Wood Fire Roasted Tomato Margherita Recipe on the KettlePizza

Let me start this off by saying this was by far the best way I have ever cooked tomatoes!  I fire roasted them in the KettlePizza as it was coming up to temperature for about 15 minutes.  I took them out when the oven was about 550.  I noticed that putting these in the oven as it was coming up to temp, it took a bit longer for the KettlePizza to get to the pizza temp that I like to cook at (about 650 degrees).
I had to throw another log on before I threw the pizzas on.  This pizza screams freshness. 










Pizza Dough
Roma Tomatos
Basil
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

4 Wood-Fired Personal Pizzas cooked in 20 minutes (total time) on the Kettlepizza - How to cook on the Kettlepizza

Here is a quick video on how to use the Kettlepizza.  I cooked 2 pepperoni pizzas and 2 smoked sausage and diced peppers pizzas in 20 minutes total time.  I did not reload charcoal or hardwood during this cook.  This is an excellent way to cook pizzas on the grill.  



I fired up one mostly full chimney of Kingsford Blue, when ready dumped in a horseshoe banked around the back of the kettle.  I added 2 applewood logs and put the kettlePizza attachment in place.  I check on it 20 minutes later and it was perfect pizza temp.  
First pizza (sausage and peppers) went on at about 650 degrees and came out 3.5 minutes later at about 700+.  Second pizza went on at 700+ and was in that range for the whole pie...I probably took it off in 3 minutes.  These went really fast and I forgot to take notes.  
 The third pizza went on just under 700...I probably could have added one more piece of wood to spike the temp but really wanted to know how many pizzas I could cook on 1 load of charcoal and 2 pieces of wood.  I am guessing if I had all the dough rolled out and ready I could have gotten 5 pizzas done with the amount of fuel I used.  
The fourth pizza went on just under 600 and cooked in about 4-5 minutes.  All of the pizzas were excellent.  It really helps to have everything prepped ahead of time and 2 pizza peels is a must.  I would like to have an aluminum one as well.

Check out the video of this cook and enjoy!

Kettlepizza Unboxing, Setup and Installation - How to install a Kettlepizza Deluxe

Here is a quick guide to installing the KettlePizza for the first time. 
When I shot this video I was very disappointed that all the pizza dough I had was frozen solid.  I managed to get some dough out and defrosted it for a night cook.  I cooked 3 or 4 pizzas....I cannot really remember exactly. 
I threw the first one in when the thermometer said 550 (I was kind of anxious) - it took about five-six minutes to cook.  Next one went in at 650 - this was was about four and a half minutes. 
The last 2 the thermometer read well over 700 and took in the 3.5 minute range...gotta watch it closely for the first few cooks before you get a handle on how fast they cook.
I cannot wait to cook Napoletana and Margherita pizzas on the Kettlepizza!  I plan on doing them and a video as soon as the weather isn't so bitter.  My next video is 4 pizzas on the Kettlepizza in 20 minutes.
