We had a birthday potluck at work today so I made some pizzas in the XL Egg using some leftover slices of a pork butt I had smoked recently. I used Big Butz Original sauce and some mozzarella & provolone cheese. This time I cubed the pork to get pieces in close to uniform sizes (approx 3/8" - 1/2" cubes) to try to prevent the pork from getting too crispy.

I ended up cooking 3 pies today:

While having lunch at a local pizzeria yesterday, I picked up a couple of empty boxes and put them to use this morning:

The pizzas did well at work.

Thanks for looking!

Beauty man! What temp do you cook them at on the egg? What size is your pizza stone? How do you start your fire for pizza? I know, too many questions but I've really been wanting to try cooking pizza on my XL. Any other tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Jason. I've been cooking most of mine in the 475-550 range. The stone I used this time is the BGE XL stone which is 21" in diameter.

I started this one with 3 1/2 starter cubes that I cut down into 7 pieces and spread them around evenly in the lump to try to get it hot all over. It was too early in the AM to use the weed burner.

I let the Egg & pizza stone heat up & stabilize for about 1 hr before putting the first pizza on.

Those look mighty fine. I like the boxes - did anyone ask what pizza place they came from?

Those look awesome. I'd like to hear more about the use of parchment paper. I have always just used cornmeal on the pizza stone. What differences does the parchment paper create for you?

Thanks Rob! Nah, no one asked me but it might be because the birthday gal put a post it on the pizza box saying it was from me.

Thanks JM! I leave the parchment paper on for only about 5 mins. At that point the crust has already solidified enough to not stick to the stone. The paper will eventually burn if I leave it in too long. No cornmeal is needed with the parchment paper. I find it to be cleaner without the cornmeal.

Very nice looking pizza. 2 questions:
1. Where do you get the parchment paper?
2. Do you just yank it out after 5 minutes?
Thanks!
You have got to be up for a promotion at work....

Answers to your questions:
1. I steal it from my wife! (She buys it at Safeway - near the foil).
2. Yeah, use something to keep the pie in place and slide the paper right out.

As for the promotion, I must be cooking for the wrong folks. :doh:
