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.
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)?
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...
