I've been doing pizzas in cast iron skillets, in the camp chef. Looked at a pizza oven and or attachments.. Yet can do what i want in skillets or perforated pizza tray on the existing smoker.

Kind of hard to hit that ~800deg all-around sweet spot though for handmade pizzas on a cast iron with direct heat from a pellet smoker's pot. My guess is you don't get that crispy top/cheese/ingredients that you would get from a brick oven style that circulates the heat all the way around and not just direct heat on the bottom. I'm looking for that full brick oven result but at home for very little cost. At $20/pie you can pay for a $100 pizza attachment at home pretty quickly. I'm not saying it will be a drastically different result and I don't know we'll use it every night but I think it will be fun the nights we have friends over for "Make-your-own-pie" nights.

Do you know they sell freeze dried coffee flakes?

Yeah, yeah, I guess you know.

Stupid Masterbuilt Electric Smoker control board failed during my last smoking...

Oh well, it wasn't that accurate, and didn't hold temp quite as tight as I know can be done...

PID control here we come!

ETA: No, the smoker won't be getting to 800?C, but for $15, these 800?C K-type thermocouples work really well, and are accurate throughout the range (that I have seen)...

Total cost??? $75... New board from Masterbuilt? Probably about the same. But this won't fail again...

So you replaced a wimpy factory board with heavy duty industrial, NASA certified, orbital-computing, nuclear-grade, turbo-encabulator electronics? Well-played!

Tim Allen is somewhere calling out "Ar-Ar-Ar".....

I wanted a surplus 1911 and ran into this one well cheaper than the CMP's offerings. It's an arsenal rework of course, and it's got plenty of finish wear, but damned if it's not a functional military 1911. Came with the origination trigger thankfully, but I hate fucking around with 1911 trigger parts so might be awhile before it gets dropped in.







Also, for irving
