Title: Now I get to go outside and smoke with the cool kids! +wifi tip
Post by: Berniep on August 08, 2018, 10:35:19 PM
Got it Monday.  Got the initial burn in done. Couldn't get the wifi to connect.  After trying a lot of things over a few days I finally did the use a cell phone with the hotspot turned on sitting right on the shelf and it worked.  Only thing I could think was that my phone had a password for the wifi and at my house, since we live out in the country we leave it open, you would have to be in the lane to get a signal and we have never had a problem.  So I set a password for the router and BINGO it connected!


So yesterday I cooked a deep dish pizza. It was delicious!  I really think Im gonna like this thing.

Congrats on the new smoker!  I've had mine a few months now and am really enjoying it over my charcoal grill.  I find I can cook a lot more complete meals with it.  A very versatile machine indeed and very easy to  get lit and control.

Well done Bernie. That pizza looked great.  I am pretty new to pellet cooking, and don’t recall a first cook (if it was your first cook) being a pizza in a cast iron skillet.  Nice job. Gonna love watching your future cooks. I love my RT, looks like you are well on your way to loving yours.

When I first started researching pellet grills I found a video of them making a deep dish pizza in a cast iron skillet and Ive had it on my mind every since.  Couldn't wait to try it myself.

When you do your Deep Dish, do you start with a layer of sliced mozzarella on top of the dough like a few of the shops I have seen in Chicago?

Congrats on your first cook.  NOW, how did your wife like the smoke flavor?

Well she liked it but at 425 there wasn't much smoke so the flavor was light.
I just got some beef ribs out and will be doing those today.  So I think that will be the test lol.

Yes and the crust is only on the bottom.  The burnt cheese makes the crust on the side.  Delicious.
