Al you've inspired me! That pizza looks awesome! I've recently been making my own dough for my Pizzaque. I also made my first batch of sausage. Making your own pepperoni, sounds great!

I have been wanting to make pepperoni for years, but was always intimidated by the dry curing rules. But not any more, with those UMAi bags & casings you can make any dry cured sausage you can think of & right in your own fridge. The only thing you need to get is the right bactoferm, there are several varieties, the one I used ferments in 80 degee temps, so it's perfect for a Florida summer, but if you are up north & can ferment it at 68-72, then you would use the one of the other ones, I think it's SPX. UMAi has some good kits & recipes too. I'm a believer now & I have a 50 mm pepperoni stick that I think will be ready for this weekend. Our next door neighbors will be coming in on Sat night so I might have to make them a couple of pizzas on Sunday!! I also have some chorizo about ready so we may make a mix of chorizo & pepperoni. They should bring the beer, don't you think!!

You are an inspiration Al

I have a flour mill for real whole wheat flour
I can grow all my ingredients for sauce
Now, after seeing how easy you make it look, FRESH Mozza!
And then to top it off... home made sausage!

and now a real easy idea for a pizza cooker/grill!

Thank you

Been a long while since made a pizza. Trying to figure out how I want to cook. Between tx smoker gas grill method or the kettle pizza oven. Been a real long time since used the kettle as the last one went in the trash. I don't have that upper plate but if I do it need to get the temp down this time. I think you helped me one time to get a good one in the kettle but been so long ago I forgot. If I go with the kettle may use Roberts CI pan. This what I am working with.
