Super
I like the concept, but: -To echo another comenter, I'd definitely recommend using gloves for this build; -I'd be a little concerned about using food-safe metals and connectors; -You're going to need somewhere to store a pretty unwieldy and sharp metal ring; and-I wonder how long that pizza took to cook. I routinely cook pizzas on my Weber kettle, with a kettle fairly loaded with coals (say 60 briquettes or so) and additional coals in a coal basket on the grate. I use a cast iron skillet as my pizza stone. I turn out pizzas about every eight minutes, and that's with a lot of heat. I like the look of these dedicated lid-lifters, but with the right timing I haven't found the need for one.

You really should be wearing gloves with that, especially if you're going to start using tinsnips. You can get them that that are on an angle instead of folding the sheet metal like that. There's also hand seamers you can probably rent/borrow from Home Depot to fold the cut sheet metal safely (and quickly. The cheap ones are less than 10 if you don't care about how fancy they are. Not gonna lie, this is a neat idea but I cringed seeing you push that jagged cut metal up against your face with no safety goggles on. Cut ductwork used to tear up my little baby hands, I don't want to think about what would happen to an eyeball.

Cool idea the way you built it. but i laughed because I make pizza all the time the neapolitan way. There is no leopard spotting when you said there was. and the pizza looks like it could have baked longer. I am using home oven and i get more dark spots and it takes 5mins at 550F to bake a margherita. For the crust you want it to be airy and soft, that depends on how well the dough is made and rested. again this is a cool idea, but you dont need to do all this work to get a good pizza. You can bake really good pizzas in a home oven on maximum temperature 550F with a baking pan or baking stone. Cheers

I actually did this with my Webber last summer, and it worked great. The key is to get it super warm and you wont get that if you only use coal. You need a wood fire at the oppostite side of the opening spreading the flames over the dome, just like a real pizza hoven. By doing this my grill with its thin walls and aluminium-thingy on top almost came up to 450 degrees (celsius. Worked great.

you have incredible work-ethic and versatile with your talents and skills. Don't be so self-disparaging - this was pretty cool and informative. I like it how one incorporates creativity into their craft of cooking. And please don't say that about yourself: ) Embrace who you are for you! You're cool bro!

Instead of a pizza stone (expensive) we use terracotta pot base. Unglazed clay, not so expensive, heavy enough that once it heats, holds the heat. The larger ones are also 2-3 deep, so you don't even need the base under it. Also, it's round and can give you a bigger cooking area.

Looks like it needed a lot more heat. Look into the Kettlepizza from which this DIY was probably inspired. With the baking steel kit it only takes 2 minutes when i have it heated up to 800F+. (NB: I am not affiliated with kettle pizza, just one of their very happy customers)

Hey Clif, Just FYI, pop rivets holding this together would be better than the screws you used, no sharp edges to hurt yourself. Also, steel holds heat much better than aluminum. Lower conductivity means once it gets up to heat its not losing as much to its outside surfaces.

I'd have been tempted to make it using an 8inch strip and 2 2 inch strips, would have saved a bit of material wastage and messing about with all the cutting- I love the idea of an expansion ring to use a BBQ as a pizza oven though
