@Chap pizza looks very good

Perhaps you also want to check Lotusgrill, which are portable and pretty useful, fast heating-up charcoal grills. They can also be used with a 'Pizzastein', but I haven't made Pizza on them, yet.

Like the small charred parts

Looks brilliant, @Chap

Are you using your kamado for that? What kind of stone?

Also, is your process to parcook with sauce, then top and finish? Looks that way, just wanted to confirm.

Thanks @mclaincausey

Didn't do it on the kamado this time, but tried before. My rangecooker in the kitchen generates faster higher temperatures. I use a simple round pizza stone that I preheat for about an hour.

Also, is your process to parcook with sauce, then top and finish? Looks that way, just wanted to confirm.

Yes excatly. Prebaked the pizza with tomato sauce for about 4 minutes then added olive oil, mozzarella and other toppings. I do pizza as Ken Forkish described in his book: The Elements of Pizza. Can highly recommend that book if you want to go deeper into pizza.

In fact I have the spiral-bound version of that book! Thanks @Chap

Thanks @endo that's a nice portable little grill but I think it won't work that good for pizza. You need a good isolated cover or closed grill to let the heat circulate. Otherwise the dough would be well baked due to the hot stone within a short time but the cheese won't melt.

@Chap It looks like you could be in competition with the pizza van at the Fallen Acorn during the anni party.  Pizza looks great by the way.

Thanks @ROman I tried but those at Fallen Acorn were way better, some of the best pizza I had so far.

Pizza looks amazing. I never tried making my own dough, so good recipes are highly appreciated.

It is worth it @Dmart … have a look at Ken Forkish recipes. The overnight poolish dough I used yesterday is pretty easy

oh man, that looks delicious

Yesterday I smoked a meatloaf for 4 hours. Today I sliced and seared it, and made a handheld on a tapioca flour tortilla with lemon aioli and sliced cornichons. It was way better than it had any right to be, and we are running it back tomorrow night with the last of the meatloaf.

Also spent time making mini breaded crab cakes for a party.

[popvulture]

Damn dude that all looks insanely delicious. I'm gonna borrow this meatloaf searing behavior of yours…

[jordanscollected]

Thanks @popvulture my wife introduced me to leftover seared meatloaf sandwiches and now I look forward to it more than the fresh out the oven meal.

[Jett129]

I definitely want any info/recipe you might have to share on smoking a meatloaf.
