It is a beautiful day up here, T-shirt weather, leaves falling. I used hard maple and oak pieces. I had the thermometer pegged pretty well until the last pizzas went in. Probably close to 800::F. The crust was really nicely done on the bottom too. I raked out the coals and soaked the bricks with heat before putting them in. Nothing fancy for pizzas today as it was a last minute thought.

No, my infra red only goes to 500ish. I'm learning to rake the coals out more to soak the bricks for better floor heating. I actually don't like the crust too dark on the bottom. Here is the bottom
crust shot. Agreed on the dome, insane heat up there.

Ah, I was more or less putting up firing pics, the pizza ones just fell in there. You were warned. ;) I actually skipped supper and feel quite disgusting still for eating at least a pie and a half myself. I neeed Tums now. I could not help eating those pies right out of the oven. Little extra garlic in the sauce too.
