Full Fledged Farker
Hi guys! Long time no post... Hope everyone had a great summer.
I'm a former egghead until I decided to sell my medium egg setup to buy another offset last may. Like all of us, I love all things BBQ and I also love making pizza and anything cooked with wood and fire. Although the BGE can crank out some good pizza, I was never able to get what I wanted out of it for true neapolitan style pizza and needed more on the BBQ side and decided to move on from egghead-dom. Space was an issue and the medium was hard to get any color or great char on top of the pizza. NOW how am I going to make great neapolitan pizza?
I was originally considering the kettle pizza setup for the Weber, but again I didn't want to take shortcuts because I really wanted a true pizza oven. After a lot of research and back and forth in my head I decided to take the plunge and build it myself. I could've just bought one but at $1100 minimum for a decent oven, I could build one for far less and make it how I want it.
There's some really great info on building your own oven out there and I finally settled on the excessive ball approach. I need it mobile so size and weight are a big factor. It's going to be on top of a 4x4 table with steel wagon wheels on the back two so I can roll it in and out of weather. This will be a process of trial and error like all of these little endeavors, but what the hell.
Anyway, pics to come!
