first pizza on the smoker

I've always been intrigued when i have heard of people grilling pizza or cooking it in an egg, so today, i figured I'd bite the bullet. I haven;t had a ton of time to use the smokers in the past year, so i am planning on making up for it. Here is one of the pizzas i make tonight. Nothing complicated, pre-made dough from the grocery store. pressed it out and added fresh tomato slices, fresh basil, fresh moz slices, and a little garlic and olive oil. Had the smoker a little over 600. It needs new gaskets anyway, so wasn't worried about screwing them up. Have a pack of ribs and a brisket waiting to cook this week. :-D making up for lost time.

Looks good. Did you use wood when you did that? I am thinking I would like to try it but don't know where to start! Any tips you would like to share? Thanks,

Just lump charcoal. I was worried it was still smoking a bit too much, even after an hour. This is the first high temp cook i have done, but it turned out ok. If i could have gotten the crust a little thinner, i would have been happier, but they were good. I just put a chimney of lit coal in the bottom of the cooker and topped with another of unlit. I have a platesetter under the cooking grate and put a pizza stone on top of the grate. Opened it up till temp hit a bit over 500, and after it stabalized and stopped smoking so much put the pizzas on till they were done. Cooked really quickly. Wasn't perfect, but good for first try. Will definitely do it again. give it a shot.
