Smoked Pizza w/Sausage: Q/View

I smoked the sausage until it was almost done before I put it on the pizza. When I made the doe, I stuck it in the smoker for 10-12 minutes before I put any toppings on it.
I kept my smoker between 275-300. Depending on how I make the doe depends on how long I leave it in the smoker. Thin crust pizzas around 45 minutes. This was a deep dish doe so I kept it in for a little over an hour.
I use wild cherry wood which doesn't leave a heavy smoke taste. Actually, I hooked on using this wild cherry.

The only reason I used the solid pan was because my wife was in a hurry and wanted both pizzas at the same time. Don't know why. 8-\
I have always used the screen pan to smoke my pizzas with great results. As for answering the question of being crisp, chewy, thick, thin or soggy, this depends again on what recipe I used for the doe and how long I leave it in the smoker; thin crust doe or pan-style pizza doe.
If I make a doe for a thin crust pizza, it turns out thin and crisp.
If I make a doe for a thicker pan-pizza, it turns out thick and chewy, the way we like our pan-pizza. Now keep in mind, with these answers, I am using a screen pan.
They are also nice for checking the bottom of the pizza visually.

I only have one screen pizza pan. If I would've known how well they work in the smoker I would've bought more and now I can't find them anywhere. I have just purchased a regular pizza pan that I am going to take to my drill press and try to drill 1/4 inch holes in it. We'll see what happens.

Since this is the first time I have used the solid I can say that the bottom was a little too chewy for my taste. I do not recommend the solid pan for smoking pizza.

There is no comparison to the flavor of a smoked pizza to a store-bought or ordered pizza. The first pizza I did was a store-bought home-made style pizza. After I smoked and tasted it, it was like, ah not bad. It wasn't until I made one from scratch that my taste buds went off. In a smoked pizza you can actually taste each individual ingredient.
The whole family here prefers the smoked over any store-bought or ordered-out pizza.
I better make a quick note here that I do not make my own sauce, cheeses or sausage. That part is store bought.

Don't forget too, I'm using wild cherry. That's giving me only a mild smoke flavor.

Your final question; What would I do different to get better results?
Send my wife to her moms for a long time, weeks maybe months or longer... 8-)

If ya need any more info, please ask.

Thanx all for the great replies and points. I think I talked my wife into spending fifteen dollars on me for Christmas. I'm finally going to be a paid member. What better gift could she get for me? None...

That looks like it would work. If I'm giving instructions, I don't like saying anything unless I've tried it. But it does look like it would work.
