I've been buying cooking equipment like crazy lately. However it's summer time and as I get older, the more I like cooking. It started a couple of months ago when I bought a GMG Davy Crockett pellet grill for when I didn't want to fire up my Yoder YS1500 or Lang 36. Then I bought the Blackstone 36" Griddle about a week ago and it's been absolutely awesome. I followed that up with the Camp Chef Pizza Oven for my Camp Chef Somerset IV cooking stove. I fired it up today, had it to temp and promptly ran out of propane. Son-of-a. Ran to the gas station, swapped the tank and got my pizza finished up.
After i ate, the Brown Bomber showed up outside. No, not a kid who crapped himself, but UPS. They had my Waring WGR140 counter stop commercial griddle. I'm going to put it to use in the morning cooking corn tortillas after I press them. Who says a white boy can't make tortillas? haha.
Pizza Oven and a very basic pizza (Stove on Low to Low/Medium - cook time around six minutes):
Waring Commercial Countertop Griddle, 3/8" Stick Polished Cooking Surface, 120V:
The pizza turned out great with some crappy Betty Crocker dough mix I had in my pantry. I have some high end flour on it's way to me so that I can make my own pizza dough. Then it's on like donkey kong. I'm sure with a bit more heat off the burners, it would have a 700 degree dome temp without much trouble. The best part is, I didn't burn it on my first cook. I rotated the pizza a few times during the cook, since the back center of the stone is hotter than the front. For $100, this thing ROCKS and I didn't have to tie up more patio space. Cool part is, my 24" Camp Chef griddle will fit on the stove at the same time.
