I have the Deluxe version of this and have had mixed results but of course I used mine with my slow n sear and I don't think I had enough coals on the side. Next time I'm going to try using it like the directions say to.
I also bought the stainless steel baking steel for it but only used it once. I have not used mine in awhile but need to try it again to get better at it.

The idea of getting one of these units has been floating around in my little brain... let us know how it works - when temps you got etc. you might as well join the ranks of forum members that have helped me spend $.

Awesome!
I had a Kettle Pizza and really enjoyed using it. Once you get the fire figured out, you can get very consistent results. I made a clone and still use it frequently.

I use mine often and love it. It will get over 900 degrees and cooks perfect pizza in a matter of minutes. Love love love it. Good luck with yours and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I’ve had mine a little over a year so an quite well versed in its operation.

Do you have any pictures of how you set your coals up? I think that is where I'm failing. The first time I made pizza's they came out pretty good. The next couple of times they did not and so I've not used it since. I may have gotten too many coals under the stone.

It may since it sits on the inside lip. You may have to try it on a lower part where there is an inside lip

I don’t have any pictures of the coal set up but I just bank them in a “c” shape in the back of the kettle and when the temp gets up to around 500 degrees I’ll put my wood on top of the coals. Let it get to above 900 degrees and I’m ready to start cooking.

aerotech11 - are you burning oak? and what size wood (same size you get in chunk from Lowes, HD, or Wally)?

Yup this is how I did it when I had one. Coals and wood banked in the back. You do have to monitor and rotate the pizza to get even cooking, but that's part of the fun.

I usually do burn oak but have had good results with pecan and cherry as well. I think my chunks are a bit bigger than what you would get at hd or Lowe’s. But I’m sure those would work. It’s a fun way to make great pizzas.

So, I've been considering getting this. Is the Pro Kit necessary or can I just grab the Deluxe Kit? Does the steel lid make that much of a difference?

This did not have the lid that sits above the pizza, but several threads here say that is the trick to the bottom crust and top finishing at the same time....
I have an 18.5 inch UDS drum lid that I will try to use before spending 127.00 more on this oven. My Idea is to put the 22.5 in cooking grate in the top half upside down(gets held by 3 screws sticking out) then putting the drum lid on top with it against the back side to reflect heat down...

Zippy12, your pizza looks great!
I successfully used a lid from a 55gal drum, before getting the steel from kettle pizza. Fire bricks work too. Resist using aluminum foil though!

If I forgo the steel lid for a while, how underdone is the top of the crust (generally speaking, of course)? Don't restaurants with stone fire ovens lift the pizza to the top of the oven for a few seconds to get the top of their pizzas done just prior to pulling them out?

Yes!
The 22.5 grill grate fits inside the KettlePizza and is held on place by the bolts extending out.
then I turned my 1.2mm 18.5 stainless steel UDS lid upside down and places it in back to catch the heat and flow it over the top of the pizza.
