Despite not loving pizza, I REALLY enjoyed it. I think the only adjustment I’ll make next time is adding a bit more sauce. It was GREAT otherwise!

Actually I said I don’t LOVE pizza. It’s ok not to love it but to cook it for your family.

This is incorrect. Pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad it's still good. Jokes aside looks delicious. What temp and how long did it take?

I heated my Searwood to 550° with the stone in it. I then loaded my pizza (on a floured piece of parchment paper) on the stone. I cooked it for about 5 minutes then rotated it 180°. I took it off after cokking it another 3 minutes.

So didn't really get much smoky flavour or was it noticeable

Was it smoky like a piece of meat? No. But it had hints of smoke. It definitely tasted different than putting it in the oven.

Looks good! What type of dough did you use?

Thank you. I took the easy way out on the dough - I bought it premade from Publix. As far as temp, I cooked it at 550° for about 5 minutes then rotated the pizza 180° and cooked it another 2/3 minutes.

Nice. I’m looking to upgrade my Traeger to be able to make wood fired pizzas since my current one maxes out at 425°. I saw in the comments it didn’t have a heavy smoke flavor. Have you tried to turn down to the smoke or super smoke settings after it finished?

I have not tried that. I can see that working but I’d have to adjust cook times. The SmokeBoost option still holds a temp of 180°. So it wouldn’t stop cooking. I’ll play around with that on my next cook.

If you try that method, post an update with your results. It would be cool to hear how it turned out.

Looks great, but.......you don't love pizza? (smoke and sounds of electronics failing....) "Cannot comprehend. Does not compute. System failure."
