That’s good to know, I’m sure our readers from the “other Vancouver” will find this useful.

The problem is that the BGE plate setter doesn’t fit in Bubba Ho-Keg like it does in a BGE. The grill would have to rest on top of either the plate setter or the plate setter legs (if you turned it upside down, and I don’t want to run the risk of damaging that plate setter (not a cheap accessory).

I was having some luck with the last stone by ditching the plate setter and setting it up of the grill using the stainless steel carry handle that came with one of them. At least right up to the point where the stone slipped out of my hand and broke on the concrete. I will check out the local Ross to see if they have a similar deal on the pizza stones; at $5 each it won’t bother me as much if I break one.

The crumble looks amazing and the pizza looks tasty despite the crust debacle.

I have gone through a bunch of pizza stones as well and finally bought a stack of them from Ross with metal stands for $5 each. I do have a big green egg stone that has never broken but at $45 each I would cry if I dropped it.

Next time you might try putting the platesetter for indirect heat and put the pizza directly on a normal grate above – it works well if your pizza isn’t too floppy!

I’m still trying to figure out why more Canadian bacon is consumed in the US than in Canada, much less what it is doing on a Hawaiian pizza. Papa Murphy’s is a US-based take-and-bake pizza chain; I don’t recall seeing any during my visits to BC. Their toppings are pretty generous, the sauce is ok, and when the dough is cooked properly the crusts aren’t too bad. I’ve had pretty good luck on on the grill with them in the past, but yesterday not so. I think we’ve become spoiled by making our own…

The tops and centers weren’t bad (at least as far as store-bought pizzas with burnt edges go). I think we’ve become more than a little spoiled as those we make ourselves always seem to turn out so much tastier than anything we’ve brought home from a store or pizza parlor.

Lifes a journey of learning experiences – at least mine is. The tops sure looked good.

excuse my ignorance but I have never had a Pappa Murphy’s (I don’t think we have them in Canada)…those pizzas look like they have a decent amount of toppings for a take & bake or did you add some of your own. A few too many (okay, alot too many) black olives but the rest looks pretty good…except for the burnt edges.
And I dont know what Canada has to do with Hawaiian pizza…it’s weird…I would rather have pepperoni & pineapple. Random, I know.
