It does help suck the moisture out but I don't use one. Wasn't necessary so I released it back into the wild. But I do get my oven or grill just as hot as I can. I like a little burn.

Anybody ever consider one of the Ooni pizza ovens?  I've done a bunch on my Weber kettle but I used store bought crust form the hill.  I have a fear of ruining dough.

I've seen some good reviews. Why don't you buy me one and I'll test it out for ya.

My buddy bought one and he loves it.   He won't share either.....You're on your own, Captain.

I've got the KettlePizza (kettle version) and I like it quite a bit. There's a learning curve to it, but I've gotten really good results a few times. I've also had a couple busts. I need to use it more to get more consistent results. I've seen a lot of great results from users on the web. But they don't show the failures.

It's not as controlled an environment as the Ooni seems to be. Temps can vary from cook to cook, and the thing is so hot you don't want to take it off and add fuel during a cook, so the temperature is dropping as you go. 

Here's a post I did a while back:

I grill out year round and the biggest issue is changing conditions.  Cold and wind can kill your heat pretty quick.  I'd consider that Ooni if you could use it for other things like a steak or chicken.  They cook them but use a pan.

Yeah, agree on the stone. I use a pretty wet dough and it helps get the bottom done nicely.

Making some turkey breakfast sausage ala Rinella tonight. I will post pics of the results! Going well so far.

For bread flavor, the overnight rise in the refrigerator is the best, I agree. However, the ugly truth is the flavor difference in pizza dough is minimal. The toppings overwhelm the subtle differences. As long as the dough is homemade yeast dough of some form, the keys are the texture you prefer, crust coating and toppings, and no soggy bottom.

The dough you have seen on our pizzas dozens of times comes together in about 2 hours. Baked in a sheet pan with generous olive oil the edges are very crisp, the center is done and not soggy, and you get decent bread to go with your toppings.

The dough recipe in the attached link is what we do. Try it. See if you don't like it. Enjoy the time you save. 😀

Final product. Had a test piece..holy hell is it good. This whole pan was from just two wild turkey thighs.
