I am having issues getting the tops of my pies to cook or brown on the top. While everyone loves and raves about the pizzas I have cooked on it, the cheese and toppings just don't get browned or fully melted. I have only been able to get my temps to around 450-500 using lump so I cannot get those 3-4 minute cook times but heck I don't care as long as they will cook. I tried cooking on a pan to slow down the crust browning so the top can get cooked and still the crust is getting well browned on the bottom before the toppings are. The other day I burnt the bottom of the crust and the top was still not browned. I tried foil under the lid for reflection and it did not make any difference. Is there a different mod I need to make to get even temps on the top as well as the bottom? Could my 16" pizza pan be restricting the amount of heat that gets around the edges and over the top? My grate sits 7" below the lid. I have thought about double grating it so I can do 2 pies at once but not sure how they will cook stacked one over the other. Any tips would be appreciated..
