Chop-Top Weber Pizzakettle

[swamprb]

Got my inspiration from @varekai on this Weber pizza oven mod. Look away if the harming of kettles leaves you squeamish!



Two lids were sacrificed for this mod, I took one that had a missing handle and shaved it to fit inside the "P" 1993 Silver 3 wheeler. A double insulated lid-





Big Green Egg Large Pizza stone for now











Very happy with the results-heats up fast and raising the pies in the dome is a breeze. A few briqs under the stone helps it heat up nicely.





stay hungry my friends!

Chop-Top Pizzakettle V2 Total RED Domination!

Had a Redhead with "issues" and since V1 worked so well, I took the plunge with the trusty China Freight cut-off tool! Look away-you were warned!









door for pre heating





it gets HOT!





Even with the double insulated lid, it gets so hot that the 500* engine paint starts to fade.



Gotta work on my dough skillz now!

Hard to tell from the pic's do the two lids seal together to close off a dead air space?

1/4" gap between the lids at the moment. I may get some superwool insulation and pad it between the two lids.

Nice jobs... I like it.
I have a spare lid I've been saving for a UDS that will probably never happen. Hmmmm.

Very creative!

I make a lot of pizza and I'm always working on my dough. Some day I'll get there....

Looks great Brian! I am trying to figure out the door, any chance you could post some pictures of it?

Brian,

That is awesome!! Did you use a grinder with a cutting wheel? Can you post of the cutting tool you used? I've used cutting wheel before and the enamel really flies! I can see where using the tape helps alleviate that issue. I have some extra kettles that I don't use much. I think this would make for a great project!!

Reusing the cut out with the magnets to make a door is genius!

Brian, the Redhead only had one Lid?
