Perfect Pizza Set Up on the Big Green Egg

Got the place setter, got the large pizza stone, made the dough, prepared 6 pizza's. The result.....it was ok not bad not great. The problem, the pizza was not crisp. I can't seem to get my egg (XL) to heat past 400 degrees. I'm thinking I may not be loading enough coal. How much coal do I need to burn to achieve high cooking temp? This coal is very expensive as you know. Any suggestion?
ReplyDeleteOpen up the bottom vent, let the coals get hot, keep the top vent open, close the lid and the heat should rise past 600 easy.
ReplyDeleteGood suggestion, I had the same problem and I tweeked the vents and boom it was easy for it to get hot.
ReplyDeleteI didn't use the place the first time, not a wise decision, so I glad you had a great picture showing how to set it up. Still in my first month of Green Grilling.
