    Also, don't a lot of the most famous pizza places (in NY and elsewhere) use coal?

    I guess "coal-fired" pizza doesn't quite have the marketing oomph as "wood-fired".

        Meh. Not that great, IMO.

                  Nice. Next time you make that, try topping it with some French-fried onions and chopped dill pickles. Sounds weird, but it really rounds out the pizza.

                          Dude, I think I'm going to have the wife buy me the Blackstone for my birthday (I don't trust her to buy me anything golf related). I'm curious what accessories are needed with the oven. Does it come with a cover?

                            Cover is extra. I ordered both at the same time on Amazon.

                            I have been meaning to make a post with a description of required accessories. I will do that tonight!

                              OK, here we go. My list of accessories.

                              *** ESSENTIAL STUFF ***

                              1a. Wooden peel.

                              You need two peels: a wooden one for prepping the pizza and dropping on the stone and a metal one to adjust and remove the pizza from the oven. This also allows you to be prepping the next pizza on the wooden peel while someone is monitoring another pizza in the oven with the metal peel. Be careful with the size. This one works perfectly for the Blackstone:

                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1





                              1b. Conditioning oil

                              To keep that peel conditioned, you will need some of this. Be sure to apply some before you use it for the first time.

                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1



                              2. Metal peel

                              This one is the perfect size (blackstone accessory).

                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1



                              3. Dough roller

                              You need this roll over the dough after laying it on the peel. Helps stop bubbles from forming.

                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1



                              4. Laser temp gage

                              I debated putting this in the optional category, but it is a very cool tool. This lets you know exactly how hot your stone is. I used to use this more until I got the hang of my oven. Now I can go by the oven temp gage. But not a bad tool to have around.

                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1



                              5. Scraper/brush

                              As you cook you will accumulate semolina from the crust on the stone. If you let it go too long, you will end up with burnt residue on the bottom of your pizza and it will start to taste nasty. Need to keep that stone clean. There are tons of options and I have tried several. Some are just too big. You don't have much room in the opening. You can get combo tools or two separate tools. I have finally settled on these two.

                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1



                              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1



                              If you have a long-handled bbq turner with a square front edge, you could use that too.


                              6. Slicer

                              One of these if you don't already have one. Some people use the big blade thing but this works great and takes up less room.

                                (continued...)

                                ***OPTIONAL STUFF***

                                7. Aluminum pans

                                For serving/carrying your cooked pizzas.

                                https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grip...ords=pizza+pan

                                (or similar - tons of options)



                                8. poker (carving fork)

                                You get bubbles in the crust while cooking. Need something long to poke them.

                                https://www.amazon.com/Anolon-Stainl...s=carving+fork



                                9. Shakers

                                We have a couple of shakers similar to this. Super convenient for working with the dough and to apply semolina to the peel evenly. We use flour in one and semolina in the other.
