Thought i'd try some home made deep dish in the smoker...taste was where i wanted it but i have to perfect the crust (it broke up a tad on me) Taste is what matters right??!
Marsh the only experience i have with pizzas in a smoker is with my UDS....the heat coming directly up on the crust works great, even @ 250. I would think it'll work in any smoker just might take a tad longer?I do pizza on the grill all the time ... but never in the smoker ...
Crust was always my major concern due to the low heat. Might have to give one a shot.
Pre-made i put directly on the rack... I suppose if i used a WSM i'd take out the water pan...the direct heat from the drum does very very well. It pleasantly surprised me the first time i threw one on the rack @ 250...came out golden brown and crisp.I can get my temp up pretty good if I don't use the water pan. and cant go over a 12" pizza crust due to my rack size
but I'm thinking if i keep it down closer to the heat source that may help.... I'm defiantly gonna give it a try and I still
have plenty of leftover pizza toppings and sauce from a Pizza Fatty I just made. I usually use the Premade crusts
they come out great on the grill and I think should hold up pretty good on the smoker...
Did you put the pizza directly on the racks or did you use a pan or baking stone. I really like using the stone's in the grill.
