KettlePizza Basic 22.5 - Pizza Oven Kit for 22.5 Inch Kettle Grills. Made in USA

First things first I rate this at above 4 stars and below 5 but not sure if you can do that here hence 5 stars. It's good but not perfect. I love my Weber grill. I have several different grills including a pellet smoker type. The Weber is versatile but takes more work. So I get the pizza oven... I thought it was probably more of a novelty than anything else and the first time I used it I thought it was a POS but then I thought about it a bit and realized I wasn't setting myself up right and tried again. FANTASTIC PIZZA!!. You need to remember that fresh pizza dough can stick to your peel and also to your stone. I use cornmeal on both to avoid this. If it sticks you are in trouble from the beginning and disaster is waiting. Test it on the peel. If it sticks there it will stick to your stone too. If not then the stone is probably good too. Get your fire started by making a C with your briquettes on about the back third of your kettle. I use a full starter can of them. Let them get good and hot then put on plenty of wood. Vents both wide open. Lid vent to the front. It takes a bit to get the whole thing up to temperature so be patient. Once the thermometer is up in the right range then adjust your vents to hold it. Slide in your pizza and stand by to turn it 180 after a couple of minutes. I use a pair of tongs for turning, you can use the peel or whatever you find works there. I think the manufacturer sells some kind of pizza turning forks or something but I don't have them. Keep an eye on the pie. Thin crust takes a bit less time than thick crust. Once you get the hang of the whole thing this turns out fantastic pies. This isn't just an in and out and turn your back thing but if you have the patience to get the fire going right and stand by while the pizza cooks this is probably the cheapest way to make wood fired pizza at home. It is a bit expensive even at that but it is fun and satisfying so I will forgive the price. I don't know about anywhere else but here in Alaska the wood they recommend is pretty expensive. So a $19 sack of wood is probably good for about 4 or 5 events. An event being about 4 pizzas so that is $1 of wood per pizza which now that I see that written down doesn't sound so bad. Summation, This isn't as good a backyard brick oven but it works well and is much less expensive than other alternatives for wood fired pizza and the product is really fantastic. If you are into making your own pies or just wood firing the ones you buy at the market this is the product for you.

My wife is the master of making homemade pizza on our charcoal grill. It's amazing. After a few years, we decided that she should have this to bring it to the next level. First off, it is quite effective at holding heat in the kettle. So much so, that the other night, the plastic handle for the air vents on the lid of the kettle literally melted off. While this was a bummer, it kind of validates why you are buying this thing: to keep high heat in the kettle for making excellent pizzas, and this thing definitely delivers. It is a bit tricky to figure out at first. You want to lift the lid as little as possible: the whole point of this thing is to keep things nice and hot, so you need a nice... giant spatula made for pizza (sorry: I don't know what they are called). This will allow you to put the pizza in and take it out without taking off the lid. I also think having a pizza stone is a must: I would imagine trying to smoothly take pizza out or put it in over the bare grates would be problematic (not to mention it would likely scorch the dough almost instantly). You will also need to be mindful of the fact that depending on how many pizzas you are cooking, you will likely need to have a plan for adding more charcoal. Once you figure out all the little things that you need to do to use this, it becomes kind of an amazing little addon for your Weber grill. We love it.

The kids got this for me for my birthday, and am I glad they did. I have cooked pizza on my Weber before,but I was always a little disappointed with the results. I have had this device for two weeks, and we have used it every Friday night since we got it. I was a little worried that I would not get the advertised temps, but it was no problem. I use one full Weber chimney starter of ordinary Kingsford Briquets, (my preferred, their cheap)arranged in a semi-circle around the back of the grill, then I add about 6-8 fist size chunks of either applewood or hickory. It takes about 10 minutes for the temp to max out both of the thermometers. I have a 14" pizza stone that I got from a local big box store, (again, it was cheap and it works), and I put that in the oven to warm up with the grill. We make the dough from scratch using Fleischmans Pizza Crust yeast. You don't have to wait for the dough to rise, and it makes a bomb crust. We roll the dough out on a wood pizza peel, using plenty of corn meal to keep it from sticking. Then each of the kids will add what they want for toppings and it goes in the oven. Total prep time for the pizzas is about 15 minutes, and once it goes it the oven it take about 4-6 minutes to cook. Golden brown crust, hot melted toppings, YUMMM! The grill stays hot enough to cook about 3-4 pizzas before adding more fuel. I never have added more charcoal, we just add more chunks of wood when the temps drop below 700, and the temp comes right back up. The first time we used it we cooked 7 pizzas, which around here was just about enough. There was a note in the box that said if you posted a video of the oven in use on youtube, they would send you a free gift. I posted the video, sent them the link, and within a week I received a very nice BBQ apron and some other gifts along with a nice personal note. You can't go wrong with customer service follow through like that. American Made, does what it says it will do, great customer follow through. Nuff Said..

Have had this for about 4 months now, and it is simply amazing! There is a learning curve, and you will need to learn the ideal combination of wood and charcoal to get the ultra high heat levels. I use Dragon's Breath charcoal and HARDWOOD chunks (usually Apple wood) for excellent results. With every additional pizza, I get better and better results!

Parfait. Je viens de le recevoir hier soir, et hop, j'ai voulu l'essayer. Je suis bluffé par le résultat. Il suffit de faire de la braise, puis de rajouter du bois, on place le Kettle Pizza puis le couvercle du Barbecue et quelques minutes après on peut enfourner. La cuisson est rapide et le résultat digne d'une pizzeria... C'est livré avec un plat intox de cuisson, mais si vous voulez encore aller plus loin, il faudra prévoir une pierre et une pèle avec un manche assez long. PS: J'avais essayé de faire des pizzas sans le Kettle Pizza l'été dernier, juste avec une pierre a pizza: le résultat était nul en cuisson et long...

Hammerteil, wesentlich besser als das Weber-Original, obwohl ich eigentlich totaler Weber-Fan bin. Die Möglichkeiten sind ungleich vielfältiger. Ich kann jetzt endlich meine langstielige Paellapfanne auch in "geschlossenem" Zustand unterbringen oder mit 2 Grillrostebenen arbeiten. Mit ein wenig Fantasie und handwerklichem Geschick braucht man jetzt auch nicht mehr die erheblichen Mehrkosten für die Aufsätze für Mangal-Set oder Rotisserie auf sich zu nehmen. Einfach im Aufbau, aber extrem vielfältig in den Nutzungsmöglichkeiten. Der Preis steht sicherlich in keinem Verhältnis zu den Materialkosten, aber wer kann sich schon mal einfach irgendwo um die Ecke das dicke Edelstahl-Blech rund walzen lassen, damit es geschmeidig bleibt und nicht unter Spannung steht? Außerdem muss so eine gute Idee auch honoriert werden. Und wie schon gesagt: es eröffnet sich eine Vielzahl neuer Möglichkeiten.

This is just what I was looking for to turn my Webber Kettle barbecue into a wood burning pizza oven. Easy to assemble and use. Once you have got your kettle barbecue up to the correct heat it cooks the perfect wood fired pizzas.

So ein tolles Produkt. Es entstehen aufgrund des Aufsatzes die besten Pizzen. Auch unsere Freunde sind begeistert, waren hin und weg wie toll dies funktioniert
