I got a new pizza attachment for my weber and will be trying it out when the weather warms up a bit. When cooking pizza on the kettle, what kind of wood can be used to gain the extra heat. I believe it should be a hard wood but does it matter what species. Reason I ask is because the only hard wood I have available to me here in the north is birch, or I guess I could toss on a bunch of my chunk wood I use for smoking but that would get expensive really quick. Can birch be used for this

I'm sure birch would be fine. I use oak chunks on my kettle pizza cooker on the Weber. As long as you can get the pieces in there. I use my smoking wood chunks and they fit perfectly. I have even used pecan but usually it's oak. Burns long and hot.
