Advantages of pizza stone used in kamado barbecue?

The pizza stone for kamado offers several advantages for cooking pizzas.
Here are some key benefits:
1. Even, High Heat : Kamado pizza stones distribute heat evenly, allowing for even baking of the dough and a nicely golden crust. The kamado QUATRO, thanks to its ability to retain heat, reaches high temperatures that simulate those of a professional pizza oven.
2. Moisture Absorption : The stone absorbs excess moisture from the dough, which helps to achieve a crispier crust. This avoids a mushy or soft texture that can sometimes result from uneven cooking.
3. Preservation of flavours : by cooking directly on a hot stone, heat is quickly transferred to the dough, sealing in the flavours and preserving the aromas of the ingredients. The result is a pizza with an authentic and intense taste.
4. Versatility : A pizza stone for kamado can be used to bake not only pizzas, but also breads, focaccias, cookies, and other pastries that benefit from direct heat cooking.
5. Heat distribution : By using stone, heat is better distributed inside the kamado, which optimizes the cooking of other foods, such as vegetables or meats, while keeping the heat stable.
6. Practical and durable : Pizza stone is often made of cordierite or refractory stone, which allows it to withstand extreme temperatures without cracking, ensuring long durability.

How do you use a pizza stone in a kamado grill?

Using a pizza stone in a kamado is a great way to bake pizzas with a perfectly golden and crispy crust.

Here are the steps to use it properly :
1. Preheat the kamado:
– Turn on your kamado and heat up the grill. You should reach a high cooking temperature, usually between 250°C and 300°C (475°F to 575°F), or even higher, depending on your preference for the crust.
Let your kamado preheat with the pizza stone in place for about 15 to 20 minutes. This allows the stone to absorb heat and prepare to cook the pizza evenly .

2. Position the pizza stone :
– Place the stone directly on the grid of the kamado, positioning it so that it is stable and well centered. It is important to let it heat up well before placing the pizza on top.
– If you have an indirect cooking system, such as the Split & Mix baffles or an extra stone, you can use it to avoid excessive direct heat.

3. Prepare the pizza:
– While the kamado is preheating, prepare your pizza. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, add toppings of your choice, and make sure the pizza can easily be transferred to the stone. Use a pizza peel or board to make this step easier.

4. Transfer the pizza to the hot stone:
Once the stone is nice and hot, carefully place the pizza on the stone using a pizza peel. It is important not to leave the pizza at room temperature for too long before putting it on the stone, as this may affect the crust.

5. Close the kamado and bake the pizza:
Close the lid of the kamado to retain heat. The cooking time varies depending on the temperature of the kamado and the thickness of the dough, but in general, it takes 7-10 minutes for a well-cooked pizza.
When the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, the pizza is ready. You can check by gently lifting the pizza with a spatula to see if the crust underneath is cooked through.

6. Remove the pizza and serve
• Use a shovel or large spatula to remove the pizza from the stone. Let it rest for a minute or two before carving and serving.

Additional Tips :
– Sufficient pre-heating: Make sure the stone is hot before putting the pizza on it, otherwise the dough may stick.
– Use a little cornmeal or flour: Lightly dust the pizza peel or prep surface with cornmeal or flour to make it easier to transfer the pizza to the stone without it sticking.
– Heat control: Be sure to monitor the temperature to prevent the pizza from burning.
