sotv Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The third Pizza in the video looks to have cooked properly, they use 2 pizza stones, one on top of each other. Never seen that before, is their a benefit? Not used my ProQ pizza stone as much as I should as struggled to get it hot enough, but they are showing 230C with 1 stacker which seems a temp you should be able to cook pizza at? Maybe the Cocoshell Briquettes burn hotter than lumpwood I have tried previously? Youtube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So i've never tried this on my ProQ, but watching the video you linked to I' do it this way if i had two pizza stones..... Place the grill & stone directly over the coals, place the other stone on a grill on top of your first stacker. Stick the lid on & get some heat into it, around 300F i'd think. My thinking is you want alot of heat to cook the dough, but also want heat reflected back down to melt & brown the cheese, otherwise it runs the risk of sweating & the topping will slide off at the first opportunity when you go to cut it! So, put the pizza on the first stone, place the stacker on top to create a sandwich. Just my thoughts Cheers n Gone Nick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Could work, I have the plancha could cover that with silver foil to reflect the heat above it to see how it works, before investing in a second stone? My only concern would be have the stone so close to the coals. could it deal with that sort of heat? would also have to check how the stones would sit with the charcoal basket handles also on my older Frontier version.

Skagg2000 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 When I was looking for a ceramic tile to cut out a deflector I noted that most ceramic tiles would cope with firing up to 1000f for glazing. If the challenge I had cutting the thing to fit & how red it was glowing is anything to go by i'd say it won't struggle with coping with being directly over the coals. Rapid temp changes are more likely to cause it to crack than steady sustained high temperatures. If your frontier is like mine, turn the 3 brackets in the fire basket around so the longer lug sits on the top rather than the bottom as normal. This should give enough length for the stone to sit on these rather than the basket. I learned this from Ben Forte who showed me how to do it with the plancha when I was chatting with him about how I couldn't get enough heat into the plancha with it on top of the first stacker. Obvious really, but i needed it pointing out to me! Cheer n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Do you remember what tool and size you used to be able turn the brackets? Looked at it before but couldn't get anything to fit in the hole to loosen and turn them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember Steve when we fitted the fire tape to yours and you said about the doors, when we took a closer look at the hinges they were pop rivets.....are the brackets the same???

sotv Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Had a look yesterday and they appear to be the same as the doors. So a phillips certainly won't do the brackets either unfortunately. Same age as Nick's as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Looks like they used pop rivits at one time then?? how many rivets in the bottom brackets?? if it's two, what you maybe able to do is drill them out and use SS bolts in place of,??

sotv Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Looking to replace it for next year tbh, might just wait for the new one. If I get something different, may have a tinker then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
