The FrankenWeber

TrustTheDust · 01-29-2010, 04:26 PM

Found an interesting mod on a 22" kettle turned pizza oven.

"Part of what makes this open air culinary spectacle work is the heavily modded Webber 22.5" grill that's been outfitted with fireproof blocks and a domed top comprised of refactory cement and perlite that's been molded in the original Webber top. Using chunks of wood and charcoal, the Franken-Webber quickly reaches 1000F (the ideal temperature for cooking authentic Neopolitan-style pizza)."

My question is, why the heavy modification? Couldn't they just use a kettle and a pizza stone? Is it because of the high temps needed?

Man, I got to give serious consideration to making one. I would like to take a closer look at the set up but.....Thanks for the post.
