UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
I remember having such a problem one snow storm a few years ago. Then I grabbed one of my HF welding blankets and put it over the smoker. Works amazing to hold heat. I still use it every time. I use much less pellets now.

Wow, after almost 20 years of cooking pizza on a Big Green Egg I learned something amazing tonight.
In all my years of cooking pizza on the egg I've struggled to get the top cooked correctly. It generally consisted of a crap-ton of charcoal in the cooker to get the temps up and the ensuing struggle to balance getting the top cooked without the bottom burning. This also meant I was limited to about 4 pizza's before the charcoal ran out. Tonight I got the pizza stone up to about 450* since my daughter prefers hers lighter, but in an effort to extend the cook time I added a couple of small pieces of hickory to the coals. The flames immediately shot the dome temp up to about 650* which put the perfect char on the top of the pizza without raising the temp of the pizza stone.
10 out of 10, highly recommend

This is my pizza which I prefer with some black spots to it.
