Introducing DavesStuff - Innovative Camping Gear That Works

Get a beer first before putting the pizza in - the cook times are a guide. Lift the base up at the 5 minute mark and assess its colour - you kind of are looking for a mid brown and then assess how you are going on top of the pizza. You might find a big imbalance between top and bottom and have to add or subtract briquettes accordingly - If You strike it with a success first time you are doing well. I still burn pizzas occasionally but usually because I walk away or get distracted. Sorry, have a conference call now, will be back later Good luck

It was pretty hard for me at the start cos I had never used heat beads before. You need a lot more than I would have expected and for pizzas I just get it as hot as I can.
I use more on top than I do on the bottom.

Wish I had of known about this before I bought my Cobb

Thanks guys. I've added more beads and the temps are rising!

This has just gone in.

Ham, chilli salami, onion, mushroom, cheddar/mozzarella cheese, bacon pieces, smokey BBQ sauce!

Very healthy.............NOT!

Well score is 0-1 folks. Just not enough heat and no heat beads pre-fired to add to it, so it's now in the oven.

Lesson 1 learnt: Needs much more heat input than a cast iron camp oven.

Next one will be better!

That one might take a while to cook! Lol.
It's been a few weeks since I've used my oven Plassy, but you've inspired me to break it out this weekend.

Haha 3 pieces and I'm stuffed!

Ok made 2 mistakes tonight, not enough heat and by the time i fired up a new batch of heat beads the smoke chips had turned to charcoal, so took the smoke tray out.

When i abandoned the philstar, the base had cooked and all the toppings were hot so I put it under the kitchen grill for 5 minutes. Well blow me down and it was a taste sensation! The flavour was nothing like anything cooked in an oven. Even though the smoking tray was removed when the pizza originally went in it still had a beautiful smokey goodness!

Next time i will be better at this (famous last words)!

@Plasnart try using charcoal mate, heat is more untense quicker, you can always add the heat beads to keep the heat going longer

Thanks clunky, ive used charcoal in the past for my spit roasts but they do tend to die off quicker than heat beads. But yeah might be a goer using both. Cheers.

Works well Plassy..... I've also done the same with coals from the fire, just chucked in some beads to keep it going for longer if needed.
