Big Green Egg Pizza Legs Up Or Down

My set-up for pizza is platesetter legs up standard grid and two fire bricks not house bricks they will shatter and damage the BGE.

Big green egg pizza legs up or down. Always fire up the BGE prior to making your pizza. You may notice a drop in temperature but thats just because the ConvEGGtor is cold. In fact the Big Green Egg bakes and roasts better and quicker than these wood.

Once youve lit the charcoal place your platesetter legs-up on the fire ring and the grid on top of that. Now you want to create an air gap between the plate setter and the roasting pan. Legs down and legs up.

Then close the lid place the dual function metal top and bring the EGG to a temperature of 300 C using the draft door and dual function metal top. This is crucial for some baked goods particularly pizza. This lets you get the temperature up to where you need it.

This gets you just about up to the thermometer. Grab your pizza stone and some fire brick splits or an extra set of BGE feet and youre good to go. Once you have the BGE fired up place your convEGGtor leg side down.

In this position you place a baking stone on top of the Plate Setter and in effect turn the Big Green Egg into a brick oven. Place your ConvEGGerator in legs down place a pizza stone on top I used my small Woo-Ring as a barrier between the two. Capping off the chimney retains the heat.

More even cooking less gasket damage less crispy crust could be good for deep dish Legs down. Place your grate on top of the plate setter. Legs down the plate setter raises the cooking surface flush with the edge of the Egg when you open the lid.
