wish I still had my KP. That’s the best pizza cooker I’ve ever had.
Looks, awesome, Nate. You got great mileage out of that set up.

It's ss and made by baking steel. They also make a cold rolled steel version. I'd say 1/4-3/8 inch thick.

Awesome! I just got a kettle pizza. What is the piece you placed on the top, under the lid? Mine didn’t come with it.
Thanks Josh!! That is the baking steel - helps with top heat.
Awesome, artichokes on one? The bread looked spot on too. Nice job!
No but that would have been good. The bread was a buffalo chicken calzone:-) thanks pickles!!!
OHHH YEAHHH!!!>.. Can't wait!
This thing is so much fun to cook on Jabin. You have one yet?

So no other wood was added? Was that around three chimneys worth of charcoal, overall, between what you had first put down then the one you lit?
